The ‘Solar Opposites‘ are returning for a 3rd Season, as Disney+ announces a July UK premiere date for the anarchic animated series.
‘Solar Opposites’ centres around a team of four aliens who escape their exploding homeworld only to crash land into a move-in-ready home in suburban America. They are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo (Justin Roiland) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love humans and all their TV, junk food, and fun stuff. Their mission: protect the Pupa, a living supercomputer that will one day evolve into its true form, consume them and terraform the Earth.
In season three, this alien team are apparently striving to be less of a team and more of a family… So we’ll see how well that works out!
Back in June last year, it was announced the series was already renewed for a fourth season, meaning there is plenty more to come. If you’ve listened to the Geektown Radio podcast, you’ll know what huge fans we are of the series, particularly the “Wall” episodes, which are something of a show within a show… “The Wall” is a terrarium in Yumyulack’s room in which he places people who have annoyed him, by shrinking them down with his shrink ray. The series then dedicates portions of episodes, or sometimes entire episodes, to life in the shrunken world of “The Wall”, with its totalitarian society, revolutions, heroes and villains. It’s a wonderful addition to an already hilarious series.
Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan (‘Rick and Morty’) are co-creators and executive producers alongside Josh Bycel. The series is co-showrun by McMahan and Bycel. Justin Roiland, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone and Mary Mack reprise their roles.
‘Solar Opposites‘ Season 3 premieres Wednesday, 13th July 2022 on Disney+ UK, the same date it drops on Hulu in the USA.
