The guys were joined on set by co-stars Adrianne Palicki and Scott Grimes while filming for the upcoming third season, which will air on Hulu in late 2020.
The sci-fi series moved from Fox to Hulu for the upcoming season. It was also just announced that Grand Hotel actress Anne Winters is joining the cast.
The Orville is set 400 years in the future and follows the exploratory spaceship U.S.S. Orville.
Seth MacFarlane‘s sci-fi series The Orville is leaving Fox and moving to Hulu for its upcoming third season.
The 45-year-old actor and writer revealed the news at 2019 Comic-Con.
“The Orville has been a labor of love for me, and there are two companies which have supported that vision in a big way: 20th Century Fox Television, where I’ve had a deal since the start of my career, and FOX Broadcasting Company, now FOX Entertainment, which has been my broadcast home for over 20 years,” Seth said in a statement provided to JustJared.com. “My friends at the network understood what I was trying to do with this series, and they’ve done a spectacular job of marketing, launching and programming it for these past two seasons. But as the show has evolved and become more ambitious production-wise, I determined that I would not be able to deliver episodes until 2020, which would be challenging for the network.”
“So we began to discuss how best to support the third season in a way that worked for the show. It’s exactly this kind of willingness to accommodate a show’s creative needs that’s made me want to stick around for so long. I am hugely indebted to Charlie Collier and FOX Entertainment for their generosity and look forward to developing future projects there. And to my new friends at Hulu, I look forward to our new partnership exploring the galaxy together,” Seth added.
The third season of The Orville will air as a Hulu Original in late 2020.
Seth MacFarlane takes the stage at the The Orville panel at 2018 PaleyFest on Saturday (March 17) in Hollywood.
The 44-year-old actor, singer, writer, and director was joined by his cast mates Halston Sage and Adrianne Palicki to talk about their Fox show.
Also in attendance were co-stars J. Lee, Peter Macon, Scott Grimes, Mark Jackson, Penny Johnson Jerald, and Chad Coleman.
The Orville has recently begun production on season two, but no premiere date has been set yet. Seth previously said that it will be out later this year.
The show has also added Chris Johnson and Jessica Szohr to the cast for the second season.
Charlize Theron is acting as a special guest on Fox’s The Orville for the fifth episode of the season!
Seth MacFarlane, who created and stars in the show, spilled a few details about how he got Charlize to say “yes” to the guest spot. Charlize and Seth previously worked together on 2014′s A Million Ways to Die in the West.
“I called and asked her to do the show. She astonishingly said, ‘Yes, I’ll come do your little TV show,’” he told EW.
Charlize plays the role of Pria Lavesque, a captain of another ship.

Seth MacFarlane is joined by The Orville co-stars Adrianne Palicki and Halston Sage for a panel at 2017 Comic-Con on Saturday (July 22) in San Diego, Calif.
The actors, along with cast members Mark Jackson, J. Lee, Penny Johnson Jerald, Chad L. Coleman, Scott Grimes, and Peter Macon, debuted new footage from the upcoming Fox comedy series.
The Orville is being described as a mix between Seth‘s show Family Guy and the beloved series Galaxy Quest. Some people are also considering it a Star Trek parody!
Officially, the show is “a one-hour science fiction series set 400 years in the future that follows the adventures of the U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory vessel. Its crew, both human and alien, faces the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the familiar, often humorous problems of regular people in a workplace…even though some of those people are from other planets, and the workplace is a faster-than-light spaceship.”
The Orville premieres on Fox on September 10.
