How The Orville Season 3 Moving to Hulu Improved The Show
Seth MacFarlane explains how finding its new home on Hulu improved The Orville season 3. Set 400 years in the future, The Orville follows the crew of the U.S.S Orville as they explore the mysteries of the universe in episodic adventures inspired by Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. The series was created by MacFarlane, who also directs and stars as Captain Ed Mercer, the commander of the Orville. Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon, Jessica Szohr, J. Lee, Mark Jackson, and Anne Winters also star as Ed's crew on the Orville.
Subtitled New Horizons, The Orville season 3 recently premiered on Hulu to impressively high reviews. New Horizons has come a long way since the show's first season, which generally received negative reviews from critics. Many reviews criticized the show's lack of focus in season 1, although The Orville season 2 seemed to improve on that problem. Now, in contrast, The Orville seems to have found its voice, and New Horizons delivered the series' biggest adventures yet without losing sight of its characters. The other change The Orville season 3 saw from the previous two seasons was its move from Fox to Hulu as its exclusive home.
