Recent behind-the-scenes images from The Orville: New Horizons show one actor's gruesome demon transformation. The science-fiction comedy series, originally branded as The Orville, premiered on Fox in 2017 where it aired for two seasons before moving to Hulu, a decision that supported creator Seth MacFarlane's ambitious production goals and subsequent release strategy. Inspired by Star Trek, the show follows the various adventures of the crew on board the titular exploratory space vessel in the Planetary Union, an interstellar alliance of Earth and other planets made 400 years in the future. MacFarlane stars as Captain Ed Mercer and is joined by a cast that includes Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Peter Macon, Scott Grimes, Jessica Szohr, Anne Winters, and more.
Episode 2 of The Orville: New Horizons, titled «Shadow Realms,» marked a distinctive shift for the series when it incorporated horror elements and the introduction of demons. The crew of the Orville, after negotiating with the Krill to explore an unknown region of space, ignore the warnings of dangerous creatures and choose to investigate the Kalarr Expanse anyway. When Admiral Paul Christie becomes infected by alien bacteria, audiences get to see one of The Orville's most shocking scenes, in which the character begins mutating into a horrifying entity that ends up infecting additional crew members, leading to several other transformations.
