The Orville is an American science fiction comedy-drama television series created by and starring Seth MacFarlane as series protagonist Ed Mercer, an officer in the Planetary Union’s line of exploratory space vessels in the 25th century. Inspired by several science-fiction sources, but mainly the original Star Trek as well as its Next Generation successor, both of which it heavily parodies and homages, the show follows the crew of the starship, USS Orville, on their episodic adventures. Two seasons have aired, 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, and a third is scheduled to air on Hulu in late 2020. The Orville is a joint production by Fuzzy Door Productions and 20th Century Fox Television. The series got a rating of 8/10 from IMDb and 65% from Rotten Tomatoes.

At the moment, very little is known about what the episodes will cover. But the story is likely to delve into further adventures of The Orville and the diverse crew. The writers of the show have told that season 3 will address the fan complaints received in the previous seasons. Eason one consisted of 12 episodes, and season two had two extra ones. Season 3 is said to fewer than both the seasons. But the good news is that each event will run for an additional 10 minutes or more.

It is being said that The Orville season 3 will be available on Hulu by late 2020. However, with the production shutdown due to coronavirus pandemic, the expectation may not be met.
