Seth McFarlane’s The Orville is moving from FOX to Hulu for season 3 in 2020.
The announcement was made during the show’s panel at Comic-Con in San Diego. A move to Hulu allows more flexibility with episode orders and running times as well as production schedules, which was important to MacFarlane.
The third season of The Orville will join Hulu’s lineup of genre programming including the Emmy-nominated Castle Rock from J.J. Abrams and Stephen King, Marvel’s Runaways, Future Man from Seth Rogen, theInto the Dark franchise from Blumhouse Television and the upcoming hyper-noir drama series Reprisal starring Abigail Spencer. It also joins MacFarlane’s other series on Hulu, including American Dad and Family Guy.
