The Orville has pulled off some excellent guest stars like Ted Danson, Liam Neeson, and Charlize Theron. However, on this week’s episode streaming now on Hulu, they had their most famous and unexpected cameo to date.
Who was it? Dolly Parton! I seriously couldn’t believe that Seth MacFarlane pulled that off, and no one knew about it until her scene came on that I actually thought it was fake. At first, I assumed she was a hologram (like her character). But it was really her in the flesh or projection.
“What an honor to be on @TheOrville with @SethMacFarlane and @RenaOwen. I might be as old as yesterday, but with all this new technology they make me look as new as tomorrow,” the beloved singer wrote. “I really hope the fans enjoy it as much as I enjoyed being a part of it.”
So my hat is off to MacFarlane for landing such a legend and keeping her appearance a secret until it was out.
When it comes to why Dolly Parton is in the future and what song she sings, I am not going to tell you. I am just going to tell you to watch this season to find out because what a powerful season it has been thus far.
And what makes it even better is the musical score that intensifies every scene they use it in. I never heard music better than they use it on the show.
Hulu finally released the first full trailer for the second season of Only Murders in the Building, and there are plenty of gasp-worthy moments for the series that stars Stever Martin Short and Selena Gomez.
Which moment made you gasp the loudest? And how excited are you for the program being back in two weeks?
What can we expect in 14 days? Following the shocking death of Arconia Board President Bunny Folger, Charles, Oliver & Mabel race to unmask her killer. However, three (unfortunate) complications ensue – the trio is publicly implicated in Bunny’s homicide, they are now the subjects of a competing podcast, and they have to deal with a bunch of New York neighbors who all think they committed murder.
Who do you think did it? I am not even going to try to guess because I was completely off during the first season?
Way back in 2019, Fox cancelled The Orville, even though they renewed it for another season, and Hulu saved it. After all of this time, you would have thought that we would’ve gotten new episodes by now, but we haven’t.
Things had been quiet for a long time, but then Seth MacFarlane announced in September that the third season would finally premiere on March 22nd. Well, things changed, and today, he revealed a new premiere date.
To all The Orville fans: Thanks for being so patient with us as we’ve navigated the production challenges resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As occasionally happens, our show has been repositioned amidst the ever-changing television schedule landscape, which means that the wait will be just a bit longer, and we’re now preparing for a June 2nd launch on Hulu.
We’ve always promised you a television experience that will make it worth the wait, and we’re not wavering on that. We understand the frustration you’re feeling over more delays, so we want to give you a little taste of what’s to come. Here’s a sneak peek at the first few minutes of our season opener, and our new main title!
At this point, it is more like a revival than a new season. I feel like Family Guy was off the air for less time when Fox cancelled it.
When the new episodes finally start streaming, I will need a refresher because I honestly don’t remember what happened. I think it takes place in space in the future. It has been so long it might be present-day at this point,
Am I mad? No, because I know he is going to give us a show that is out of this world. Get it? I will be here all week!
The second half of Pen15’s second season drops on December 3rd. And those will be the final episodes for now. That is because Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, both 34, have decided that they don’t want to play middle schoolers anymore.
All hope is not lost because The Hollywood Reporter reports that Hulu will be up for new episodes if they decided to reprise their characters at some point. Although, I don’t think they should wait too long. I mean, who wants to see two 40-year-olds playing 14-year-olds? I don’t!
Fox renewed The Orville for a third season, but then they changed their minds. Thankfully, Hulu said we’d love to go on a ride with Seth MacFarlane in his bizarre spaceship and saved the show.
That was back in 2019. Since then, there has been no word when we will finally get new episodes. That was until today. The streaming service and the ship’s captain announced the series will be back on March 22, 2022. That is just six months from now.
That means I have six months to rewatch the first two seasons to remember what happened. I mean, it is not like we went through a global pandemic since then. So I might have forgotten what the show is about and what happened.
Anyways, I am happy that we are getting more of The Orville. I would say soon, but six months is still a long ways away during the time of COVID-19.
