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!

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!
