Hulu has now set a 2022 release date for Season 3 of the sci-fi seriesThe Orville, as well as a new subtitle that reflects the show’s trajectory. The story follows the crew of the USS Orville, an exploratory vessel that travels across planets in the 25th century. Creator and star Seth MacFarlane previously announced that the third season had finished filming in August, which will premiere on June 10, 2025.
The series will debut at Hulu under the titleThe Orville: New Horizons, which, of course, is about the title spaceship reaching new places across the universe but also may be perceived as a comment on the production: the show started off at Fox but was moved to Hulu after Season 2, and not even MacFarlane is sure about the show’s future, which heexpressed in a tweet.
As it might be too early to have finished footage (especially on a sci-fi show), the teaser forThe Orville: New Horizonsbrings only dialogues between characters played over the empty main deck of the Orville, with security lights being turned on as tensions escalate.

The ensemble cast includes MacFarlane,Adrianne Palicki,Penny Johnson Jerald,Scott Grimes,Peter Macon,J. Lee,Mark Jackson,Chad L. Coleman,Jessica Szohr, andAnne Winters.
