, also known as Season 3, is the most recent season of The Orville. It premiered in the United States on Hulu on June 2, 2022. This season's canon consists of 10 television episodes and the book, Sympathy for the Devil, originally scripted as an episode of the series.
According to showrunner Seth MacFarlane, Season 3 was planned to resemble the tone of the successful Season 2, especially the episodes Identity, Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. Speaking before a convention at the time he was writing the season, MacFarlane told fans, "I want to make this year all like [Season 2]." Writers consequently emphasized dramatic and action-heavy narratives over comedy.
On September 22, 2021, Hulu released the first teaser trailer for the show.
On February 4, 2022, Hulu released the opening of the premiere episode, Electric Sheep, along with the show's new opening title sequence.
Early development
Plans for Season 3 finally got underway in June 2019. Staff met with senior concept designer Lex Cassar on June 6 to begin pre-production for the art department. "If we as an art department don't start planning ahead we could fall behind real quick," Cassar surmised the next day. To meet production and filming demands, Hulu doubled Season 3's production schedule over Season 2. Each episode took on average six to seven weeks to complete, not factoring substantial delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. By August 29, staff commenced construction changes to Stage 15, which housed the majority of The Orville's set. Post-production crew re-made the opening title screen to be "even more beautiful."
Writing
Creator Seth MacFarlane felt the budget limitations of the first two seasons had constrained The Orville's writing, and he was excited to transition to Hulu where he could tell "broader and more ambitious" stories. During writing production for Season 2 in 2017 and possibly 2018, "a couple" scripts were set aside if the show were renewed for Season 3. Writers initially planned for up to 13 episodes, based on the number of scripts MacFarlane believed he could write: "Thirteen episodes in is when I start to come apart." The final number was reduced to 11. (It would be reduced again years later, this time to 10, when Covid-19 restrictions made filming Sympathy for the Devil impossible.) Dan O'Shannon joined the writing staff in early 2019, though he quickly grew despondent over a lack of input in the creative process and left after under a year with the team. The writing staff was authoring scripts for Season 3 by early May 2019. Switching to Hulu, a streaming service, gave the writers more air time over network televisions, so they enjoyed greater leeway to tell their stories. Writers returned to allegorical storytelling to drive the plot. As executive producer David A. Goodman put it, Several scripts were sent to the art department by August 14, and the writing team had completed five stories by August 19 and mapped out the season's story arc. More air time meant grander plots and more elaborate special effects; Goodman said Identity, Pt. 2, by far The Orville's most ambitious episode to date, "would be one of the smaller episodes this year." Visual effects producer Brooke Noska added, "Last season, we pulled off the impossible for the [midseason] battle. Now we're trying to do that almost every single episode. And we're doing more content in less time."
Changes to the cast
A new regularly recurring member of the cast was announced on November 3, 2019, Anne Winters, who will play Charly Burke. On February 19, 2021, actress Eliza Taylor posted to Instagram a photo of makeup artists making a prosthetic mold of her upper torso. She wrote that MacFarlane told her, "Come play on The Orville... It will be FUN". Season 3 also saw two cast members pass away. On June 4, actress Lisa Banes (Speria Balask) was killed in a hit-and-run scooter accident while crossing Amsterdam Avenue in New York City. On September 14, actor Norm Macdonald (Yaphit) died of cancer after a quiet, nine-year battle. It is not clear if either Banes' or Macdonald's untimely death altered the show, although Seth MacFarlane stated that the writing team had plans in place for Yaphit should the show be renewed for a fourth season, but it would not entail using a voice actor to replace Macdonald. MacFarlane had been unaware of how ill Macdonald had become while recording lines, and MacFarlane felt gratitude that he had worked through his illness to support the show. Only days before airing, executive producer David A. Goodman and director Jon Cassar promised a "big cameo from a big sci-fi franchise."
When The Orville still belonged to 20th Century Studios and aired on television, The Orville's writers plotted out a story arc to dramatically increase the number of two-part episodes over Season 2, told over 13 episodes.
Everything changed when Disney purchased 20th Century Studios and The Orville moved to Hulu. The Orville was given longer run times, so the writers dropped their plans for two-part episodes. Hulu and MacFarlane negotiated an episode count for Season 3. Hulu wanted only 10 episodes released all at once but they eventually agreed to 11 released on a weekly basis.
Hulu allotted roughly 70 minutes of air time to each episode, about 12 to 15 more minutes than in previous seasons. When the Covid-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, Hulu loosened its restrictions so that overall time was greatly extended, with one episode running as long as 85 minutes. This meant that by adding up the total run times, Season 3 under Hulu was the equivalent to 16 episodes under 20th Century Fox.
Unfortunately, the pandemic created new travel restrictions, and the show's ninth episode, Sympathy for the Devil, had to be cancelled because the crew was unable to film abroad. The script was later converted by Hyperion Avenue into a tie-in novella and published on July 19, 2022. The lost episode means Season 3 has only 10 episodes.
Renewal came late in the year for The Orville, several weeks after the conclusion of Season 2. While the cast expressed their hopes for a Season 3 and the producers said they were "optimistic", Fox declined to answer publicly whether the show was renewed or cancelled through the show's entire second season run. At the end of Season 2, ratings analysts were divided whether The Orville would be renewed.
At the end of April 2019, creator and showrunner Seth MacFarlane said that he had decided before Season 1 aired that if he did not see "growth" by the end of Season 2 then he would end the show,
By early May, the show's producers possibly entered talks with Fox on renewal.[n 1] At that time, executive producer David A. Goodman commented: "I think the show has been doing well for [Fox]. The studio loves the show. It sells well in foreign sales. So, I am optimistic, but as I often say in this business it is nothing until it is something."
Fox officially announced that The Orville was renewed on May 11, 2019.
On December 10, 2018, the state of California approved $15.8 million in tax credits were Fox to renew The Orville for a third season. The write-off was one of the highest of any network television show, and roughly $1 million more than the previous season.
Hulu substantially increased the budget over Season 2, though the exact amount is unknown. Seth MacFarlane made sure to limit their reliance on expensive techniques like special effects so that if Hulu renewed the show at a reduced budget, The Orville would not look worse in Season 4.
On July 20, 2019 during San Diego Comic Con, Seth MacFarlane announced the show would move to Hulu for its third season. Charlie Collier, CEO of 20th Century Fox, said the decision to move the show to Hulu was due to scheduling and executive producer David A. Goodman has said that Fox actively wanted to keep the show in its television lineup, but agreed to release it to Hulu.
In their own study of the switch to Hulu, The Popcast found:
Despite its late announcement, the move to Hulu seems to have been known to the executive producers as early as April 2019, long before a Season 3 was announced. When asked in an April 25 interview if he could make a show on streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu, MacFarlane avoided answering the question,
Family Guy in that it doesn't require - I think we have like one broadcast standards note for all of Season 2 [for the episode Primal Urges]. It's just not that kind of show; it goes for something different. The project, and the story, and the tone tell you where it wants to be.
However, the acting cast have said that they did not learn of the move to Hulu until just before walking onto the stage of the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con cast panel.
In 2022, MacFarlane said that one of the most "frustrating" aspects of working at Fox was that the studio did not give him time to create "moments," simple lingering scenes like Luke Skywalker standing on a sand dune in Star Wars: A New Hope or Wesley Crusher modelling his new uniform in Star Trek: The Next Generation which advance the emotional connection between the audience and the characters.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the cast and crew attended fan and press events on a regular basis, as they had for the first two seasons. After the pandemic caused extreme delays, the team stopped attending live events and rarely attended virtual ones. Only in the last few months before the premiere did the cast return to promote the show in any significant presence.
In interviews days leading up to the Season 3 premiere, MacFarlane seemed nervous but hopeful The Orville's audience had grown during the pandemic.
