Season 2 Recap
The Orville overcame several obstacles last season. They defended earth from the Kaylon invasion; engineered social change with the Moclans; and brokered a truce with the Krill. The season finale saw them fix their timeline. Despite the series' popularity with audiences on Metacritic, ratings continued to decline. MacFarlane had other commitments to films and his FOX animated show Family Guy and TBS series American Dad.
Season three of The Orville comes to Hulu in late 2020. What do you think the series can expand on? Will Moclus leave the Union? Will the truce break with the Krill? What is the next phase of the Union-Kaylon war?
