The Orville: Seth MacFarlane on S03 FOX-to-Hulu Move: "Thank The Lord"

As the clock keeps ticking down towards the premiere of Hulu & Seth MacFarlane's The Orville: New Horizons (otherwise known as the third season… just much, much bigger), the series creator has been hitting the press junket route to get the word out about it. Yesterday, we checked out MacFarlane taking on some of the internet's most-asked questions about him (more on that below). But this time around, MacFarlane is checking in with Jimmy Kimmel on his ABC late-night talk show to catch up on old times… and offer a preview of the upcoming season (beginning at the 7:20 mark). And make sure to stick around after as MacFarlane explains why he has such a good time making the show and his perfect response to the show moving from FOX to Hulu: "That's over, thank The Lord."

Here's a look at the full Jimmy Kimmel Live! interview, where MacFarlane also discusses his new album Blue Skies, what it's like doing photoshoots, his addiction to film scores, his favorite music growing up, the story behind Selma Blair biting him, and the wardrobe malfunction he had mid-interview. Yeah, MacFarlane and Kimmel cover a ton of ground…

And for a look at MacFarlane tackling a wide range of internet-based search questions, including if he drew Family Guy, if he spent any time working on Johnny Bravo, what are some of the voices that he does, what he was thinking when he created American Dad, how many awards has he won, why he "hates" Tucson so much (?!?), and (believe it or not) lots more, check out WIRED's Autocomplete Interview below:

With Hulu's The Orville: New Horizons ready for launch on June 2nd, here's a look at the official trailer & sneak preview:

"It seemed that because the show was going to be making such an uptick in scope, and in many ways, going to feel like a reset, it felt like it wanted something special," MacFarlane explained about the upcoming season going with the addition of "New Horizons" in the title during an interview with SFX magazine "You had a new opening title, a new set, new costumes, a new look, just a new aesthetic that really competes in the world of streaming shows." But that doesn't mean The Orville still won't be the show fans know and love (and can still recognize). "The show is still the show, but with some new aspects to it," executive producer Brannon Braga continued. "We're getting to a point in the third season where the kinds of stories we wanted to tell were much broader and more ambitious in scope than even the first two seasons. Seth [MacFarlane] was feeling constrained by it. The show features a newly revamped Orville, a new crew member on the bridge, and what we think are bigger, more spectacular stories, not just in terms of the visuals and the action, but the emotions and the emotional fireworks as well."

Now launching on June 2, The Orville fans were treated to an early look at Capt. Ed Mercer (MacFarlane), Cmdr. Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki), Lt. Gordon Malloy (Scott Grimes), and Admiral Halsey (Victor Garber) in their welcome return. But that wasn't all, with looks at the season's newbies like Winters as well as Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5) and the late Lisa Banes (Royal Pains, Nashville) guest-starring as President Alcuzan & Senator Balask.

The upcoming season also stars Penny Johnson Jerald (as Dr. Claire Finn), Peter Macon (as Lt. Cmdr. Bortus), J. Lee (as Lt. Cmdr. John LaMarr), Mark Jackson (Isaac), Chad L. Coleman (Klyden), and Jessica Szohr (Lt. Talla Keyali). In addition, the late Norm Macdonald will be heard once again as the Gelatin lieutenant Yaphit, with Eliza Taylor (The 100) onboard to guest-star (with no additional details released). With a new home & new missions, here's a look back at the teaser for Hulu's The Orville: New Horizons, set to land on viewers' streaming screens on June 2, 2022:
