The Orville was a welcome series for those of us who got turned off by Kurtzman’s various “edgy” Star Trek series. Seth MacFarlane’s science fiction series managed to poke fun at and also honor the tropes of Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek universe. But, on top of that, The Orville was also its own thing with an identity that evolved beyond what could have been a parody.
Sadly, we only got two seasons on Fox before the series went on hiatus in 2019. However, the Orville was picked up by Hulu, and we’ve finally got a new look at what to expect in the renamed series now known as The Orville: New Horizons. We spotted the trailer over at Ars Technica.
The special effects-laden trailer looks to pick up either during the first battle with the Kaylons or shortly after the second season’s finale. Several Planetary Union ships are destroyed. The scene transitions to inside the ship where we get a lot of sparks and explosions, like a good old Star Trek episode. There’s a lot of death. Holes are blown in the ship, sucking out crew member after crewmember.
Then we get a jumpscare. The show’s new intro follows this. The Orville sports a far more detailed hull now. The ship is loaded with more panel lines and various other mechanical detail. And that’s it. That’s where the clip ends.
Seth MacFarlane took to his Twitter to thank those of us who were eagerly awaiting the crew’s return. In his message, the show’s creator states that the series will be premiering on June 2nd exclusively on Hulu, and he links to the video from above.

Say what you will about the current state of Family Guy, but I believe Seth’s heart is all in with The Orville.
