Airing on the FOX television network, The Orville stars Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon, Halston Sage, J Lee, and Mark Jackson. The sci-fi action-adventure series centers on Captain Ed Mercer (Seth MacFarlane), of The U.S.S. Orville, and First Officer Kelly Grayson (Palicki) — his ex-wife.

Telly’s Take
Will The Orville be cancelled or renewed for season three? Right now, it is too soon to judge by the ratings, but I am sure FOX will pick up another installment, because it has been approved to receive California tax incentives for a third season. Remember, entertainment aside, television is a numbers game, and the most important numbers involve money. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with any breaking developments.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Orville TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if FOX had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Seth McFarlane is a friggin genius. I love him this show is awesome. We need at least
another 7 more seasons. No all kidding aside, the show is genius, the sly sense of humor
and the other interactions between each other love love love
I loved the original Star Trek and The Next Gen until it became “preachy” The Orville I wasn’t sure about as I wasn’t a massive Seth Gordon fan but he has pitched it perfectly. It has the characterisation of the Origination but added real humanity to the characters, whether Human or Not. The humour isn’t slapstick and the special effects aren’t OTT. If Fox cancel it go to Netflix or Amazon they will snatch your hand off and so will the fans
Ummm Who the hell is “Seth Gordon”?
The Orville is a great show. Fox would be stupid if they canceled this show.
Hollywood puts out trash and wonders why we don’t watch it. Then, they put out a show we like. And don’t understand why we watch it and demand more.
You have a hit. I say launch a 3rd season.
Brilliant boxset bring back for season 3.
The Orville is great. Please bring it back for Season 3!!
This is the best show since star trek and i would be devastated to see it cancelled
