The Orville cast is back to work. Production on season three of the Hulu sci-fi series has resumed. The cast and crew of the series were forced to shut down production in March due to the pandemic.

Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon, Halston Sage, J Lee, and Mark Jackson star in the sci-fi comedy which follows the crew of the U.S.S. Orville.

Members of the cast and crew shared the news from the set on social media to mark the restart of filming.
