What’s ahead for The Orville? Recently, star and creator Seth MacFarlane spoke with USA Today about the FOX TV show’s second season.
Set 400 years in the future, the sci-fi comedy centers on the crew of a mid-level exploratory spaceship, The U.S.S. Orville. The cast includes Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon, Halston Sage, J Lee, Mark Jackson, and Chad L. Coleman.
In the interview, MacFarlane teased season two of The Orville, saying fans can expect more character depth and more cinematic visuals:

Season two of The Orville premieres on FOX on December 30th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Please…. just no lens flare.
