Season 3 will air on the streaming service.
July 20, 2019
It was announced today that The Orville will be moving to Hulu for its upcoming third season. Creator Seth MacFarlane broke the news at the show's Comic-Con panel, stating that production changes for Season 3 would delay its release and that the streaming service would be a better fit for its schedule needs.
The hour-long space dramedy is coming off a strong creative sophomore run which helped strengthen its already-loyal fan base. Its mix of thought-provoking sci-fi story lines and witty humour have helped it carve out an underserved niche in the television landscape.
Taking inspiration from Star Trek, The Orville takes place 400 years in the future, when Earth is just a small part of an advanced and mostly-peaceful Planetary Union. The U.S.S. Orville is a mid-level exploratory vessel with a human and alien crew led by rookie officer Ed Mercer, who is played by MacFarlane. Determined to prove his worth despite his First Officer being his ex-wife, Ed leads his crew as they face the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the familiar workplace problems.
Look for Season 3 of The Orville to premiere on Hulu in late 2020.

I refuse to play the streaming game, sad it was a decent show.
I will bet eventually it will end up somewhere it is free to watch, All these new streaming channels are going to crash and burnout. Oversaturation, sometimes I play the game by subscribing for 1 month when all the episodes are done for the season and unsubscribe. If the show is really worth watching.
dish offers me hundreds of channels. and a good dvr. That is why I keep it Fox offers me cancellations. and now this? As for streaming mine is very fast , I pay 72.00 a month for that though. xfinity. so streaming COSTS have to add the high speed internet costs to some degree. But amazon prime has tons of documentaries that are great. I mean , you want warplanes? whatever. history? it's great.
Except, it's not cheaper than cable. Everyone who defends streaming keeps failing to include the cost of internet, especially with speeds high enough to stream. And that's assuming it's available and reliable in your area.
As it stands, if I were to get all three major streaming services and internet, it will actually cost me almost 50% more than my cable bill right now.
TV is TV, not real life. If they want to put a show behind a different paywall, so be it. Life moves on.
