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.

Love the show and find this news very sad. I say Goodbye as I'm not going to add yet another bill to watch TV.

Not buying another streaming service to see it, especially one where I can't skip commercials unless I pay another premium. A shame, too, because I love this show.

Wow, Fox loses another great show (do they miss Brooklyn Nine-Nine yet?)
Good win for Hulu but it sucks for people who don't have their service. Congrats to the cast and crew of "The Orville" for the renewal and hopefully your new home is even better for you.

Wow, I have 1 show that I watch on Fox now: Family Guy! That's it!! I tired of Simpsons years ago. Archer (which is running thin) is on FX, American Dad moved to TBS, and Sunny in Philadelphia is on FXX. The Cleveland Show is gone. I sure hope Fox has something good up their sleeve. Being in their target Demographic, I watch more shows now on PBS than Fox!! Wow!!

Not quite sure how I feel about the move to Hulu. Since I typically watched on Hulu anyway (no commercials) that part isn't a big deal. But it being delayed until late 2020 is a bummer and I'm not sure I'd like them releasing all the episodes at once (which I'm just assuming). Kinda liked this one being a weekly and being able to discuss each episode after it was on before the next episode on different forums.

Great show, well done. Too bad it will now be unavailable to many of its supporters. Bad move.
