Orville is a return to the ST:TNG formula that made Picard and Riker so famous and much loved.
I actually like Seth and Adriana as CiC and FO. They play off each other without seeming disingenuous.
The Orville Season 4 Reportedly Set to Begin Production In Early 2025: https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/the-orville-season-4-reportedly-set-to-begin-production-in-early-2025/
The show was never at risk of not being renewed. The main issue slowing the production is that Seth MacFarlane wants to write every single episode by himself.
This whole thing is a personal fanfiction that he got money to make into a real show.
In season 3 he wrote 4/10 episodes.
I mean good. He obviously had enough vision and creativity to get it this far, so if he doesnt want it to be watered down im happy to have less of an awesome thing than way too much mediocre shit which is what lots of other shows are right now. If theres other writers that have good stories to tell then i hope they get a chance to make those into something great too.
Yeah I’m definitely not complaining. I’m just pointing out that the show was never cancelled… It’s just a really slow show to make because almost all of the pre production is just 1 guy
