EXCLUSIVE: The Orville wont join the list of TV shows cancelled for at least another year.
The space-comedy has been internally renewed for Season 3, sources now confirm to TVShowsCancelled.com.
The early third season renewal comes ahead of The Orville‘s second season, which premieres December 30.
Per sources, The Orville Season 3 is slated to launch late 2019.
According to insiders, FOX has not set The Orville Season 3 as the last in the show’s run, leaving a window open for a potential fourth season. Stay tuned…
Woody says
Love, love, love this show!! There is just something about it that got me hooked from episode one!! Can’t wait for Season 2, and very happy to hear there will be at least a Season 3.
Gayle Kleinman says
Wow! So happy to hear that there will be a Season 3 and possibly more seasons. I really enjoy watching this show, as I am a Star Trek fan (watched all Star Trek Incarnations, except Discovery as that is not free to watch and you have to have a TV subscription to CBS All Access.). I just love that it’s on FOX. The characters are so different than Trek as it is a drama with a Comedy element also.
Gina says
Gayle I found the characters to be very similar to Star Trek, especially TNG. They threw in just enough of a twist to try and avoid a lawsuit. Bortis makes a pretty good Klingon, Alara is a good Yara Tash substitute, Dr. Finn does a great Dr. Crusher as mom impression, and for some reason, Isaac reminds more than little Byte of DATA.
I must say, I’m surprised you completely missed these similarities.
But maybe I’m just grabbing at strings.

Yara Tash? … I think it was more Tasha Yar?
– they’d shoot you at most convention for that mistake o_0

David Smith says
Glad to hear there will be a season 3, just saw the sanctuary episode and it was terrific hope many seasons to come
Duncan says
I cant see (based on season one) Discovery being star trek; I have not seen the changes that they’ve done for season two but hear it’s supposed to be more like Star Trek thankfully. I as well couldn’t see paying for CBS all access so just waited until it came out on dvd….cheaper and can watch any time…
AJ Funky says
The topic is Orville here. Orville is comedy set in a space surounding. ST is much more pure Sci-Fi. It has two different targets (viewers wise) these shows, people keep comparing those. It tells more about themselves than what the show is worth/About. I love both shows, they are VERY different.
Cheryl Schwarz says
Love this quirky show!!
Martin Brannigan says
One of the better shows on at the moment. Hopefully there is a season 3 and 4
ultimate747 says
Heck yeah! Love The Orville.

The article came Dec and the ratings have dipped below 3 million this season and down since last year. It is treading dangerously to the chopping block..
Brian says
Those ratings you spoke of are meaningless in this day and age. When you look at the whole week and DVR viewings, then it is well many other shows. People watch shows when they wish to not just when they air.
Ross Kardon says
I am a gung-ho fan of the the Orrville! I sure hope the real future is not a nightmare apocalyptic future and is a wonderful future like on The Orrville. One of the things I like best about the The Orrville, is in that future it is possible to regrow missing limbs on amputees, to the point that cutting off somebody’s leg can be a joke!
Nolagirl says
I LOVE this show and even got my husband hooked . We are SO looking forward to more and more seasons. This show has some really compelling messages along with tongue-in-cheek humor. It would be a real let down if it got cancelled
PAMELA WHITE says

James Skidmore says
Here here !!
maureen boutwell says
great program
Crissy says
Best show I’ve seen in a long time. I look so forward to snuggling up with my husband and some popcorn and watching each week. Very imaginative, well cast and well written. Can’t get enough, keep it coming!
Timth2lman says
Honestly, coming from a Star Trek and Stargate SG1 fan background, I am really pleasantly surprised at this show and how well its done. I think they’ve done an excellent job of character building and so far the writing is some of the best. I wasn’t at first sure how I would take this show but it really surprised me. And this season 2 with the Kaylon story line was excellent. I hope they continue with this. Honestly, this show could command a fan base much larger if given the chance. Perhaps a earlier time slot and a 20 to 24 week episode length. Unless they get too PC and keep the stories/characters going as they are, I will continue to tune in each episode for another adventure with the crew of the Orville.
Phyllis Allen says
I am sooooo happy that their will be a 3rd season among rumors it could be cancelled. I am not what you call a sci-fi fan but I love this show. It’s ability to showcase serious issues in a caring light hearted way has me coming back every week. It has all the right stuff love, humor, family issues, drama all made more interesting with good subject matter and good writing not to leave out the great acting skills and makeup. I never miss an episode I hope to watch this program for years to come. We just Love it!
Cheryl says
I love The Orville. Cant wait for season 3, This show is awesome…
Graham Burgess says
Here in New Zealand we get The Orville on demand on a “same day as USA” basis. Have loved the show from the start. Now my son is an avid watcher
Matt Brownsett says
Fantastic… The Orville is definitely the best Star Trek series currently on TV.
Dave says
Love the cast and the show. Funny, suspense and good writing. When I heard it might not come back, was very very upset. It seems all the show I watch get cancelled. I welcome season 3 and beyond. Sounds like a science fiction remark! Anyone know what happened with the first girl that played security?
Ron says
Bitchin! 🙂
Quovadiszero says
Please, another game of latchkum!!
Frank Bromley says
Internally renewed means NOTHING until there is an official announcement
anthony j scala says
YES !!!!! Going to drop Direct TV as soon as I can put up a digital antenna so FOX is back on the TV. Can’t stand Direct TV.
Jean Onstad says
I know, I have directtv now….I watch all the Orville episodes on Hulu. Love that show! It is the best show on tv, especially if you are a Star Trek fan. It is a cross between the original Star Trek and Star Trek NG……only better!! Please Fox, give this show a chance even beyond a season 3. Season 2 was awesome!
Kurt H. Patzelt says
Thank You, Thank You Thank you….I know so many people watch your show…its the best…go SETH
Diane Bellan says
Hope it is more than an internal renewal. Love the show. It really has gone in some episodes where no one has gone before.
Wendy says
great show! the kids love it. I just keep my hand on the remote when bortus and klyden are on, in case I need to fast forward or mute anything that might not be appropriate for kids.
Dennis Berube says
Wonderful news! I already bought the first season on DVD and have watched it several times. I will buy all they make as it is a great and funny adult aimed space show!
James says
Good show but awfully preachy. They need to can the PC crap and just entertain us. Who wants to be preached at?
Tom J says
This is great news! The Orville is my favorite show, sci-fi with an abundance of tasteful humor.
