"The Orville Season 3 Will Be the End of the Series" Topic

"For fans of good science fiction and old-school Star Trek, there's some bad news to report. The Orville, Seth MacFarlane's comedy-turned-homage of all things Trek, will not have a fourth season at Hulu. Season 3 will be the end.

Th eidea that Disney would pull the plug on a Fox item they have inherited and wish to avoid having makes some sense, as most Star Wars EU fans would know; The extra weight of the show's history, plus the bad feeling that could arise with Paramount ( Who keep making litigation noises at anythign that looks remotely like a "Star Trek" Parody/Pastiche/Fanfic/Tribute that puts no gelt in their pockets ) could have swayed tehm agaisn tit to support soem other independent product.

Sad… I enjoyed the show….

Not surprised.

The visuals were great, but much of the episodes fairly uninspired, and boring.

Doubt I'll get to see season 3 since I don't do streaming services. Cable is expensive enough.
