It has been over six months since the conclusion of The Orville Season 3, and fans of the beloved sci-fi series are still waiting to hear whether it will be renewed for a fourth season or it is already canceled. Recently, actor Chad L. Coleman, who portrays Klyden on the Hulu and Disney+ show, spoke with the media about his role on Superman & Lois and gave some insight into the situation regarding The Orville’s renewal.
Coleman is quite optimistic about the situation as he says:
“We’re all in the loop and out of the loop. We think it’s gonna happen, but it’s still up in the air. There’s so much going on with all of these studios that it’s just like, ‘Well, we gotta settle this thing first, then we can really decide on that thing.’ A bunch of that is going on. We hope so. Seth has an amazing relationship with Dana [Walden] and with Disney, who’s running it now. And they said they’ve had promising meetings, so we’ll see.”
The lack of news about The Orville’s renewal has left fans wondering whether the series will continue. There were rumors that it would end after the third season, but the cast refuted those claims, noting that fan interest and viewership would play a significant role in the show’s renewal. For those hoping for a fourth season, now is a great time to rewatch some of the series’ best episodes with a Disney+ subscription.
Despite working on other projects, Seth MacFarlane has indicated that his passion for continuing The Orville is strong. His recent post on Twitter about Planetary Union’s finest ships to the U.S. Navy gives fans a giggle:
The Orville: New Horizons wrapped up its third season with a plan in place for whether it would be cancelled or renewed. The penultimate episode, “Domino,” set up a clear direction for the fourth season, assuming the show is renewed, while the finale, “Future Unknown,” felt like a proper series finale.
Chad L. Coleman’s recent comments have provided some much-needed clarity on the situation regarding The Orville’s renewal. It seems that there is more going on behind the scenes than just deciding whether to renew the show or not, and some of it may have nothing to do with the series specifically. With a strong relationship between Seth MacFarlane and Disney’s Dana Walden, there is reason to believe that a fourth season could be in the cards.
For fans looking to watch The Orville: New Horizons, Disney+, and Hulu are currently streaming the show. Hopefully, news about the show’s renewal will be forthcoming, and fans won’t have to worry about the series ending anytime soon. With the potential for new alliances and conflicts between the Planetary Union, Kaylons, Moclans, and Krills, a fourth season of The Orville could be the best one yet.
