The Orville: Norm Macdonald’s Yaphit Suits Up, Ed Quotes Star Wars in Hulu’s Full-Length Season 3 Trailer
The Orville has quite a star trek ahead of it (and offers a splash of Star Wars-ian wisdom), to look at the full-length trailer for the space adventure series’ third season.
Blasting off Thursday, June 2 on Hulu (with weekly releases), The Orville: New Horizons‘ 10-episode season finds the crew of the titular exploratory vessel continuing their mission as they navigate both the mysteries of the universe and the complexities of their own interpersonal relationships.
The cast again features series creator Seth MacFarlane (as Capt. Ed Mercer), Adrianne Palicki (Cmdr. Kelly Grayson), Penny Johnson Jerald (Dr. Claire Finn), Scott Grimes (Lt. Gordon Malloy), Peter Macon (Lt. Cmdr. Bortus), Jessica Szohr (Lt. Talla Keyali), J Lee (Lt. Cmdr. John LaMarr), Mark Jackson (Isaac) and Chad L. Coleman (Klyden), while the late Norm Macdonald will be heard again as the Gelatin lieutenant Yaphit.
New to the mix for Season 3 are Anne Winters (13 Reasons Why, Tyrant) as Ensign Charly Burke plus guest stars Eliza Taylor (The 100), Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5), the late Lisa Banes (Royal Pains, Nashville).

I’m very excited for this
Ahhh…This is the Star Trek show I’m actually looking forward to.
The Orville is a good show. I enjoy it.
This is the Trek we’ve been waiting for.
Looks like it’s one story instead of an episodic series. I definitely think that works to their advantage. Hopefully they decide to come back to the show at some point.
Star Trek Orville is back!
For the record, if this is your kind of Trek show, you should definitely also check out Strange New Worlds. It has a very similar, colorful, old-school, episodic vibe.
This looks great, which makes me a bit sad that the signs point to it being the final season. The lack of urgency and enthusiasm from the makers has been ominously palpable.
Dang, I forgot about this show. Glad it’s back.
Another show that’s taken too long between seasons lost its hype
There’s no question that I’ve been waiting…and waiting…and waiting… for the show’s return, because I’ve enjoyed it. Trek-esque, Trek-like, or Trek-lite, it superceded my expectations of just being a campy satire. It’s been funny, controversial, and meaty along the way.
My fear/wariness is that SM is already distracted and this will be a ‘one-and-done’ for him, and will fold shop and move onto other projects (Ted, smh).
…OTHO, Picard has/almost has wrapped filming…PS would be available to take over the Big Chair 😉
