Hulu announces The Orville’s Season 3 premiere date

Fans of The Orville can breathe a little easier as Hulu finally revealed the premiere date for the series’ long-awaited third season.

With a teaser that brings viewers back on deck, Hulu shared that the Seth MacFarlane dramedy, now dubbed The Orville: New Horizons, will debut March 10, 2022.

The Orville moved from Fox to Hulu in 2019, but the pandemic heavily disrupted plans to debut new episodes in late 2020. Fortunately, the new premiere date announcement means that fans won’t have to wait much longer.

If you’d like to revisit the show or enjoy it for the first time, you can watch the first two seasons on Hulu and listen to Quantum Drive, my podcast where we discuss every episode of the series.
