Nearly two years after the third season of The Orville, fans are eagerly awaiting news about the fourth season. The sci-fi comedy series, created by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, follows the adventures of the crew of the USS Orville. MacFarlane stars as Captain Ed Mercer, and the cast includes Penny Johnson Jerald, Adrianne Palicki, and Scott Grimes. As of May 2024, Hulu has not yet renewed The Orville for a fourth season. However, MacFarlane has indicated that he’s not done with the show yet. Palicki, who plays Commander Kelly Grayson, has said that she’s not sure if The Orville has been canceled, but she added that she’s not planning to return for a fourth season. Given her character’s importance to the series, it would definitely be a different show without her.
