Hulu releases the first few minutes of The Orville Season 3 as Seth MacFarlane announces it has been delayed until June

The Orville: New Horizons, as Season 3 will be called, has a new premiere date: June 2. “To all The Orville fans: Thanks for being so patient with us as we’ve navigated the production challenges resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” creator and star Seth MacFarlane said in a statement posted to Twitter this morning. “As occasionally happens, our show has been repositioned amidst the ever-changing television schedule landscape, which means that the wait will be just a bit longer, and we’re now preparing for a June 2nd launch on Hulu. We’ve always promised you a television experience that will make it worth the wait, and we’re not wavering on that. We understand the frustration you’re feeling over more delays, so we want to give you a little taste of what’s to come. Here’s a sneak peek at the first few minutes of our season opener, and our new main title!”
