The Orville
New home. New missions.
Created by Seth MacFarlane
A warmly affectionate space adventure that balances earnest exploration and philosophical curiosity with comedy and ensemble camaraderie, rooted in nostalgia for classic sci-fi optimism.
Follow the crew of the not-so-functional exploratory ship in the Earth's interstellar fleet, 400 years in the future.
