The release date has been pushed forwards a few months, but there is a preview clip: > **[The Orville: New Horizons Has a New Sneak Peek and a New Release Date](https://gizmodo.com/orville-season-3-delayed-new-clip-1848482122)** > > Originally slated to return in March, the Seth MacFarlane sci-fi series will now make its Hulu debut in June. ---

I’m excited for it. I was dubious about the show at first and it took a bit to find its stride but I think it turned into a very enjoyable show. Happy to see it coming back. ---

Loved the show, but we don’t have Hulu. I keep hoping it will show up somewhere where we can see it. ---

I like the show, but I don’t want to pay for hulu. ---

I think this is a sinister plot to keep those of us who have Hulu from dropping it. ---

Wait till the whole season is dropped, then pay $7 for a month, then watch the whole show for $7. No one goes into movie threads and say “I don’t pay for movies” or book threads and say “I’m not willing to pay for books” but every thread about a streaming show has that. It’s not like a cable company or a gym where it’s a huge hassle to cancel - it’s the easiest thing in the world to subscribe for a month and then cancel. Anyway I’ve been looking forward to this but it’s been a huge wait. I really thought the show started to hit its stride and become legitimately good and not just sort of goofy fun towards the middle of the second season. It feels like a modernized TNG, which is exactly what they were going for, and I thought some of the episodes examining an issue actually did a surprisingly thoughtful job about it, particularly the one about the recreation of the long dead person from her digital records. It’s from about the mid-second season onwards, it’s legitimately a better Star Trek show than any of the Treks made recently. ---

Saw that it will also be on Disney+, but unless I am wrong only internationally (where Hulu is not available) Brian ---

I loved the first episode! It’s so bright and colorful and the soundtrack was great (although a bit loud at times). It was a little more dramatic than earlier seasons which I think is good. Anything else I say would be a spoiler and I still can’t remember how to make those tags. 🙂 ---

Just started watching Season 3, and it’s a bit confusing, because I’m sure I’ve seen the episode before. It starts with Peter Griffin and Steve Smith retrieving a replicator from an old outpost, escaping from some murderous Datas, and then encountering Peter’s ex-wife from a timeline where they didn’t get married. Was that originally a preview that I saw at the end of Season 2? ETA: I hope that wasn’t too spoiler-y. ---
