I have some unfortunate news for fans of The Orville. Hulu has decided to cancel the show and will not return for a fourth season.
I am still trying to get more details on the situation but from my understanding, the intention was never to make a fourth season. However, we will still be getting the third season.
After the third season of The Orville finishes production, sets and props will be dismantled and the studio space of The Orville will be used by another Hulu show, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Even though the show is cancelled, it is still possible for fans to get a fourth season. These networks and streaming services cancel shows all the time, but series like Lucifer, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Expanse have all found their homes somewhere else. Seeing as how The Orville already moved once, it can easily do it again. But I do have to stress that at the moment, I am not aware of Hulu being in talks with any other streaming services or networks about moving the show elsewhere.
