There’s still no sign of The Orville re-entering production for its interrupted third season, the first to be produced for Hulu.

During an Instagram Q&A Seth MacFarlane confirmed that “We will be back soon, folks… There has been a lot of speculation online: Will the show come back? The show is still a huge priority for me and for the cast and everyone else. We do have a season to finish, and we are going to finish it.” However, there are issues during the COVID-19 pandemic: “For a show with a lot of prosthetic makeup that requires close contact, a lot of background artists… it’s a big job, and you want to make sure you do it in a way that keeps everyone safe and secure.”

Jessica Szohr’s Q&A can be seen below, with MacFarlane chiming in around the 12 minute mark.
