here we go
oh i'm excited can't wait
may the force be with you how was that perfect
is the orville season 4 going to happen now that season 3 is over you're probably asking yourself
so what happens now it's been three years and three months since seth macfarlane was
given a green light to give us a third season of the orville the wait was long
interrupted by a pandemic in production delays before finally airing on june 2nd
of this year the finale that gave us a claire and isaac wedding and what
felt like an ending to the series was only a few short weeks ago and we oddly find ourselves in
the same place we've been before it was just at this time after the season two finale of
the orville we were wearing out the carpet pacing the floors praying for a third season
growing concern over whether there would even be a third season prompted us to start the fan
movement operation orville pickle delivery where fans sent jars of pickles to the fox lot so when
deadline announced the orville was indeed renewed for a season 3 nearly a month after the show ended
the pacing stopped and the celebrating began boom [ __ ] that's what i'm talking about right there
so here we sit once again season 3 is over and we are waiting for disney to decide if the oroville
is valuable enough for a season four while it was pickles for season three this time we opted early
for a fan petition at renew the oroville.org to get disney and macfarlane's attention
fans want a fourth season but was it enough to move the needle did enough people tune in
to hulu and disney plus to watch the show and convince the mouse there is a future for one of
our favorite futuristic shows hooray my apologies sometimes i get carried away in the moment
seth wants a season four the actors want a season four the production team wants a season four and
the fans want the show to come back as well so what happens now what is happening behind the
scenes that can tell us if season 4 will happen what is the calendar of events we can expect
and how soon will we know based on what we've learned and what we are about to share with you
we believe an answer will come quickly but will it be the answer we want

okay i'm confused do you want to bang derulio bang be bang but why are you so hung up on labels man
what the current official response for a season 4 renewal comes from seth macfarlane himself
he gives season 4 a 50 50 chance right now but there are a few caveats that go with that but
let's explore them in a moment the first thing everyone needs to understand is that
the oroville's performance on hulu wasn't enough to convince executives it was worthy of a fourth
season oh my god i can't believe this how is this happening if it had been renewal news would have
been buzzing immediately instead with two episodes left to air for season 3 it was mcfarlane who
announced at san diego comic con that the oroville new horizons would be airing on disney plus
starting august 10th we'll be going up on disney plus starting august 10th and that is what we call
a fishing expedition while there is no public data on how many people were watching the
orville on hulu this is an indication that the numbers likely weren't as good as they wanted
with all three seasons on hulu there is no reason to rush the orville to disney plus
right away unless you need to test it in front of a larger audience hulu's 45.6 million subscribers
reported earlier this year dwarfs disney pluses recently reported 152 million subscribers it's a
large test market and the quick move to test the oroville there means a couple of important things
while it didn't do well on hulu disney executives think they may have an excellent product on their
hands that might keep subscribers coming back to the platform for years to come
the time for disney to make a decision is critical but we'll explore that in just a
moment so how many views is enough there's a good chance seth macfarlane isn't even sure
vulture.com recently shared a story from an fx series creator streaming on hulu he was told his
show was doing good not great then all of a sudden they said his numbers were bad and he was notified
they were canceling his show he said he was given an opportunity to see graphs but not graphs with
numbers on them he couldn't tell if they had four hundred thousand viewers or three million viewers
all he was told is it wasn't enough he will most likely fail in this attempt all kidding aside
this isn't exactly what's happening to mcfarland and the oroville but it's a reminder that the good
old days of nilsson ratings are gone and viewer numbers are as big of a secret as the colonel's
recipe if disney doesn't renew the orville it will prove they care more about numbers than quality
the 10 episodes of season 3 of the oroville were each like feature-length mini-movies and it's easy
to see mcfarlane and the entire orville production team poured their hearts and souls into the show
don't just take our words for it look at how the oroville season 3 ranks against obi-wan kenobi
both critically and with audiences and we know how much disney loves that show how about halo
over at paramount plus or wheel of time over at amazon yes both of those shows got a second season
on their platforms so where is the oroville love yeah i know awkward situation disney isn't dealing
with a fledgling show awkwardly trying to find its way no the oroville has had three strong seasons
and one could argue macfarlane is at the top of his game and you may as well be happy for me
instead of acting like a total so numbers aside as much as the orville is loved why didn't it get an
immediate renewal and why is disney in such a big hurry to test the orville on its platform to find
out if it's worth renewing it's because they're running out of time but before we tell you why
disney is running out of time with the orville let me quickly tell you why you're going to love this

attention please
you will be cited disney knows the window of opportunity to renew the oroville is going to
be small if you aren't convinced the move to put the orville on disney plus is a test then ask
yourself how many other hulu shows are on disney plus then take a look on twitter and look at how
many members of the oroville team from seth all the way down to the production crew tweeted out
to go watch the oroville on disney plus starting august 10th seth himself hinted to tv line that
disney plus could be the deciding factor for a renewal why didn't disney give hulu time to crunch
the numbers and see if people showed up to watch the show in august or september before considering
a move to disney plus yeah just write the perfect yeah sorry you were just very weirdly framed it
was all i could focus on anyway what is it you want we think it's because they can't wait if
they want to renew it the oroville was on disney plus only six days after the finale and that's
because despite all of the willingness to keep doing the orville the show already has one foot
out the door forget the fact that scott grimes said season three would most likely be the last
season of the orville back in may 2021 most likely the last season because we're kind of wrapping it
up or that adrian pollicki said season 3 would be the final season later that year in october
and it is our final season yeah i mean i i'll miss everyone right or wrong it's obvious that
conversations about season 3 being the end were happening and actors were comfortable enough to
make it public knowledge would anyone have held it against seth if he came in and killed season
3 and then rode off into the sunset it would have been a disappointment for fans but if mcfarland
killed it and the orville was fantastic he could check mark the box next to his star trek fantasy
and move on to bigger and better things could this be what seth was thinking and
why the actors were saying season 3 would be the last there is no doubt he gave season three of
the orville everything he had in him and he should be proud of it but let's not forget
that a lot has happened with seth since season three was given the green light seth locked up
a 200 million dollar five-year deal with nbc universal after sources indicated disney bowed
out of the mcfarlane sweepstakes when they heard he wanted 40 million dollars annually and wasn't
interested in doing another animated show we now return to the orville on fox nbc sweeped in
three months before the pandemic and closed the nine figure deal with disney's long time superstar
then in june 2021 amidst conversation that season three would be the final season of the oroville
mcfarland announced a new ted tv series that would be direct to streaming on peacock
i'd like to do to her something i call it dirty fuzzy seth's deal with nbc wouldn't
keep him from continuing to do the orville but with him producing writing and directing the new
ted series it wouldn't be easy to do both not to mention he is still producing american dad
yes i'm done singing family guy as well as serving as an executive producer on both the end is nigh
and a good times animated series of the 1970s sitcom for netflix it isn't that
seth can't do the orville but the question is does he have the time in his recent interview
with tv line he said it himself there's some trickiness in making another season but look
the actors are the easy part the trickier part is how do i work everything else that's going on now
i will say that i get as emotionally invested in the show as any of the fans so i will find a
way to do it if there is a season four so perhaps this is a part of the reason why disney is having
a hard time pulling the trigger remember they balked at seth's 40 million a year talent price
tag and it's not as if mcfarlane is going to want to go cheap on a season 4 after unleashing
the hounds on season 3. the mouse's quickness to test the series on disney plus could be to make
a decision before seth can add even more to his plate they will expect as much passion and drive
from him for season four as they got from season three hooray hooray for you hooray enough clyde
and then there's one other huge thing to consider the uss oroville is sitting in a huge sound stage
on the 21st century disney lot and every day they aren't committed to the orville is another day
they can't shoot something else there because the union's flagship is taking up real estate
there's also the small matter of the cast and crew no longer being under contract for the series
and looking for work doing other things if the show is planning to be renewed everyone will
need to know soon before scheduling becomes too difficult because if they strike the set that will
be the end of the orville on disney could it pop up somewhere else in a few years yes seth owns the
rights to the oroville and could take it to nbc if they wanted it but if that happens it will be
years before we see the oroville crew together and current storylines would likely be lost
no disney has a difficult decision to make here and they don't have a lot of time to make it
every new person who watches the show on disney plus is pushing us to a hopeful renewal and with
perhaps a month or two at the most to test the waters how is that looking okay group thanks to
a little help from oroville superfan john a reid and a creative ranking program over at flix patrol
we've been able to track the oroville's success since it was launched on disney plus the oroville
came out of the gate ranked eight in the disney plus top 10 streaming shows and has climbed to
as high as the fourth position on multiple days as of this video and the release of she-hulk the
oroville is ranked 6 out of 10 on the trending page the number is impressive considering mickey
mouse clubhouse and the simpsons are basically unstoppable ahead of them if the orville can
remain on the disney plus trending page over the next month or two that is going to be a great sign
for a renewal but the event you really want to pay attention to is on october 25th the saturn awards
the orville will be facing off for best streaming science fiction series against the expanse mankind
the mandalorian star trek discovery and star trek strange new worlds if the orville can come out on
top and continue to trend on the platform disney will have no choice but to give the oroville at
least one more season if not more one way or the other we should know the fate of the oroville by
halloween what oh yeah yeah totally if you love the oroville and want disney and seth to make
more of it make sure you continue tweeting hashtag renew the orville and sign the petition to renew
the oroville at renewtheorville.org now is the time for fans to be loud and visible showing how
much they love and respect the show seth wants to keep going the cast and crew want to keep
going the fans want to keep going come on disney let the orville keep exploring the 25th century
renew a show where the writing is good and the characters are loved i'd like that a lot what do
