About The Orville
The Orville follows Captain Mercer and the Union ship crew on standalone missions with arcs. Season 1 ran 12 episodes in late 2017 on Fox, season 2 ran 14 from late 2018 to April 2019, and New Horizons ran 10 from June to August 2022 on Hulu with longer episodes.
Production order differs slightly with Primal Urges held from season 1 to season 2, but air order is intended. Season 4 has 10 episodes written with MacFarlane citing schedule needs and no order as of September 2026. Watch seasons 1 through 3 in air order, then the season 4 slot.
Good to know
Watch in air order rather than production codes. Primal Urges works better in season 2 where it aired. Season 4 exists only as scripts with no dates or filming, so it sits last with a null year. The show sits in limbo as of September 2026, neither renewed nor cancelled, so season 3 is the current endpoint.
