I'm guessing it will eventually become available for purchase on Amazon Video since Handmaid's Tale is up there. I'll probably just wait and get it there since it doesn't look like they've put The Orville out on Blu-ray so far.

I have Amazon Prime and NF, and those 2 cover just about everything I'm interested in.
I'm sure there are other pay services with good, original programming that might interest me, but I really can't keep up with what I have right now...

Uh-oh...

That is going to be an awkward set now....

I guess sometimes actors get caught up in the heat of passion and later think they're soul mates.

yeah that's going to be a really awkward set now. Riverdale also has a similar breakup with it's 2 lead stars that was just announced today as well.

I never finished the 1st season of The Orville. Just too many shows to keep up with. I think I finished 6 or 7 episodes. With this extended layoff, I think it might be feasible for me to catch up, especially since both seasons are so short.

Regarding the move from FOX to Hulu. I know some people are probably upset that it's going from "Free" TV to a paid streaming service, but creatively it's probably in the show's best interest. I know MacFarlane likes to be somewhat edgy with his shows and this way he isn't restricted by network TV censors and won't have to worry about the shitty Nielsen ratings anymore.

No doubt.

While watching S2, I had a distinct feeling SM just gave up on the whole deal.
It seemed so uninspired and lacking in spirit.

Noonan

They're...already getting divorced? How the fuck does that even happen in the span of less than 2 months. What could she have possibly learned that she didn't already know?

mwbmis

I guess they could just disappear another character like they did when Seth and Halston Sage broke up.

B5Erik

I thought just the opposite. I thought the show got better, and it was already really good.

melasnus

Don't know...because it's so quick, most likely she is the one pushing for it.

DWilson

Fair of not, the minute I heard she filed, I thought "I wonder what he did..."

PhantomStranger

My first reaction to the divorce news? The relationship and marriage was a publicity sham from the beginning, cooked up by the actors and/or the actors' PR reps to help the Orville's exposure. Now that the show is going to a streaming outlet, its future looks tenuous at best and upside earnings potential is greatly limited for the leads.

Adrianne Palicki is quickly aging out of network lead roles and this show may very well be her last lead gig. That could have been worth millions in the bank if the Orville had remained on Fox and developed a real fan base. People have gotten married for far less.

TGM

^ that's insane.

Cellar Door

Certifiably.

PhantomStranger

You don't know much about Hollywood and its publicity machine if you believe half of what you read about the personal lives of its stars. A certain percentage of showmances are fabricated to generate attention, which makes convenient fodder for social media and the tabloids. This is an industry that pretended for years that Rock Hudson was a straight man.

Deftones

I can name probably like 5 different shows off the top of my head right now, that I don't even watch because I am not the target demographic, that have women as the lead role. Sure, women do age out of movies more, but in TV, many of them can keep working forever. Your theory is batshit insane.

TGM

Adrianne Palicki at any age is a better draw if single rather than married for sci-fi loving virgin nerds living in basements

Giantrobo

Maybe, but not... "DISCOVERY Good".

Giantrobo

I was already watching it on Hulu so cool.

B5Erik

You're right. It's not as good as Discovery. The Orville is better than Discovery.

Deftones

No S3 thread so it goes here....

@SethMacFarlane: And as of today, @TheOrville is back in production!
