Welcome aboard. For security reasons, we need you to pee in this cup.

MODERATORS
This community was created a long time ago, back when it was unknown if The Orville would be renewed after its purchase by Disney during the 20th Century Fox buyout. It has been posted to a few times, but has otherwise lay dormant. What's interesting is the number of the subscribers for a community that is effectively dead - I believe there are a lot of people that want it to be active. Now that The Orville has started filming it's fourth season (the first under Disney's banner), I have assumed control of this community from its long-gone creator in the hopes it can be revived.
This community is for anything related to The Orville, the people producing and starring in it, any news, discussion, or memes. Just follow instance rules and be civil. We are not opposed to Star Trek (old or new), we are allies of Trekkies and every other scifi fandom. That being said, be on the look out for clowns and try not to step in Yaphit.

If you need a source to tell you what you want to hear in the title.
These things rarely come out of nowhere so I applaud the initiative to revive the community in order to keep us informed about the show.
That seems to be what Grimes was mentioning. Though by the time I heard that news (March) it had already been updated to say that the start of filming was pushed back to April.
The Planetary Union Podcast, the show’s official podcast, also confirmed what Grimes said. That they knew Hulu had confirmed a fourth season, just not yet announced it.
Additionally, The Orville was listed on California’s list of shows that qualified for a tax credit in 2025. Why bother if there’s no new season?
A lot of little tidbits here and there, but no substantial news yet. A lot of smoke for there to not be any fire.
