Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville has a new home ahead of its forthcoming third season. News that the series will be available exclusively on the streaming service as a Hulu Original was confirmed by Deadline. 

Following the announcement of the move, MacFarlane said, “The Orville has been a labor of love for me, and there are two companies which have supported that vision in a big way: 20th Century Fox Television, where I’ve had a deal since the start of my career, and Fox Broadcasting Company, now Fox Entertainment, which has been my broadcast home for over 20 years.”

He continued: “My friends at the network understood what I was trying to do with this series, and they’ve done a spectacular job of marketing, launching and programming it for these past two seasons. But as the show has evolved and become more ambitious production-wise, I determined that I would not be able to deliver episodes until 2020, which would be challenging for the network. So we began to discuss how best to support the third season in a way that worked for the show. It’s exactly this kind of willingness to accommodate a show’s creative needs that’s made me want to stick around for so long. I am hugely indebted to Charlie Collier and Fox Entertainment for their generosity and look forward to developing future projects there. And to my new friends at Hulu, I look forward to our new partnership exploring the galaxy together.” 

The Orville is set 400 years in the future and follows The U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory spaceship and its both human and alien crew.

Seth MacFarlane and Sienna Miller are the latest to join the series about Fox News founder Ailes. They join the previously announced Russel Crowe who will star in the lead role as Ailes himself and Naomi Watts who will star as Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox News anchor who sued Ailes in 2016.

MacFarlane will play Ailes’ confidante Brian Lewis, the Fox News’ public relations chief of more than 17 years who “spent his career promoting and protecting Ailes until the media machine turned against Lewis and ended his career,” according to Showtime. Sienna Miller will star as Ailes’ ex-wife Elizabeth “Beth” Ailes. The limited series also tapped Simon McBurney as Rupert Murdoch and Annabelle Wallis as a Fox News staffer.

“Very excited to be part of this series – loved the book, and it’s nice to get off the spaceship now and then,” MacFarlane tweeted on Saturday. 

The still-untitled project is based on the Gabriel Sherman book The Loudest Voice in the Room. 

Kari Skogland (The Handmaid’s Tale) will direct the first two episodes of the series.
