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

The Orville is a satirical science fiction drama created by Seth MacFarlane and modeled after classic episodic Star Trek with a modern flair.

She’s already wrapped S2 of Ted, and clearly she likes working with Seth, so since Lysella stayed on board in the end, wouldn’t it be awesome if she became a recurring character or even a cast member?

Well the whole Anaya storyline was explicitly written to give Ed an exit, and they can't leave that one just "forgotten" they're probably gonna pick up that thread in S4.

I certainly hope they pick it up, but I don’t really see how they would expect the show to continue as successful as it is, with him no longer the captain. He’s the heart of the show.

...they've already confirmed S4 and they haven't written him out yet. wat

Oh I know it’s been confirmed. I meant pick it up as in when you said pick up that storyline where they left off. I imagine, though, that we are going to be entering the story several years after where they left off.

The Orville is quite precious, it deserves to come back and I’m absolutely thrilled it’s finally happening. We all got very crushed when we thought it was never going to happen. I’m extremely appreciative that all the people involved have such a fond experience and expectations that they’re eager to jump right back in.
