At the recent TCA winter press event, FOX confirmed that The Orville, which was renewed back in November last year, would return later than expected but with more than Season 1’s 12 episodes.

Seth MacFarlane, who executive producers as well as co-stars alongside SHIELD’s Adrianne Palicki confirmed that there would be at least 14 episodes, saying, “I’d rather do fewer episodes and have them be better content-wise than do 22 and have them be filler.”

Season 2 is now expected to air in the fall of 2018.
