ADRIANNE PALICKI Explains Why THE ORVILLE Only Filmed 36 Episodes in 6 Years: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zklxb1PXFHM

And that's why it won't happen. I don't see Palicki and Lee coming back.

Great watch 🖖

Maybe they were trying to emulate a typical UK show release schedule

When the show was what Star Trek would be with real people, it was great. When they made it all about the little no-neck blonde prodigy, it became a chore to finish. It’s too far gone to come back, but please give me a new grungy Star Trek.

That's strange new worlds.

The word is that he hogs the writing for the show. This is the main reason for no season 4.

Meanwhile, Disney want to show to go back to the season 1 format of a joke every minute. I'm not a fan of the painful jokes from season 1.

Production for the show was also painfully slow to the point where some of the actors were living on ramen noodles.

It's not going to happen

Season 1 was Family Guy Star Trek. It was okay but as I kept with it, they dropped some of the humor in favor of more dramatic issues. I enjoyed the later seasons but if they circle back to season 1, then they may as well just cancel it.

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That's where I'm at. I groaned at most jokes in season 1. If season 4 is like that.. Cancel it!

Thank god! I've been a fan since it was announced way back when. For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law bought me "The World of Orville" and the physical collection of the comics, as she knew I bought the digital ones.

I very much look forward to another season!

If you read the article it's pretty clear that he is in denial of a dying project. The other actors are tired of him faffing about and are doing other projects. Even if it lives another season its not going to be good.

Serious question: what is “faffing about?”
