The Orville has grown tremendously across its first 3 seasons, developing from a throwaway Star Trek parody to one of the most outstanding science fiction shows on television in a long while. And all during a big network change to boot.
The show got back to screens in 2022 after a few uncertainties because of the Covid pandemic and changing TV schedules. Renamed The Orville: New Horizons, the show that began with the comedy is slowly aiming to become a more mature and politically astute show than the last seasons.
In any case for viewers and show creatives, the future of The Orville is currently in doubt. At this point, there are no future episodes in advancement as every one of the three seasons of The Orville released on Disney+ later in August 2022.

The Orville Season 4 plot
The Orville made an agreement with their Borg-like Kaylon foes in season 3’s penultimate episode, so the Kaylons will be the Union’s supporters in The Orville season 4. The main twist for any future time of The Orville would likely be the Krill/Moclan alliance, which is roughly The Orville’sversions of Star Trek’s Cardassians and Klingons. After agreeable changes with the Krillbroke down with the decision of an extremist candidate and the Moclan’s deportation from the Union for their discrimination, the two races teamed up together.
