It promises to take fans “on a hilarious R-rated journey back to the ’90s” along with more of the concept’s signature raunchy humor, eye-popping special effects and a fresh cast of characters played by Max Burkholder (“Parenthood”), Alanna Ubach (“Euphoria”), Scott Grimes (“The Orville”) and Giorgia Whigham (“13 Reasons Why”).

[Spoiler Alert: The story below reveals the winner of My Kind of Country.] Scouts Jimmie Allen, Mickey Guyton, and Orville Peck had their work cut out for them when deciding the winner of My Kind of Country. The trio of trailblazers guided talent from various parts of the globe, enlisting the help of industry heavy hitters, leading up to the finale. The finalists took the stage for one last performance at The Mulehouse in Tennessee. Among those in the audience were executive producers Reese Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves. In the end, Orville’s Micaela Kleinsmith was revealed as the inaugural winner. The South African elicited all the feels from an incredible Band Perry cover of “If I Die Young” followed by a performance of her original song “Stupid Love” that got Guyton tearing up. Kleiinsmith, who ventured all the way from Cape Town for the show, will receive $100,000 and the backing of Apple Music’s platform to take her...

"Planet of the Apes" is one of the most legendary and enduring sci-fi franchises we have. The original 1968 film that started it all, which was co-written by "The Twilight Zone" creator Rod Serling, is still regarded as one of the finest entries in the genre ever created. But a new era was launched with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in 2011, introducing us to Andy Serkis as Caesar and launching a new trilogy. Matt Reeves took over with "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "War for the Planet of the Apes," which closed Caesar's story but paved the way for a bright future. Now, that future is nearly upon us.
Next up will be director Wes Ball's "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," a continuation of the franchise under Disney, thanks to the merger with Fox in 2019. But what is this new installment going to deliver?...

In 2017, Seth MacFarlane created the sci-fi comedy-drama, "The Orville," as a homage to the original "Star Trek" and its "Next Generation" successor. Despite its appreciation for "Stark Trek," "The Orville" never shies away from parodying the source material it is so inspired by, subverting space drama tropes in the process. Season 3 of the show, titled "The Orville: New Horizons," which premiered in June this year, continues the tradition of pushing narrative boundaries and expanding a rich world filled with possibilities.
The basic premise of "The Orville" follows series protagonist Ed Mercer (MacFarlane), the captain of the USS Orville, a space exploratory vessel in the 25th century. The show delves into the adventures of the ship's crew, which include thwarting a rebellion by genetically-advanced robots and standing up to the aggressive, xenophobic Krills. While the show has been well-received by critics, talks about a potential season 4 are still unfolding, which prompted...

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for season 3 of "The Orville."
Seth MacFarlane's "The Orville" is a sci-fi spectacle that takes inspiration from "Star Trek" and other space dramas, but the core of the show is its complex characters. Season 3 of the show, which dropped on Hulu two months ago, continues the story of the USS Orville and its crew's struggles to maintain peace in the galaxy. The Kaylons attacked the ship at the end of season 2 as a part of their plan to destroy biological life-forms, but the crew members managed to survive with the help of Isaac (Mark Jackson), a Kaylon himself.
MacFarlane chose to open season 3 of the show by shifting the focus back to its characters, who are members of factions that have their own socio-political motivations. In an interview with Syfy Wire, MacFarlane explained the reason behind ending season 3 with Isaac and Dr. Claire's (Penny Johnson Jerald...

Criminal Nature, a National Parks-set procedural starring Michaela McManus and Parker Young, is not moving forward at ABC, TVLine has learned.
Hailing from Rashad Raisani (9-1-1: Lone Star), Criminal Nature was described as “a propulsive, soapy procedural set in the stunning world of National Parks,” with its story revolving around “the tangled, messy lives of the agents who work for the Isb — an elite law enforcement unit responsible for solving all serious crimes that occur in our country’s 81,000 square miles of protected land.”

The Orville‘s Season 3 mission came to a close this Thursday, with a finale that marked the space adventure series’ longest episode ever and would probably satisfy as a series finale. Or, do you want more?
The aptly titled “Future Unknown” opened with a trip to Listak Two, where Bortus and Klyden participated in a Moclan ritual that would affirm their reunion as mates. The rules, simplified: After they both strip nearly bare, Klyden flees into the forest and hides, while Bortus gives chase. Once Klyden has been caught and “taken,” their union is complete. Afterwards back on the ship,...

The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 9
When The Orville: New Horizons was introduced eight weeks ago, it appeared to be everything you’d want to see was on the horizon. It was shiny, big, bold, exciting, and most importantly: it introduced new ingredients that promised to take the show in directions it had yet to explore.
Yet it would be all for naught if the scripts didn’t bring that same revitalized energy, or take any chances in terms of the story. If New Horizons lacked vision, then this could easily be an overinflated last horizon for the show.Proving once again that the writing team had a cohesiveness that makes this third season easily the strongest, “Domino” opens ominously on the rainy planet of Krill, where Chancelor Teleya (Michaela McManus) and a Moclan delegation meet to discuss an alliance against the Planetary Union.

The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 8
When Den of Geek spoke to the creative team of The Orville: New Horizons, director Jon Cassar, and executive-producers David A. Goodman and Brannon Braga spoke of how many of the episodes in this third season felt like making small films. There is no doubt “Midnight Blue” is the ultimate example of that creative approach.
This third season has far surpassed the outreach of the previous two outings of The Orville in terms of scope, scale, and more importantly: social commentary. Only three episodes ago, in “A Tale of Two Topas”, the show dealt with an immensely important and topical issue when Topa (Imani Pullum), felt unhappy in their existence. While Topa had the support of one of her fathers, Bortus (Peter Macon), they truly only found themselves when they transitioned to female and once again claimed who she is.

This article contains spoilers for The Orville: New Horizons and Star Trek.
With a team composed of comedic writers from Seth MacFarlane’s catalog of animated shows, and Star Trek veterans such as Brannon Braga and David A. Goodman, The Orville: New Horizons has been leaning further away from the comedy, and more toward the “Trek” lately.
That isn’t meant to insinuate that The Orville is derivative, as many of the comparisons have come from the same writing team who created the idea first. However, it does seem that they’ve often used successful character dynamics, tropes, or story beats from their past writing, even perhaps improving upon them the second time. If the writers are trying to make a good thing even better, many fans would agree it has worked, with some even calling The Orville the best Trek out there right now.

It had been several years since the second season ended, it had changed networks, and even got a fresh new title. Now that we are more than half way through the season, Seth MacFarlane and his creative team have shown that those “New Horizons” mean that The Orville is clearly not finished finding itself. Season 2 was a massive shift in terms of tone and dramatic storytelling, and so far, season 3 seems to be pushing that dramatic envelope even more.
The first five episodes of the season have already dealt with heavy topics such as suicide, xenophobia, abortion, and gender identity. Yet MacFarlane always knew the true power of the show resided in the characters. “Twice in a Lifetime...

The Orville revisited the alien culture of the Moclans in season three, and it was done in quite emotional fashion.
Episode five of The Orville’s current season centered on Bortus (Peter Macon) and Klyden’s (Chad L.

Bortus supports Kelly (Adrianne Palicki) and Isaac’s (Mark Jackson) efforts to abide by Topa’s wishes, despite the rage that it causes for Klyden, who was also born female.

Sorry, The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 6, I'm still not a fan of Burke.
Not that her lost love reason for hating on Isaac was the point here, but I wanted to get that out of the way. Not buying into the play for sympathy, and the character is still all sorts of annoying.
In other news, Scott Grimes shows once again that he's so much more than a funny face as Malloy revisits his The Orville Season 2 Episode 11 love by basically living out his own Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 Episode 25, "Inner Light," plotline.
Compared to other offerings this season, there's something about the set-up for this adventure that feels more contrived than usual.

The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 5
Orville fans this season have frequently discussed how much the show has departed from its original comedic roots, and that may be half true. No longer can The Orville be considered almost parody-like in its humor and no longer do audiences get the trademark Seth MacFarlane jokes at random times. But that does not mean the show has completely forgotten where it came from. Captain Mercer (MacFarlane) has seemingly grown – he’s no longer occasionally awkward when the situation calls for diplomacy – and that character perfectly embodies the show’s growth.
Half way through its “rebirth”, The Orville: New Horizons has repeatedly shown just how “new” their approach to storytelling is going to be this season. Mercer, and indeed MacFarlane himself, seem to have evolved, and with it, this newly, more dramatic Orville has really found...
