It's been a long wait, but The Orville finally returns for its third season in June, bearing the new title The Orville: New Horizons.

Creator Seth MacFarlane is back in the captain's chair as Ed Mercer. With the long gap between seasons, the jump from Fox to Hulu, the new title, and the show's episodic, at times comedic format, the third season of The Orville could have been a completely fresh start for the show. Instead, the season premiere doubles down on dealing with the fallout of the Kaylon invasion from Season Two.

ComicBook.com had the opportunity to ask MacFarlane why he and his collaborators decided to dig deeper instead of starting over.
