THE ORVILLE Season Three...

They're a good ways along in production, I believe. They were in post and scoring for some episodes.
 
Filming started in October last year. Seth recently said that they have finished about 6 episodes (apparently filming several at once) and doing the editing etc. now as much as possible from home to not lose too much time.

Some fans are hoping that we might get at least half a season this year, as otherwise waiting for it all would take even longer than it already was :(
 
Trekmovie article on season 3:
https://trekmovie.com/2020/06/11/in...w-the-orville-season-3-will-be-a-barn-burner/

Highlights:
There are 11 episodes in season 3.
Only 2 directors, Seth and some other dude.
Production stopped halfway through filming and hopefully will restart soon.
Episodes will be longer and more ambitious.
they don’t see new Trek shows as competition since they are much different, but they are Star Trek fans and are excited about SNW (Pike) series.
 
Coming in September from Dark Horse Comics:

ORVILLE #1 LAUNCH DAY (PT 1 OF 2)
(W) David Goodman (A/CA) David Cabeza
When seemingly hostile Krill ships cross into Union space, the Orville intercepts. Captain Mercer learns they are en route to a planet that left the Union decades ago under mysterious circumstances. Scans have discovered a moon-sized construct above the planet, and the Krill intend a preemptive strike against the presumed weapon. But is it?

Written by The Orville executive producer David A. Goodman!

Any word on when it takes place? It looks like I see Talla on the far right, so I'm assuming it must be during or after Season 2.
 
Yeah, Amazon has it has "Season 2.5." Of course, Amazon also only has the paperback collection available for pre-order for 4-6-21, but no individual issues or Kindle editions.

And, yes, I pre-ordered. :rommie:
 
Does any TV show view any other TV show as competition anymore? Now that there are no temporal restrictions to NC when you see it, I’d think producers of similar shows love each other.

Orville makes people want Trek more and Trek makes people want Orville more.

Not so much in terms of ratings except maybe network tv. I think shows with similar themes might sort of see competition. Or like if your on Netflix then maybe you are hoping your show gets most of the buzz compared to other Netflix shows out their. Like I am sure many people are hoping on Netflix they will be the next Stranger Things. Stuff like that.

I think it matters if your show is lower budget, from a foreign market and needs the extra buzz. Case in point, Schitt's Creek was a relatively unknown Canadian show before it got sold to foreign markets, namely an American network. But that still wasn't enough, as it was rediscovered and gained a lot of popularity when it was picked up by Netflix where a lot of people found it, and meanwhile it was being promoted as a Canadian underdog and success story. Some shows simply have to be creative and see themselves as competition in a crowded genre if they want to survive.

Even if it's not as much about ratings these days, I think they could still see each other as competition for acclaim, attention, and awards.

Not Nielsen ratings, but streaming clicks.

I the days you can watch any show you want from the last few decades whenever you want I don't think there is a saturation point for most people anymore. When people finish one thing they're on to the next thing.
 
The pattern used to be that the network paid less than the production costs, but the studio got the money from overseas sales, which helped ease the deficit. But things change over time, with series being split so early episodes can enter syndication while still on air, or the network owning the studio.
