A recent Reddit post indicates The Orville may be preparing for Season 4 production as a prop was ordered for filming this October.
The sci-fi series The Orville might soon resume production for its anticipated fourth season, as suggested by a recent post on Reddit. A co-owner of a props department, identified as JTF Consulting, revealed that they received a specialized order labeled "Orville Brad Props" for the show, intended for use in October filming. This update was first reported by ComicBook.com.
The original Reddit post shared an image of the shipping information and indicated that the prop order was sent to the Fox backlot in Century City, where previous seasons of The Orville were produced. This reinforces the credibility of the claim. Although the shop owner did not disclose specific details about what was ordered, they confirmed they hadn't signed a non-disclosure agreement, allowing for public discussion.
Fans of The Orville have waited over four years for new content following the show's third season, which aired in 2022. Previously, the gap between seasons was approximately three years, exacerbated by Disney's acquisition of Fox and Hulu. Despite the hiatus, the series has never been officially canceled, leaving its dedicated audience hopeful. Reports earlier this year hinted at a potential October production schedule in both the U.S. and Prague, stirring further excitement among fans, despite some pushback from director Jon Cassar.
The mention of "Brad" in the order's title has caught fans' attention, as it could refer to a new character or an inside joke. Some speculate it could relate to actor Scott Grimes, who played Lt. Gordon Malloy and once portrayed a character named Brad Brown in the film Critters. Regardless of its specific reference, the confirmed need for props this September could indicate heightened activity leading up to a shoot later this fall.
Development at this stage tends to be tightly controlled, but the urgency suggested by the prop order does offer compelling evidence that The Orville may be preparing for a comeback. Seth MacFarlane has previously expressed his desire to return, and with Season 4 reportedly already written, fans are cautiously optimistic about upcoming developments.
Reporting from ComicBook.com notes that although official confirmation about a shooting schedule or release date is still pending, the new information provides a glimmer of hope for fans awaiting the crew's next adventures.
While the details surrounding the actual content of Season 4 remain largely under wraps, the prop order suggests that production may finally be gearing up, marking a significant step toward the show’s return. Fans have been invested in The Orville since its inception, eager to see how the crew will face their next challenges in the galaxy.
With production seemingly imminent, the latest updates encourage viewers to engage with prior seasons and foster anticipation for what’s next. As hope builds and speculation continues, fans can stay connected to updates regarding The Orville's journey through the stars.
