FOX has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming second season of its sci-fi dramedy series The Orville which returns on Sunday, December 30th.
While initially starting out as a Star Trek rip-off with fart jokes, Seth MacFarlane’s series found itself as the first season went on as the humor took a backseat the sci-fi adventure happening in the series.
Star Trek veterans Robert Picardo and Marina Sirtis will guest star during the upcoming season, while Jonathan Frakes will direct an episode of the series.
The show will have a Thursday night timeslot following its New Year premiere.
