I'd love to see Season 4 happen because Season 3 was some of the best recent space SciFi made. Certainly beats the piss out of whatever the hell Star Trek Picard Seasons 1 and 2 were....or basically all of Discovery.
At least I have Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds to look forward to.
Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!
Lower Decks has been a real breath of fresh air for Star Trek.
Given that they've started to make decent Star Trek again I kind of don't care anymore. It did a good job of demonstrating why old style Star Trek should still be popular, and I feel sort of like that was really what the point ultimately was.
The word is that he hogs the writing for the show. This is the main reason for no season 4.
Meanwhile, Disney want to show to go back to the season 1 format of a joke every minute. I'm not a fan of the painful jokes from season 1.
Production for the show was also painfully slow to the point where some of the actors were living on ramen noodles.
It's not going to happen
Season 3 stories or writing were some of the best especially the one with topa
Eh, one of the weaker episodes in my book.
It was missing a b-plot, which is a big no-no in writing Star Trek. It focusses too much on one story, instead of interweaving multiple.
The message was okay though.
Season 1 was Family Guy Star Trek. It was okay but as I kept with it, they dropped some of the humor in favor of more dramatic issues. I enjoyed the later seasons but if they circle back to season 1, then they may as well just cancel it.
That's where I'm at. I groaned at most jokes in season 1. If season 4 is like that.. Cancel it!
I think they finally got the humor/drama ratio right for Season 3, I would be really happy to get a Season 4+ if they are going to maintain that sort of approach.
Thank god! I've been a fan since it was announced way back when. For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law bought me "The World of Orville" and the physical collection of the comics, as she knew I bought the digital ones.
I very much look forward to another season!
If you read the article it's pretty clear that he is in denial of a dying project. The other actors are tired of him faffing about and are doing other projects. Even if it lives another season its not going to be good.
Yeah check this interview out

55 episodes over 5 years? The actors can be locked into a project like that, even if the show really is excellent, they have to eat too.
Also I never knew those two cast members were married breifly

Maybe they were trying to emulate a typical UK show release schedule
Great watch 🖖
And that's why it won't happen. I don't see Palicki and Lee coming back.
It's such a great series. It's a shame it wasn't popular enough to keep momentum. I hope we get another season
Supposedly a lot of the issues come from Seth demanding to be the lead writer for every single episode. It bogs down production, because one person simply can’t crank out scripts fast enough to keep up. So a lot of the actors have been stuck in contracts without actually being able to work, because they’re just waiting on the script writing to be finished.
Honestly didn't know that the show had made it past two seasons.
The third season is best. They moved away from pure Star Trek parody, into actual Star Trek, with a tiny bit of silliness sometimes.
I Loved S3, some of the best sci-fi I've watched
Yeah s3 is truly great
I disagree, someone needed to force MacFarlane to cut about 20% off of each episode in S3, they were all way too long.
I think Season 2 had the right ratio of humor to seriousness
I would be happy for a fourth season, but I didn't much appreciate the third. Better production, though, so bonus points.
Second season was pretty brilliant in its balance. Also, third season misses a lot of the banter between crew members, which I sorely missed :(
It's been a little while since I watched it, but didn't it kind of wrap up last season? I kinda just assumed they were done.
The last season had two ending episodes, one to wrap things up so the show could stop there and one to open the door to more things to come.
When the show was what Star Trek would be with real people, it was great. When they made it all about the little no-neck blonde prodigy, it became a chore to finish. It’s too far gone to come back, but please give me a new grungy Star Trek.
That's strange new worlds.
