The plot of Seth MacFarlane’s movie Ted was basically a deconstruction of your typical children’s fairy tale story: a little boy wishes for his teddy bear to come to life, and it does, and the story usually ends there. Instead, Ted takes place many years after the fact, when John and his bear have both become burnout losers in their late 30s. Cue the jokes. (I won’t be commenting on the movie’s quality or lack thereof as I’ve never seen it.)
There seems to be a competition between Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville and Stranger Things to see who can take the longest to produce a new season. Until today, Stranger Things was on track to win that race, but The Orville just pulled ahead with a freshly announced delay that will push the premiere of Season 3 three months later. It was going to finally show up March 10. Now it won’t be ready until June 2.
Today at The Orville’s SDCC panel, creator and star Seth MacFarlane dropped the bomb that the series would not run on Fox for its third season. Instead, the show will become a Hulu original. Wha? Why?
