Months after reports that Seth MacFarlane completed the script for The Orville Season 4, we now have rumors that production on the season is set to kick off in the fall. Amidst chatter that we may see the sci-fi series finally start filming as the 2026 TV schedule plays out, series director Jon Cassar had to refute them. News surfaced recently from Moviedelic that The Orville Season 4 was about to start splitting time between filming in Los Angeles and Prague in October, which was some big news to break. In the meantime, Seth MacFarlane remains one of the busier creatives in Hollywood. Before any of that happens, however, we need some solid confirmation that filming is going to happen, and that this series will actually return.
