There are many factors that go into the decision to either renew a show, or cancel it. Some shows are cancelled in the middle of a run, but that isn't very common. As far as ratings go, season 2 currently has (as of the publishing date of this article - 12th April 2019) an average viewership of 3.27 million, while season 1 had an average viewership of 4.33 million. Although it doesn't seem like much, viewership seems to have been on the decline since the series premiere. Not all is lost, however!
The State of California has granted a tax credit to eight prime-time TV series for renewal, and The Orville is part of that deal.
"FOX confirmed to ComicBook.com that The Orville hasn't been renewed for a third season yet, but that the tax credit will apply if the series is renewed."
Do you watch The Orville? What do you think about the series? Should it be renewed for a third season? Let us know in the comments below.
