All About The Orville Season 3

The Disney owned show due to the surge in Coronavirus cases in Los Angeles has to halt the production of season 3 in late December 2020 which got delayed already as Hollywood shuts down due to the global emergency, where 5-6 months additional production time was there to wrap up the season.

This is Us, Black-ish, and the last man standing; Disney owned series are also put on a production halt due to the crisis.

The production delayed may not be a massive roadblock, but it is assumed that Disney may not halt production further.

The series season 3 is much-hyped that it is really disappointing to the fans that went psyched when the rumours spread that it is going be the series finale season.

The rumours were made back in August 2020 which was rebuked by the staff members. But, production delays may cause the cancellation of the show no matter how successful the show is.

There is no solid release date yet for season 3 to be released, fans are just hoping that the wait is worth it, and season 4 renewal is along the corner.
