Rueben's Ramblings

On September 10, the series premiere of The Orville will air on FOX at 8 PM.

The series is set 400 years in the future, following the adventures of the U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory vessel. Its crew, both human and alien, face the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the familiar, often humorous problems of regular people in a workplace even though some of those people are from other planets, and the workplace is a faster-than-light spaceship.

The cast includes Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki (Marvels’ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Friday Night Lights), Scott Grimes (ER and Justified), Penny Johnson Jerald (Castle and 24), Halston Sage (Neighbors), Norm Macdonald (Saturday Night Live and The Middle) and Chad Coleman (The Walking Dead and The Expanse).
