The press line at tonight’s season 3 premiere event for Hulu’s series The Orville: New Horizons has been canceled in light of yesterday’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas which killed 19 children and two adults.
It’s the latest showbiz event that’s been scaled down as angry, sad and questioning sentiments are being broadly expressed across the political spectrum in the U.S.
The following message was sent to media by Hulu & The Orville Team earlier today:
In light of the tragic events in Texas yesterday, there will no longer be a press line at tonight’s premiere for The Orville: New Horizons. Our deepest sympathies are with the families affected. Thank you so much for your understanding.
The Orville: New Horizons is created, written, produced and directed (the pilot) by Seth MacFarlane, who also stars as Captain Ed Mercer. The show originated in 2017 at Fox, where its first two seasons aired and where MacFarlane also created Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show. The Orville has been on a long break and now it’s finally back with its third set to debut June 2 on Hulu.
