Upon first viewing of the trailer for FOX's new Seth MacFarlane series, The Orville, it might be easy to assume this is a straight Star Trek parody. But The Orville is actually a far cry from Family Guy, much closer to being Star Trek itself than any sort of parody.
For MacFarlane, a self-professed sci-fi nerd, that homage was intentional. With the rise of dystopian science fiction over the years, MacFarlane wanted to create something that was more of a return in the style and tone to the sci-fi shows he loved from the '90s and earlier, something he thinks is missing from the current television landscape.
"What's happened is it's left open a space that has been relatively unoccupied for a while in the genre. ... For me, it's a space that's kind of waiting to be filled in this day and age when we're getting a lot of dystopian science fiction," he said at the 2017 summer TV Critics' Association press tour. "This is sort of an attempt to fill that void in that genre."
