The Orville is set on the titular spaceship, USS Orville (ECV- 197). This mid-level exploratory space vessel lies in the planetary Union. Planetary Union is the alliance of earth and many other planets in the 25th century.
The show’s plot is set 400 years in the future and follows the crew of the USS ORVILLE (the spaceship), who faces the dangers and wonders of outer space. In addition, the crew deals with familiar problems of day-to-day life and other cosmic challenges from without and within.
From what we are guessing, season 3 will delve into the fallout from Isaac’s decision in the last two episodes of Season 2. With the increasing plot twists and thrills, we are also getting that season 3 will have more episodes focusing on world-building and personality episodes, and humorous ones.
