It will follow the adventures of the Orville, an exploratory ship in Earth&#8217;s interstellar Fleet. The series\u2019 debut has been slated for the 2017-18 television season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For almost two decades, we&#8217;ve enjoyed an incredible collaboration with our partner and friend Seth MacFarlane,&#8221; said Dana Walden and Gary Newman, chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group. &#8220;He&#8217;s one of the smartest, funniest and most talented people we&#8217;ve ever had the pleasure of working with, a great guy who&#8217;s also had such an impact on both television and popular culture. Seth has one of the most original voices\u2014in every sense of the word\u2014and we&#8217;ve been waiting for him to bring us a project as special as this one. It&#8217;s classic Seth: fresh and funny, incredibly smart, wickedly subversive and undeniably FOX.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve wanted to do something like this show ever since I was a kid, and the timing finally feels right,&#8221; said MacFarlane. &#8220;20th and FOX have been good to me for many years, and of course, Dana and Gary have been fantastic bosses and true pals, so it was a no-brainer to come to them with the project. I think this is gonna be something special.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK: FOX has commissioned 13 episodes of a new live-action dramedy created, executive produced and starring Seth MacFarlane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":291,"featured_media":6993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[186,605],"class_list":["post-6991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fox","tag-seth-macfarlane"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FOX Picks Up New Seth MacFarlane Project - TVUSA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"NEW YORK: FOX has commissioned 13 episodes of a new live-action dramedy created, executive produced and starring Seth MacFarlane.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FOX Picks Up New Seth MacFarlane Project - TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"NEW YORK: FOX has commissioned 13 episodes of a new live-action dramedy created, executive produced and starring Seth MacFarlane.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-05-05T15:03:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-05-05T15:31:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2016\/05\/SethMacFarlane.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Joel Marino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Joel Marino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/\",\"name\":\"FOX Picks Up New Seth MacFarlane Project - TVUSA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-05-05T15:03:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-05-05T15:31:12+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/b3ccbe08162f6677585ed46386169b48\"},\"description\":\"NEW YORK: FOX has commissioned 13 episodes of a new live-action dramedy created, executive produced and starring Seth MacFarlane.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-picks-up-new-seth-macfarlane-project\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"FOX Picks Up New Seth MacFarlane Project\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\",\"name\":\"TVUSA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/b3ccbe08162f6677585ed46386169b48\",\"name\":\"Joel Marino\",\"description\":\"Joel Marino is associate editor for World Screen and TV Latina.
