Nevertheless, the tax credit is a very good sign that Fox might not want to cut The Orville short after just two seasons.
The network has good reason to believe in Seth MacFarlane’s comedic talents, and it’s no coincidence that both the first and second season premieres scored prime slots behind big NFL games.
The show already got a sizable tax credit for Season 2, according to Deadline, with the number hitting $14.5 million.
Fox has been supportive of The Orville, which isn’t all that surprising.
