Following the exploits of the titular ship's crew, led by Seth MacFarlane's Captain Ed Mercer, as they explore distant worlds in the 25th Century with a heaping of humanistic mishaps along the way. While it received negative reviews from the mainstream critics, The Orville has found a loyal fanbase who have fuelled its expansion into two more seasons.

Pixomondo were mainly in charge of the show's special effects and they create another stunning visualisation of the future world.

The same enthusiasm carried through into the space battles which were handled by another set of studios including Tippet Studio, Eight VFX and Stargate Studios.
