Well, it’s about time:

‘The Orville’ Renewed For Season 3 By Fox

My first thought was that “at least it will last as long as the original Star Trek.” but then I remembered that Star Trek was shot in the days when a season had more than 20 episodes, rather than the dozen or so that seem to be the standard today. The Orville has had 26 episodes total in the first two seasons, while Star Trek had 80. To get to 80 episodes, The Orville will need to be around for more than six seasons… or Fox will have to start bumping up the number of episodes per season. Preferably, both.
