JULY 20, 2022 - “Midnight Blue,” the eighth episode of The Orville: New Horizons, premieres this Thursday on Hulu. A new trailer has dropped for the episode, and we can expect to see a familiar face on the screen.

This week, the crew of the Orville visits Heveena’s sanctuary world and embarks on a journey that may leave the entire Union more vulnerable.
