After weeks of mixed news, some good news has come out this week for Fox’s “The Orville” series. It has earned the superlative of being both the most watched and highest rated launch series on Fox since 2015.  The Orville’s nonlinear 35-day audience, only beaten by mega-hit empire, is a whopping 2.6 million viewers.  Although The Orville did not air last week, this week it came back with a bang , racking up the highest ratings since week two’s episode.  One of the biggest pieces of news that has come out of this week is that The Orville has gotten the green light for international expansion beginning in the U.K.  The Orville is set to premiere in the U.K on December 14th, 2017.  Fox officially made the announcement on October 30th on social media and star of the show Seth McFarlane reacted with joy. Even though this is great news, there is still mixed growth in the 18-49 ratings and no official word on if the show will get a second season.
