10 Things to Know About "The Orville"2 of 10
2. You Never Know Who Will Show Up
Having his own sci-fi show is a dream come true for ultimate "Star Trek" fan Seth MacFarlane. But don't expect a William Shatner cameo anytime soon in a repeat of the 2013 Oscars.
"Obviously, I love him," MacFarlane says of the original James T. Kirk, "but no plans to have him on." As for the guests we can expect? "I always like that to be a surprise. We do pepper the show with a fair number of guest stars," he says.
We can also expect plenty of Krill. "They are our primary villain. There is an element to the Krill that I think is sort of untried in a show of this type," MacFarlane says. "In Episode 6, we find out something about them that makes them their own brand new thing. It's a type of villain [the audience hasn't] seen before."
MacFarlane also teased an "unlikely relationship between two of the main characters in Episode 8."
