JUNE 15, 2022 - Are you ready to “Get your existential rocks off”?

“Mortality Paradox”, the third episode of Star Trek homage The Orville: New Horizons, debuts Thursday, June 16th on Hulu. An episode trailer was recently released on the Hulu YouTube channel.

The next episode in the beloved series brings us back to the Kaylon, a highly intelligent, artificially intelligent species who don’t much care for the organic beings roaming the galaxy. There is no doubt that Orville crewmember Isaac (played by Mark Jackson) will once again be caught in the middle of a conflict the Planetary Union just can’t seem to end.

In the trailer, we see the crew of the Orville land on a yet-unknown planet. As the crew explores the surface, they encounter a room filled with bronze colored pods, reminiscent of the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “Hatchery”. Later in the video, the crew of the Orville squares off against several Kaylon ships. Who knows where the drama will lead?

The season is young! Be sure to check out the full season trailer for The Orville: New Horizons. “Mortality Paradox” will be available to stream beginning June 16th only on Hulu. The first two episodes are available to stream now.
