The aliens are here to stay—for at least a little while longer. Ahead of its fifth season premiere, Solar Opposites has been renewed for a sixth season. New star Dan Stevens (Legion, Downton Abbey) announced the renewal in a video at San Diego Comic Con during a panel that also featured a new trailer for season five (below).
Here’s the fifth season’s synopsis:
Solar Opposites centers around a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo (Dan Stevens) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love TV, junk food and fun stuff. On season five, now that alien mission partners Terry and Korvo are married, the whole Solar Opposites team are focused on family values.
Come for the honeymoon phrase, stay for the jokes about children raised on Euphoria and meta commentary about quirky new characters? Solar Opposites was created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, but Roiland is no longer part of the series. It’s now executive produced by McMahan and Josh Bycel, who has worked on it since the beginning.
All eleven episodes of Solar Opposites’s fifth season arrive on Hulu on August 12th; a Halloween special will premiere later this year.
