From Awards to The Orville Experience at SDCC, there is a lot of news for Fox’s hit show The Orville that dropped on Tuesday. First, The Orville received its first EMMY Award Nomination this morning for VFX. This marks the first Emmy nomination for the show.
Next up, Seth MacFarlane is bringing The Orville directly to fans with The Orville Experience at San Diego Comic-Con. Fans of the show will be immersed in the world of The Orville with an enormous display of costumes, creatures, props, and art pulled directly from the set.
Highlights include concept art, the practical model of The Orville used for filming in the series, the full crew wardrobe, as well as costumes from favorite characters and guest stars including Pria (Charlize Theron), Darulio (Rob Lowe). Also included is Bortus’ mustache, and an array of creatures including the massive alien engineer Unk.
Fans should be on the lookout for drop-ins from The Orville cast, executive producers, and members of the show’s creative team. Fans will also have the chance to score select giveaways that will be distributed throughout the weekend.
The Orville Experience is open to all – no badges required! It is located at The Carnation Building at 390 11th Avenue @ J Street, San Diego, CA 92101 (fan entrance is 1051 J Street @ 11th Avenue). It will be open Thursday – 6pm-8pm, Friday 10am-8pm, and Saturday 10am-8pm.
“After completing two seasons of The Orville and witnessing the wonderfully gratifying audience response, I decided I wanted to bring something directly to the fans this year — and there’s no better place to do it than San Diego Comic-Con. I’m so proud of the work of our creative team, who bring this show to life with all of their incredible costumes and props, make-up and practical FX that are so unique and specific to The Orville. We figured our fans would love to see all of it firsthand, so we pulled together an extensive collection directly from the set, and created The Orville Experience. We look forward to showcasing it this weekend for as many fans as possible.”
