The epic space adventure series will also continue to stream on Hulu. Set 400 years in the future, the series follows the adventures of The Orville, a mid-level exploratory spaceship. Its crew, both human and alien, face the wonders and dangers of outer space. In the new, third season, the crew of the U.S.S.

HGTV has ordered a new six-episode season of popular series Ugliest House in America, starring actress, comedian and self-proclaimed home renovation enthusiast, Retta. The series, which attracted more than 16 million viewers to its freshman run and premiered its second season on Sunday, July 24, will follow Retta on an expanded tour of five U.S. regions. Each episode will capture her entertaining walkthroughs and LOL commentary on unsightly properties nominated by homeowners who believe their place is one of the worst in the country. Ultimately, the "ugliest house" will get a stunning $150,000 renovation by HGTV star Alison Victoria. Season three is slated to premiere in early 2023.
