The season begins as a comedic portrayal of a workplace, but it is certain to eventually transition into a series of sci-fi escapades and a conflict within The Wall.
Having already plotted season 5, the show’s future is poised to delve into fresh storylines and casting choices.
Screen Rant is excited to share an exclusive clip from Solar Opposites season 4, where Korvo aims to avoid a disaster like the one caused by Pupsa. Co-created by Mike McMahan, the popular Hulu show follows a family of aliens who must adapt to life on Earth after their home planet is destroyed. With its innovative storytelling and hilarious comedy, Solar Opposites has received praise from both critics and fans, resulting in holiday specials and a renewal for season 5. Get a sneak peek of the upcoming season on Hulu with this exclusive clip.
How Season 4 Sets A New Path For The Solar Opposites
The video, shown above, depicts Korvo, who is now voiced by Dan Stevens, preparing lunches for Yumyulack and Jessie before they leave for school, all while keeping an eye on the Pupa. Although the younger aliens have a problem with the lunch choices and Korvo modifying Jessie's solar system project by removing hidden planets, they all agree it's in their best interest to avoid another chaotic season with the Pupa.Solar Opposites season 4 faces a unique challenge, as it tries to overcome the controversy surrounding the replacement of its creator, Roiland, who was fired due to his domestic battery arrest. In contrast to Rick and Morty season 7, which is searching for a voice actor similar to its eccentric mad scientist and insecure grandson, Solar Opposites took a different approach. They cast Dan Stevens from Legion, showcasing in a trailer that his voice has changed due to an alien device, while Terry, played by Thomas Middleditch, has no desire to revert back to the original voice.
Even without a complete overhaul, Solar Opposites season 4 was positioned to chart a fresh course for the Hulu series. In the season 3 finale, the titular alien family made a vow to leave their sci-fi mischief behind and prioritize a normal life for the Pupa. Throughout the preceding season, this small creature had transformed into a rebellious teenager, wreaking havoc on the town in a manner reminiscent of Stephen King's Mist. McMahan had previously hinted that season 4 would pivot into a workplace comedy, a shift exemplified in the exclusive clip above.
However, as evidenced by the Solar Opposites season 4 trailer unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, this initial setup is bound to unravel over subsequent episodes, particularly as the war rages on within The Wall. With season 5 already in progress and a new narrative and casting direction on the horizon, it will be intriguing to witness how the family's evolving dynamics lay the groundwork for the show's future.
