Solar Opposites Season 5: Prepare for Hilarious Adventures As Producer Unveils Side-Splitting Updates

Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for Solar Opposites season 4!

Summary

The finale of season 4 of Solar Opposites brings significant alterations to the show, as the alien family finds themselves residing as humans on a fresh planet. Season 5 is currently in production and promises to offer fans amusing and exhilarating narratives that they will adore.

After a significant shift in both setting and format, it is anticipated that the Solar-Opposites will ultimately return to Earth, providing audiences with the continued hilarity of their fish-out-of-water comedy that has come to define the show. In light of the recent season finale, Sydney Ryan, the supervising producer, has shared an exciting update for the upcoming season 5 of Solar Opposites. Season 4 of this popular Hulu series witnessed the eponymous alien family's earnest attempts to lead a normal life, aiming to establish a sense of structure for the Pupa in order to avoid the disastrous evolution that nearly annihilated their world in the season 3 finale. Despite their best efforts, Solar Opposites season 4 took them on a whirlwind of sci-fi escapades, characterized by Korvo's complete voice transformation and a gigantic Goobler of kaiju proportions.

Screen Rant spoke exclusively with Sydney Ryan about Solar Opposites season 4, as the show makes its return to Hulu. When asked about the season's grand finale, where the Solar-Opposites have transformed into humans and settled on a new planet, the supervising producer hinted at significant changes to come in season 5. Additionally, an update was provided, stating that the new episodes are currently being diligently produced. Discover what Ryan shared below:

The writers consistently strive to craft season finales that bring about transformative shifts in the show, and the Season 4 finale boasts more substantial changes than ever before. While I can't disclose much about Season 5, I can confidently state that we are deeply immersed in production and have some incredibly humorous stories in store that fans will adore.

Editor's Note: This piece was crafted amidst the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and the show discussed in this article would not come to fruition without the dedicated work of the writers and actors from both unions.

What To Expect From Solar Opposites Season 5

In the thrilling finale of Solar Opposites season 4, the alien family experiences an extraordinary transformation into humans. Eager to revert to their original Shlorpian forms, they embark on a journey to an unfamiliar alien planet. Upon stumbling upon a house for sale, mirroring their earthly abode, their anticipation soars. However, their joy is short-lived as they once again become social outcasts, faced with a local resident who hurls insults, demanding the "humans" to return to Earth. In response, Korvo unleashes a scathing tirade similar to the show's opening credits, condemning the planet and its perplexing inhabitants as "stupid" and "confusing."

The new setting and format present a similar dilemma for the Solar-Opposites as seen in the Season 2 finale, where they experience death and rebirth as trees. However, both the holiday special and Season 3 quickly move away from this storyline, suggesting that the already confirmed Season 5 will not waste much time in bringing the aliens back to Earth. The show's success largely relies on the fish-out-of-water comedy, and deviating too far from this formula by having the Solar-Opposites live as humans on the new planet may not be ideal.

The premiere date for Solar Opposites Season 5 remains uncertain due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes which have halted much of Hollywood. It is unclear how much of the production has already been completed. As voice acting can be done at any time, it is possible that the new episodes are progressing with their scripted stories to facilitate the animation process. Despite the actors' strike, Season 5 was confirmed back in October and Dan Stevens was cast to replace Justin Roiland shortly before the strike began. It is plausible that the team was able to complete all necessary recordings, including improvisation from the cast, and may be able to deliver the next episodes sooner than anticipated.
