With L’Orville: new horizons go strong on Hulu, ea world prequel originated in the functions of you Moving on to Peacock (among other projects), Seth MacFarlane has moved considerably away from his old Fox home, with the exception of his hardcore animated comedy work. family man. After leaving his general deal with the network in 2020, MacFarlane signed a new deal with NBCUniversal, but obviously also maintained a relationship with Fox’s parent company Disney for the duration. the vast production of orville the third season of . And given how outspoken and opinionated the multi-screenplay artist has been in the past, it shouldn’t surprise anyone with views on how the work for Fox and Disney compares and contrasts.
As part of the 13th edition Produced by conference (via Term ), Seth MacFarlane spoke very candidly about how things are going with Fox and Disney, although he refrained from utterly reprehensible blasphemy or by switching to roasting mode (such as he did it during orville first event of season 3 ). Instead, he offered a more authentic explanation of how he felt about the two companies.
What Seth MacFarlane said about working with Fox
Although Seth MacFarlane has consistently criticized Fox for 23 years, sometimes through his own animated series, things have gotten tense in recent years thanks to the creator’s views on Fox News and the increased reliance on the cable channel itself in opinions. . programming. Here’s how he explained things for the first time:
It is an incredibly complicated relationship that I have with this company. There are people with whom I have excellent personal relationships. There are people I really like. But it’s a different business than when I started. It is very difficult for me to exactly balance my relationship with this company right now. Like many people, I have many problems and many objections to their practices. Sure, the news division and the entertainment division operate relatively independently of each other, and that’s something that has helped many of us sleep a little better.
The separation of Fox News and other parts of the Fox brand has been an interesting and confusing topic in recent years, especially where those worlds still intertwine, such as when Donald Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani, appeared as a competitor in the masked singerwho in particular, it prompted Ken Jeong to leave the studio at the time of unmasking. Referring to this example as “distressing,” MacFarlane credited the network for allowing it family man, the Cleveland show Yes American father (while still at Fox) to tell their stories without censorship or political advice from above. In his words:
I talk a lot about Fox, but I have to say that in the whole time I was there no one tried to politically censor the show. There is a laissez-faire attitude that has worked very well for us … I have never been censored and never pressured to project a different political perspective.
Seth MacFarlane also shared that he thinks there is a legitimate need for a “rational” conservative media, which he believes Fox News started before going to “a radically different place”.
What Seth MacFarlane said about his work with Disney
On the other hand, Seth MacFarlane has had almost entirely positive and flattering things to say about his working relationship with Disney, both through Fox and through Hulu with orville. Without getting too specific about anything overtly partisan, she shared his thoughts on the company’s perspective and how it was creatively for him.
Society as a whole has been, for the most part, admirable, not always, but for the most part. They try to be culturally aware. They try to be ethically responsible. And creatively, my relationship with them has been fantastic. . . . [Bringing The Orville to Hulu was] one of the best creative experiences of my career and the support I have received from Disney and Hulu to give us the resources to do it and compete with some of the most visually ambitious TV shows has been truly rewarding. Cannot say enough good things. I really enjoyed it there.
If your alarm bell just rang, you are probably not alone, as Seth MacFarlane’s use of the past implies that he won’t be back for season 4 , which has already been the subject of speculation, given the daunting and expensive amount of production that has gone through all of COVID. Not to mention everything that has happened in his career. Mais MacFarlane donne l’impression que Powers That Be était parfaitement disposé à fournir tout ce qu’il fallait pour donner vie à la saison 3, il est donc toujours possible que le spectacle continue, à condition qu’il génère un énorme public Hulu, Certain.
Seth MacFarlane also shared a few kind words about his longtime relationship with Dana Walden, a former Fox TV executive who is currently president of Disney’s general entertainment content. Here’s how she said it:
It was great. She is a great friend and an excellent executive, and it is a pleasure to work for her. She is one of those people you can follow in the industry, to work on again and again.
Although it is unclear whether the family man the star will continue to work with Dana Walden and other Disney and Hulu executives once L’Orville: new horizons has finished its season, fans can be sure that we will have more news about it by the end of the summer.
