Peter Macon and J Lee have both joined the cast of Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming new hour-long drama for Fox, “Orville” – a 13-episode straight-to-series pick-up by the network that is set 300 years in the future.
The story follows the adventures of the Orville, an exploratory ship in Earth’s interstellar fleet, with this motley crew of space explorers, facing cosmic challenges, as they boldly go where no comedic drama has gone before.
New additions Macon and Lee have joined the cast as series regulars, playing members of the ship’s crew, although no word on who exactly their characters are.
Adrianne Palicki and Scott Grimes are also members of the cast.
Macon, repped by Don Buchwald & Associates, recently appeared on Showtime’s “Shameless” and Amazon’s “Bosch.”
Lee, repped by attorney Stephen Clark of Lichter Grossman, has worked on previous MacFarlane shows like “Family Guy” and “The Cleveland Show.”
