Justin Roiland’s Solar Opposites gets fourth trip around the sun at Hulu
Hulu’s Solar Opposites gets that coveted fourth season pick-up before the third season aired
It feels like the only time anyone talks about Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan’s Solar Opposites is when it gets another season. One presumes that someone (probably lots of someones) loves this show—at least enough for Hulu to green-light a fourth season before the third has even aired. Back in 2020, Variety reported that the show’s first season was Hulu’s “most-watched title.” The Roiland brand is very strong these days, indeed, but there’s not a ton of chatter about this show about pop-culture-obsessed space aliens.
Not much has changed since the last pick-up. All the leads, including Justin Roiland, Sean Giambrone, Mary Mack, and, yes, Thomas Middleditch, are returning for the fourth go around the sun. So it feels like a good time to address the Middleditch problem, which is probably what keeps people from talking about this show recently. Back in March, the L.A. Times reported numerous members of a now-defunct Hollywood goth club accused the Silicon Valley star of sexual misconduct.
