"Solar Opposites" Returns for Season Five, Bringing Family Values (and More Alien Hijinks) to Hulu
Get ready for more Shlorpian shenanigans, because Hulu has announced that the beloved animated comedy, "Solar Opposites," will be returning for a fifth season on August 12th. The news comes on the heels of the show’s renewal for a sixth season, solidifying its place as a flagship series for the streaming platform.
Season five promises to delve deeper into the fascinating dynamic of the Solar Opposites family, now that Terry and Korvo have taken the plunge into matrimony. With a focus on "family values," the show is set to explore familiar territory with a Shlorpian twist, throwing a hilarious and chaotic lens on concepts like family, relationships, and, of course, alien life.
"We can solve this with sci-fi!" is a mantra that perfectly encapsulates the show’s approach to tackling everyday challenges. With Korvo, the cynical but brilliant scientist, and Terry, the lovable but oblivious doofus, at the helm, expect unexpected solutions to complex issues, fueled by advanced technology and a healthy dose of humor.
The official synopsis for the season teases: "Now that alien mission partners Terry and Korvo are married, the whole Solar Opposites team are focused on family values." While the Shlorpians might have different ideas about what constitutes "family values," the show promises to explore these themes with their signature blend of raunchy humor and biting social commentary.
Season five will also see the return of the Wall, the captivating soap opera that unfolds within the confines of the alien home. The Wall, a microcosm of humanity’s struggles and dramas, has become an integral part of the show’s narrative, offering a unique perspective on human society from the curious eyes of the Shlorpians. Expect unexpected twists and turns in this season’s story arc, as the Wall’s inhabitants continue to navigate their tiny world.
To further add to the excitement, Hulu has confirmed that season five will also include a special Halloween episode, continuing the show’s tradition of celebrating holidays with Shlorpian-style festivities. The Halloween special will be the second such episode, following a similar success with the Christmas special and the hilarious Valentine’s Day episode earlier this year.
Fans can expect more of their favorite Shlorpians, voiced by the hilarious ensemble cast: Dan Stevens as Korvo, Thomas Middleditch as Terry, Mary Mack as Jessie, and Sean Giambrone as Yumyulack. Executive Producers Mike McMahan and Josh Bycel return to helm this season, promising a continuation of the show’s trademark witty dialogue, absurdist humor, and sharp social commentary.

The show has been celebrated for its clever writing, strong characters, and imaginative storylines.
