The animated series Solar Opposites returns with its third season on Hulu next month, set to bow with 11 new episodes on July 13, 2022. Ahead of the new season's premiere, Screen Rant debuted the new official trailer and key art for season 3. You can check out the new trailer and key art below.
Solar Opposites is aimed at adults and has an art style similar to Rick and Morty. It was created by Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, and Roiland also provides voices alongside Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, and Mary Mack. You can read the show's official logline below.
A family of aliens crash lands on Earth after their utopic home planet, Schlorp, is destroyed by an asteroid. While they were hoping to find an uninhabited world to repopulate, they must now learn to live among humans on our overpopulated planet and are divided on whether they love or hate their new life.
Solar Opposites Has Been a Hit for Hulu
Solar Opposites has done very well with its streaming home at Hulu, turning out to be a pretty big success for the streamer. In addition to pulling in high viewership, the series has impressed critics, garnering a 92% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Its second season fared even better with a perfect 100% score. People are clearly loving Solar Opposites and that's why Hulu has already renewed the series for a fourth season ahead of season 3's premiere.
"[With the] first season, we had been learning about the show while making it," McMahan said of the show's creative direction in a SyFy Wire interview. "We knew we were doing the Wall stuff, we were learning about the characters, we were learning about how the voice actors are playing the characters. [When it came to] season 2, we went into it and we're like, 'OK, we've done eight episodes. Now let's figure out what we can do narratively with this show. Let's amp everything up. Let's just go crazy. Let's keep the Wall going, but do a whole new style of story.'"
Teasing what's to come, McMahan added, "The Wall is kind of like The Wire, where there was always a different flavor every season. [We wanted to continue] building out the story of the Wall and we continue to do that in season 3 into a whole new direction and a really cool way. And for the Solar Opposite side of the story, for the Solars, [we never wanted to] constrained to what we thought the show was supposed to be. The Solars are so funny and big — what are stories that can get big and crazy that can only be in this show?"
"You guys [presumably other media outlets] are all like, 'Wow, season 2 is crazy.' And we're both like, 'Ooo, well Season 3 is super f***ing insane,'" McMahan also teased.
Season 3 of Solar Opposites debuts on Hulu on July 13, 2022. The first two seasons are currently streaming and season 4 does not yet have an official release date.
