Final Season Announcement: Solar Opposites Set to Conclude with Season Six
Attention, Solar Opposites fans: buckle up for one last adventure! Everyone already knew that a sixth season of the beloved Hulu animated series was on the horizon, but it’s now official that this season will mark the show’s final offering.
The show made the announcement through an Instagram post, revealing its “final mission” alongside a delightful Taco Tuesday feast to excite fans.
When Does Season Six Premiere?
The premiere date is tentatively set for “this fall”; however, Hulu has not confirmed whether season six will include a traditional Solar Opposites holiday special, which fans have come to adore. Last year featured a thrilling Halloween episode, while previous seasons celebrated Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Plot Insights for Season Six
While specific details remain under wraps, a brief plot description hints at a challenging season ahead: “When the Solar Opposites family goes broke, they must learn to survive on Earth without any of their sci-fi devices or the massive amounts of video games, snacks, and luxury watches they’re accustomed to.”
For avid fans, it’s clear that “sci-fi devices” are just about as valuable to the characters as the frivolous Earth items, ensuring that losing both will lead to a comical crisis.
Exploring the Wall Plotline
The new season will also revisit the infamous Wall subplot, which has captivated audiences with its high-stakes drama involving tiny citizens living around the Solar Opposites’ household—brought there using an alien shrink ray. Expect laugh-out-loud moments as this unhinged alien family embarks on hilarious mischief, all while the dramatic tale of the shrunken people they’ve captured unfolds. As the Solar Opposites navigate their final chapter, viewers can anticipate unexpected surprises!
Guest Stars Bringing Extra Flavor
This season’s guest star list includes fan-favorites from the Wall saga, such as Cherie (voiced by Christina Hendricks) and Ringo, aka the Duke (voiced by Alfred Molina). Other notable guest appearances will feature Tiffany Haddish as the alien ship’s AI, newly minted Oscar winner Kieran Culkin as Glen, and alumni from various shows like Ken Marino, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell (fresh from Star Trek: Lower Decks), and Beck Bennett.
Meet the Main Cast
The core cast remains unchanged, featuring Dan Stevens as Korvo, Thomas Middleditch as Terry, Mary Mack as Jesse, and Sean Giambrone as Yumyulack. Executive producers include Josh Bycel, Sydney Ryan, and co-creator Mike McMahan.
