The excitement was palpable at what could be the final Solar Opposites panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Fans are gearing up for the animated sci-fi series’ sixth and final season, set to premiere on October 13. Executive producers Mike McMahan and Josh Bycel assured fans that they would feel satisfied, even though many may wish for more.
“When we began writing this season, we learned it was likely going to be our last,” McMahan shared. “We started panicking, trying to convince them to let us continue. Regardless, we made sure to explore significant plot points like the Wall and the Solars, leading to some thrilling narrative arcs. We feel like this marks the end of the first book of Solar Opposites. While we wrap up several storylines, we also leave room for potential adventures.”
The panel featured a sneak peek of a season-six episode that delves deeply into the evolving family dynamics among the Solar Opposites aliens. Initially just teammates in their scientific endeavors, their relationships have evolved into something far more profound.
“This episode contains the most heartfelt moments we’ve ever created,” Bycel noted. “It culminates in an unexpected way that really emphasizes the importance of family. However, since we had multiple story arcs like the Wall and Silver Cops, we needed to expertly tie existing threads back to the Solars. Without them, those other stories wouldn’t hold the same weight.”
McMahan added, “We aimed for a balance of humor and intelligence. It’s imperative to consider everything we’ve built over the seasons. I suggest rewatching your favorite episodes, especially ’99 Ships’ from season three, before diving into the final season. Everything connects, creating a cohesive narrative throughout the series.”
There’s still time to revisit your favorite episodes or even binge the entire series ahead of its sixth season release. All 10 episodes of Solar Opposites will be available on Hulu starting October 13.
