Watch A Preview For Episode Two Of The Orville Season Two

Resisting Primal Urges

The Orville began its second season last week and here’s a promo for its second episode from TV Promos…

Ed and the crew race to save a small group of survivors on a planet about to be destroyed by its sun. Meanwhile, Bortus and Klyden start marriage counselling when Bortus’ obsession with the ship’s simulation room gets out of hand in the all-new “Primal Urges” time period premiere episode of The Orville airing tonight Thursday, 3 January on FOX.

Down on his luck after a bitter divorce, Planetary Union officer Ed Mercer finally gets his chance to command his own ship. Determined to prove his worth and start a new chapter, Ed discovers the first wrinkle in his plan when the First Officer assigned to his ship is his ex-wife, Kelly Grayson. As the new commander, Ed assembles a qualified — but eccentric — crew, including his best friend, Gordon, who has problems with authority but is the best helmsman in the fleet; Dr. Claire Finn; Bortus, an alien from a single-sex species; Isaac, an artificial life-form from a machine society; navigator John Lamarr; Alara Kitan, a young, inexperienced security officer; and Yaphit, a gelatinous creature.
