Summary

• Solar Opposites season 5 is confirmed and in production, despite the firing of co-creator Justin Roiland.
• The fourth season introduced changes to the premise, potentially leading to more side stories and a different environment in season 5.
• The new season will continue to focus on the family but may also explore the stories of The Wall and the family's new home planet. Dan Stevens will return as Korvo, and other main cast members are expected to reprise their roles.

Solar Opposites season 5 news is starting to arrive since the fourth season hit Hulu and left fans wondering what could happen next after the surprise ending. Lampooning the classic sitcom format, the animated hit follows a family of aliens who must seek refuge in middle America and find that they clash with Earth culture. Proving to be a success from the outset, the zany cartoon humor drew in fans of shows like Rick and Morty, but Solar Opposites blazes it own humorous trail as well.

However, fans might be wondering what the Solar Opposites season 5 story could possibly be about. The fourth season ended with an event that made it look like the entire series was finished, and the story was over. However, while that is how it looked, the show is coming back and Korvo and his family will remain a part of the story. The fourth season changed the premise of Solar Opposites, and that could lead to more changes in Solar Opposites season 5, including giving more screen time to side stories like The Wall and seeing the family in an entirely different environment.

Most Recent Solar Opposites Season 5 News

The most recent news comes in the form of a Solar Opposites season 5 update several months after the conclusion of the Hollywood strikes. Showrunners Mike McMahon and Josh Bycel spoke about the progress being made toward the fifth season, and everything the creative duo has revealed is a positive step. "We don't have a release date yet, but we are plugging along" said McMahon, suggesting a release date could come soon. The pair also revealed that season 5 will premiere all at once, as opposed to being stretched out over weeks.

The Solar Opposites Valentine's Day special premiered on Hulu on February 5th, 2024.

Solar Opposites Season 5 Is Confirmed

While there were plenty of obstacles in the way of Solar Opposites season 4, including co-creator Justin Roiland's termination, Solar Opposites season 5 has already been confirmed. This confirmation happened long before Roiland ended up getting fired, but Hulu seems happy with the show. On top of that, supervising producer Sydney Ryan said that they are already "deep in production" on that next season.

Solar Opposites Season 5 Cast

The biggest change to the Solar Opposites season 4 cast was Dan Stevens (Legion) replacing Justin Roiland as Korvo. He will stick around for Solar Opposites season 5 along with the rest of the main cast. Stevens will be joined by stalwart cast member Thomas Middleditch as Terry and Sean Giambrone as Yumyulack.

Solar Opposites Season 5 Story

There are no clues about what the Solar Opposites season 5 story could look like. That is because Solar Opposites season 4 ended on what seemed to be a conclusive note. The big reveal at the end of the fourth season saw the Solar Opposites become human, and they mostly gave up on their desire to leave Earth. They even decided to forget about their original mission. However, they left Earth and took residence on a new planet, putting Earth behind them.

Though The Wall became a major fixture in season 4, season 5 will still most likely focus on the original family since producer Sydney Ryan confirmed they would be back. This could also play into the role of the Silvercops, who got a lot more screen time in season 4 as well. With the Silvercops and The Wall, there is a lot of fun to mine, but eventually. Solar Opposites season 5 will see the return of Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, Jesse, and Pupa.
