Solar Opposites concludes after completing its six-season run.
Gear up, pals! It's time for one last hurrah. Though we knew Solar Opposites fans that a sixth season was on the horizon, today brings the shocking news that it'll be the show's swan song.
The show dropped the bombshell on their Instagram fanbase, posting a tantalizing update about their "final mission" and a mouth-watering Taco Tuesday meal.
Here's a sneak peek:
"This fall is about as specific as we've got for now in terms of a premiere date; Hulu's official statement announcing the news didn't disclose whether or not season six will feature a Solar Opposites holiday special, a tradition for the series. (Last year saw a second Halloween special; previous episodes commemorated Christmas and Valentine's Day.)
Remarkably vague plot details were also shared, hinting at financial struggles and the loss of their beloved sci-fi devices and Earthly commodities: "When the Solar Opposites family goes broke, they must learn to survive on Earth without any sci-fi devices or the massive amounts of video games, snacks, and luxury watches they're accustomed to."
A glance at the alien crew, and you'd see that "sci-fi devices" mean as much as Earth junk to them, so it's no wonder they'd be scrambling in a pinch without both.
Additionally, fans continue to anticipate the continued development of the Wall subplot, a fan-adored aspect of the series that serves as a stage for high-stakes drama: "Witness the wild chaos of this otherworldly family as they cause a storm of laughter through their shenanigans, all while the closing act of this epic tale unfolds for the captive, diminutive people they've confined in their Wall. As the Solar Opposites embark on their unforgettable farewell, expect laughter to ring out throughout the show, full of surprising twists and turns."
Conversations swirl about recurring favorites like Cherie (Christina Hendricks) and Ringo, AKA the Duke (Alfred Molina), set to reappear on our screens.
Other guest stars joining the tiny, dramatic soap opera include Tiffany Haddish (the alien ship's AI), Kieran Culkin (Glen, central figure in another subplot, the SilverCops), Ken Marino, Natalie Morales, Jerry O'Connell - fresh off his turn in Star Trek: Lower Decks, co-created by Solar Opposites co-creator Mike McMahan - and Beck Bennett.
The main cast stays the same, with Dan Stevens as Korvo, Thomas Middleditch as Terry, Mary Mack as Jesse, and Sean Giambrone as Yumyulack. Josh Bycel and Sydney Ryan executive produce alongside McMahan.
May the chaos-loving, taste-pushing, hairpin-turning crew forever reside in our memories. Though their time on Earth is limited, we can still look forward to one more season of wild antics and eye-popping twists. What are your thoughts on Solar Opposites reaching the finish line?
