Editors – Tom Costantino ACE and Hillary P. Wills
THE ORVILLE: NEW HORIZONS editors Tom Costantino and Hillary Wills forged their future working relationship on the bridge of The Orville itself. After not so subtly stalking Tom, who had already cut Season One, Hillary expressed her desire to join the Planetary Union as its newest assistant editor. Being the master of understatement that he is, Tom casually said to Hillary, “job’s yours if you want it”. Along with the rest of the editorial team, the pair would go on to collaborate on Season Two of the show (its last on Fox Television) and the third season for Hulu, dubbed “THE ORVILLE: NEW HORIZONS”.
Created by and starring Seth Macfarlane as series protagonist Ed Mercer, an officer in the Planetary Union’s line of exploratory space vessels in the 25th century, THE ORVILLE is set on the titular spacecraft: USS Orville (ECV-197), a mid-level exploratory vessel for the Planetary Union. The show consists of adventures encountered by the ship’s crew, usually involving planet exploration and visits to various parts of the galaxy.
