Adrianne Palicki joins Seth MacFarlane’s live-action space comedy

July 31, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Adrianne Palicki is heading into space, with Deadline reporting that the actress has joined the cast of Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming live-action sci-fi comedy drama series at Fox, along with American Dad veteran Scott Grimes.

The as-yet-untitled show will take place in the 24th century and “chronicles the exploits of the Orville, a ‘not-so-top-of-the-line’ ship in Earth’s interstellar Fleet.” MacFarlane is set to play Ed, the Captain of the Orville, with Palicki playing Kelly Grayson, Ed’s ex-wife and the ship’s First Officer, and Grimes as Gordon, the Orville’s pilot and Ed’s best friend.

The new show is slated to hit Fox in 2017.
