Online streamer
Hulu, which is soon to be majority-owned by the Walt Disney Company, has ordered 16 episodes of
Solar Opposites, an animated series created by
Rick & Morty co-creator
Justin Roiland and
Rick & Morty story editor/supervising producer
Mike McMahan.
20th Century Fox TV, also soon to be owned by Disney, will produce the episodes, which will be spread out over two seasons. The show is slated for a 2020 premiere.
Solar Opposites follows a family of aliens who leave their planet and settle in suburban America.
Roiland will lead the voice cast as Terry and Korvo (see character line-up below), while
Sean Giambrone voices Yumyulack and
Mary Mack is Jesse. Roiland and McMahan will do double-duty, continuing their roles on
Rick & Morty, which recently picked up an unprecedented 70-episode order from Adult Swim.
In 2015, Roiland shared development art from Solar Opposties on Twitter. It’s likely that the show has evolved its visual appearance since then, but here are some examples of what the project looked like a few years ago.
