Solar Opposites

Solar Opposites is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan for Hulu. Originally created for the Fox Broadcasting Company, the project was shelved before being bought by Hulu and given a two-season order consisting of 8 episodes each. The series premiered on May 8, 2020. In June 2021, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on August 14, 2023. In October 2022, the series was renewed for a fifth season. Premise Solar Opposites centers around Terry, Korvo, Jesse, and Yumyulack — a family of aliens who crash land on Earth and are forced to stay there, often disagreeing on whether this is a good thing. The family comes from Planet Shlorp, an advanced alien world that sent out one hundred ships to colonize new planets shortly before its destruction. The show features parallel storylines, the most prominent of which follows a society of humans shrunk by the replicant Yumyulack and imprisoned in a terrarium known as "the Wall". Starting in the third season, another storyline follows a group of intergalactic corrupt police officers, known as the SilverCops, that routinely arrest and brutalize Shlorpians fleeing from the destruction of their homeworlds. Cast Main characters Justin Roiland (seasons 1–3) and Dan Stevens (season 4–present) as : an intelligent alien scientist who hates Earth and wants to leave as soon as possible. He is the designated leader of their mission to find a new world, and later became Terry’s boyfriend. Thomas Middleditch as : Korvo's evacuation partner and later boyfriend, and the pupa specialist who enjoys being on Earth and is fascinated with human culture. Sean Giambrone as : Korvo's replicant/son who is a self-proclaimed scientist and bounty hunter. He shrinks adults who are mean and puts them inside his terrarium, "the Wall". In the fourth season, Yumyulack legally changes his Earth-name to "Baxter Cool". Mary Mack as : Terry's replicant/daughter who is generally kind and wants to fit into human society. Sagan McMahan as : An infant, color-changing alien who will one day evolve into its true form and terraform the Earth into a copy of the Shlorp homeworld for the Shlorp ruling class, using the data stored in its DNA.
