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 acquired by Hulu. The series premiered on May 8, 2020, and concluded on October 13, 2025, after six seasons consisting of 63 episodes.

Solar Opposites centers around Korvo, Terry, 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 — each carrying 2 adults and their replicants — to colonize new planets shortly before their home planet was destroyed by an asteroid.

The series also 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.

On August 28, 2018, it was announced that Hulu had given the production a two-season order consisting of sixteen episodes. The series was created by Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, who were also expected to serve as executive producers. It is distributed by 20th Television. On June 18, 2020, Hulu renewed the series for an expanded third season consisting of 11 episodes. On June 22, 2021, Hulu renewed the series for a fourth season. On October 6, 2022, Hulu renewed the series for a fifth season. On July 26, 2024, Hulu renewed the series for a sixth season. In March 2025, the series was confirmed to end with the sixth season.

The Wall in Yumyulack's room where he imprisons shrunken-down people was, as Roiland has noted, one of the duo's initial ideas for the series, as they were interested in a "B-story" that lasted the entire first season.

Alongside the series first order announcement, it was confirmed that Roiland, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, and Mary Mack would voice the lead characters in the series.

On January 25, 2023, Roiland was removed from the show, alongside sister show Koala Man, after he was charged with felony domestic abuse. Both shows are distributed by 20th Television, via their 20th Television Animation division. On June 20, 2023, it was announced that Dan Stevens was officially taking over as the voice of Korvo.

The first teaser for the series was released on March 25, 2020, and the first trailer on April 15, 2020. The first season premiered on May 8, 2020. Internationally, the series premiered on Disney+ under the dedicated streaming hub Star as an original series on February 23, 2021. The second season premiered on March 26, 2021.
