The acclaimed ape drama is set to return with a new film in development. The original 1968 Planet of the Apes film was based on a novel by French writer Pierre Boulle.

Fox has tapped filmmaker and Maze Runner helmer Wes Ball to direct the new installment in the iconic franchise. 

The new film marks the first significant title to set in motion following Disney’s acquisition of the studio.

It is unclear whether the newly announced project, still in very early stages of development will be a new reboot an extension of the previous film series, Matt Reeves’ War for the Planet of the Apes.

Per Deadline, the space adventure series will be available exclusively on the streaming service as a Hulu Original after two seasons at Fox. 

“The Orville has been a labor of love for me…,” said MacFarlane. “But as the show has evolved and become more ambitious production-wise, I determined that I would not be able to deliver episodes until 2020, which would be challenging for the network. So we began to discuss how best to support the third season in a way that worked for the show. It’s exactly this kind of willingness to accommodate a show’s creative needs that’s made me want to stick around for so long. I am hugely indebted to Charlie Collier and Fox Entertainment for their generosity and look forward to developing future projects there. And to my new friends at Hulu, I look forward to our new partnership exploring the galaxy together.” 

“Fox Entertainment has been a fantastic home for The Orville and their willingness to support the show’s move to Hulu is incredibly appreciated; they really are great partners to us on so many shows and this is one more example. We’re thrilled as a studio to find this creative solution which is so meaningful to Seth and keeps the show on track to continue entertaining its millions of fans,” said Carolyn Cassidy, President of Creative Affairs, 20th Century Fox Television.

The Orville will return in late 2020.
