Solar Opposites Season 5: Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know (2024)

Solar Opposites season 5 news is starting to arrive since the fourth season hit Hulu and left fans wondering what could happen next after the surprise ending. Lampooning the classic sitcom format, the animated hit follows a family of aliens who must seek refuge in middle America and find that they clash with Earth culture. Proving to be a success from the outset, the zany cartoon humor drew in fans of shows like Rick and Morty, but Solar Opposites blazes it own humorous trail as well.

However, fans might be wondering what the Solar Opposites season 5 story could possibly be about. The fourth season ended with an event that made it look like the entire series was finished, and the story was over. However, while that is how it looked, the show is coming back and Korvo and his family will remain a part of the story. The fourth season changed the premise of Solar Opposites, and that could lead to more changes in Solar Opposites season 5, including giving more screen time to side stories like The Wall and seeing the family in an entirely different environment.

Season 5's Trailer Is Dropped

With the show's release date getting closer, the latest news comes in the form of a full trailer for Solar Opposites season 5. Debuting at 2024's San Diego Comic-Con, the teaser reintroduces the family's dynamic back on Earth after the holiday special from February 2024. Terry and Korvo take advantage of their newfound status as a married couple, while Yumyulack and Jesse struggle to fit in at school. What is teased throughout the entire trailer is the show's abundant use of self-referential humor, and season 5 might be the most self-aware yet.

Season 5 Debuts In August

Despite challenges that faced season 4 (including the firing of original creator and star Justin Roiland), the season went off without a hitch and the series was quickly green-lit for another set of episodes. Solar Opposites season 5 was delayed by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, but was "deep in production" by early 2024. Now, Hulu has confirmed that Solar Opposites season 5 will debut on Monday, August 12, 2024.

Season 4 Gave Korvo & The Family A Happy Ending

Solar Opposites season 4 ended on what seemed to be a conclusive note, but developments in the 2024 Valentine's Day special threw a wrench in everything. In season 5, the entire alien family will be back on Earth and readjusting to their lives on the planet they love to despise. Terry and Korvo will be basking in their newlywed glow, while Yumyulack and Jesse fight to fit in at school.
