Five months after Hulu severed ties with solar opposites co-creator Justin Roiland, the streamer tapped Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Legion) to take his place as the voice of Korvo.
Roiland was dropped by Hulu earlier this year after being charged with one count of domestic battery bodily harm and one count of false imprisonment by threat, violence, fraud or deception – all related to an incident that allegedly occurred in 2020 with an unidentified woman. Although he was cleared of those charges in March, Roiland will not be returning to the show.

solar opposites launches its 11-episode fourth season on August 14, followed by a Valentine’s Day special slated for 2024. The series has already been renewed for season 5.
For the uninitiated, solar opposites “focuses on a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is horrible or awesome,” according to the official synopsis. “Korvo and Yumyulack only see pollution, crude consumerism and human frailty while Terry and Jesse love TV, junk food and fun stuff.”
The series’ otherworldly voice cast also includes Sean Giambrone as Yumyulack, Thomas Middleditch as Terry, and Mary Mack as Jesse.
