Solar Opposites Season 5 Unveils New Trailer: Plot, What to Expect, Release Details & More

As a dedicated fan who has followed Solar Opposites since its inception, I can confidently say that the upcoming Season 5 is shaping up to be a rollercoaster ride of sci-fi chaos, humor, and heartfelt moments. The trailer alone has me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating the return of these quirky alien characters and their earthly adventures.


Solar Opposites’ fifth season is coming back to Hulu later this month for the animated series. This new season introduces a fresh dystopian subplot titled “The Wall,” which has been interwoven with the main storyline since its debut in Season 1. The trailer for Season 5 hints at the upcoming developments for characters Cherie (played by Christina Hendricks) and Montez (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui). In this season, they escape “The Wall” with their baby Pezlie and a new ally, facing challenges in the community known as The Yard. The sci-fi mayhem continues to enhance the appeal of this popular addition to the show.

Solar Opposites season 5 release date 

Produced by Mike McMahan and Josh Bycel under the executive leadership of 20th Television Animation, Solar Opposites Season 5 is set to premiere on Hulu on August 12th. This animated series, known for its intriguing storylines about the Solar Opposites, has been hinting at a fresh tale titled “The Yard” ever since the conclusion of the fourth season.

The show chronicles the progression of societies and significant transformations experienced by characters as they journey from ‘The Wall’ into their own yards. A sneak peek at Solar Opposites Season 5 shows that Cherie and her companions who survived in Season 4, now face fresh obstacles while settling down in their new yard environments. At first glance, it seems that they are content; however, the preview for Season 5 hints at a different reality.

In the preview for the upcoming season, we meet Jesse and Yumyulack, who observe that the Wall, which was much more formidable during Season 1, appears weakened. The series delves into the grim events of numerous citizens’ demise, survival hardships in a nightmarish society, and the quest for existence. After pilfering Pezlie from Sister Sisto, Cherie and Montez discover tranquility in their own backyard.

In contrast, the courtyard seems more prosperous with its resources and absence of oppressive leaders. Yet, chaos ensues when the sprinklers stop functioning, leaving everyone without water. The remaining inhabitants must once again fight for their lives and liberty, transforming the series into a gripping Mad Max: Fury Road-like adventure.

At San Diego Comic-Con’s debut, we catch a glimpse of The Duke, or Ringo, reemerging not as deceased but very much alive. In the upcoming Season 5, he might switch from ruling with an iron fist to standing for righteousness. Meanwhile, The Wall saga persists with Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse. Season 5 hints at a dramatic breakdown reminiscent of Season 1 in Korvo, romantic development between him and Terry, academic strife for Jesse and Yumyulack, and problem-solving rooted in science fiction.

The upcoming season of Solar Opposites promises a fresh look at life on Earth, as four extraterrestrial characters argue about its merits. Korvo (Dan Stevens) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) find it repulsive with its pollution, materialism, and human flaws, while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) are smitten with Earth’s TV shows, junk food, and fun activities. With Terry and Korvo now married in this season, the alien team is exploring new dimensions of family dynamics.

As a dedicated follower, I’m excited to share that Solar Opposites has been making waves on Hulu! Based on Hulu’s reports, it was not only the most-watched program but also the most-watched comedy premiere of a Hulu Original show on their platform, from May 8 to May 12, 2020. Moreover, according to Nielsen, Solar Opposites ranked as the 10th most streamed original series across all platforms in the United States during the week of March 22 to 28, 2022, and even climbed up to the 7th position during the week from March 29, 2021, to April 4, 2021. This just goes to show that Solar Opposites has been consistently capturing audience attention!

Solar Opposites was one of the shows that people were looking forward to returning on TV in July 2022, and it was also one of the seven most-watched original series across all streaming platforms in the U.S. during the week ending July 24, 2022.

A brief about Solar Opposites 

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Solar Opposites is all about the adventures of Korvo, Terry, Jesse, and Yumyulack – a unique extraterrestrial family who find themselves stranded on Earth after their spaceship crashed. Originating from the sophisticated Planet Shlorp, they were part of a fleet of one hundred ships sent out to colonize distant worlds, just before our planet was devastated by an asteroid. Now, they’re constantly debating whether this unexpected detour is a blessing or a curse.

The series presents two intertwined narratives: one focusing on a society of humans miniaturized by the replicant Yumyulack and trapped within a glass enclosure called “The Wall.” From season three onwards, another tale unfolds about a band of rogue space cops, dubbed SilverCops, who are infamous for their mistreatment and arrests of Shlorpians attempting to escape the devastation of their planets.
