Solar Opposites Embarks on Its Final Mission

Get ready, Shlorpians, for one last adventure. Although fans of Solar Opposites were already aware that a sixth season was in the works, the latest update reveals that it will be the show’s final installment. The announcement was made via an Instagram post, which teased the “final mission” and featured a delectable Taco Tuesday meal.

The premiere date for the sixth season has been slated for “this fall,” although the press release from Hulu did not provide further specifics. It also remains unclear whether the final season will include a holiday special, a tradition that the series has maintained in the past, with previous specials celebrating Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.

A brief plot description has been released, stating that when the Solar Opposites family is faced with financial difficulties, they must adapt to life on Earth without the aid of their sci-fi gadgets or extravagant lifestyle. Fans of the show are well aware that the characters place equal value on their advanced technology and Earthly indulgences, making their predicament all the more relatable.

In addition to the main storyline, the season will also feature the continuation of the popular subplot involving the Wall, where a group of tiny people, shrunk by an alien ray, live in and around the Solar Opposites’ residence. The description promises “wild chaos” and “hilarious mischief” as the family navigates their farewell, with the tiny people’s drama reaching a climactic conclusion.

The sixth season boasts an impressive list of guest stars, including Cherie (Christina Hendricks) and Ringo, aka the Duke (Alfred Molina), who will reprise their roles in the tiny people’s soap opera. Other notable guest stars include Tiffany Haddish, Kieran Culkin, Ken Marino, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, and Beck Bennett. The main cast, comprising Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Mary Mack, and Sean Giambrone, will return to their respective roles.

As the show comes to a close, fans will undoubtedly miss the chaos and boundary-pushing humor that Solar Opposites has become known for. However, with one final season on the horizon, there is still much to look forward to. What are your thoughts on the conclusion of Solar Opposites?
