Hulu’s set a Monday, October 3, 2022 premiere date for the Solar Opposites Halloween special. During the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, executive producer Josh Bycel confirmed the “A Sinister Halloween Scary Opposites Solar Special” will bring back a classic Halloween-ey scary movie character who’ll be voiced by the original actor.
Justin Roiland, series creator, executive producer, and the voice of Korvo, teased what’s in store for Solar Opposites fans with the upcoming Halloween special. “Korvo is absolutely f**king terrified of anything to do with Halloween. Like, candy corn, even if you get some cotton and start stretching it and it starts to look like a spiderweb, he’s [terrified]. So, that’s sort of what it’s about but then it just goes to all these insane places ultimately.
I don’t know what all to say…and then I could also say ‘crypt keeper,’ but you could make of that what you will. (Laughing) I don’t know – that might actually be a spoiler. But it’s really, really, really fun. We also kind of love the formula of 11 normal episodes and then a special. We’re kind of clicking into that as the Solar rhythm for each year.”
Asked if we’ll learn why Korvo hates Halloween, Roiland replied, “Yes, essentially. Well…yeah, yeah, kind of. I mean, listen, whenever we do an episode where we’re not going to learn backstory, we at least have some funny hand-wavy thing that satiates that for the audience. Like, the why of it all. We have a good team and we’re really cognizant of that stuff. We all have good taste in comedy and the stuff that we like to watch. I feel like we all have a good bead on when something’s really good and when something’s not.”
Solar Opposites features the voices of Sean Giambrone as Yumyulack, Thomas Middleditch as Terry, and Mary Mack as Jesse. The popular animated series was created by Roiland and Mike McMahan and is produced by 20th Television Animation.
