Solar Opposites Halloween Special Part 2

This is not the first time the animated sci-fi series has released a holiday special. The madcap seasonal madness first began after Season 2 with 2021’s “A Very Solar Holiday Opposites Special.” Since then, a new special has been released each year. In 2022, Season 3 was followed by “A Sinister Halloween Scary Opposites Solar Special.”

And in 2023, an especially special holiday special was released after Season 4: “An Earth Shatteringly Romantic Solar Valentine’s Day Opposites Special.” In this episode, Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Korvo (Dan Stevens) are married. This is the catalyst for the focus on family values in 2024’s Season 5.

And for this year’s special, the series is continuing to break new ground. This is thanks to “The Solar Opposites Halloween Special Part 2: The Hunt for Brown October,” a sequel to 2022’s Halloween episode. According to the official description, the upcoming special sees “spooky stuff… afoot when the SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN starts to take over Korvo’s life.”

In addition to Middleditch and Stevens, the series also stars Sean Giambrone as Yumulack and Mary Mack as Jesse. What’s that?

Mark your calendar because the newest special arrives on October 7, 2024. Will you be grabbing it and shoving it into your Jack-O-Lantern bucket when it arrives?

Seasons 1 through 5 and the 3 previous holiday specials are currently available for streaming on Hulu.
