Remember that Seth brought Family Guy back from cancellation, like, three times. He’s not someone you hand wave away when he’s determined to do something.
Comment on Seth MacFarlane Says The Orville Isn't Canceled Yet

The cast is released from their contracts and are off working other projects, and have been for a couple of years now. That’s pretty much the end.

Even MacFarlane has been off doing other things. Pre-production on a Naked Gun reboot.

It came back on the strength of DVD and Blu Ray sales.
The Orville doesn’t have home media in any format people would actually want to watch:

It literally came back because of a letter-writing campaign. And at a time when the show was at odds with Fox executives.

A few other shows in similar situations have come back, so it’s not impossible that it returns.

“Come Back” still means it’s currently dead. :)
Disney is still talking about bringing back Firefly, that doesn’t make it any more alive.

No, “come back” could mean a lot of things - it could mean it’s on hiatus, it could mean it’s between seasons, or it could mean that it’s cancelled.
Having a creator and network that doesn’t want to come back to it would mean it is dead. However not being cancelled means the network is open to it returning, and the creator has said he wants to come back to it, so no, it is not dead.

When a show is on hiatus or between seasons, they don’t release the talent from their contracts. Orville released everyone 2 years ago. :)

If the Willow reboot was anything to go by, Disney can’t be trusted to do Firefly 2.0 justice. I’m sad it died all those years ago, but let it rest with dignity,.
