description Abstract Let $${\mathscr {X}} \rightarrow C$$ X → C be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve C in characteristic $$p \ge 5$$ p ≥ 5 . We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of C. More generally, suppose that we are given the canonical model of a Shimura variety $${\mathcal {S}}$$ S of orthogonal type, associated to a lattice of signature (b, 2) that is self-dual at p. We prove that any generically ordinary proper curve C in $${\mathcal {S}}_{{\overline{{\mathbb {F}}}}_p}$$ S F ¯ p intersects special divisors of $${\mathcal {S}}_{{\overline{{\mathbb {F}}}}_p}$$ S F ¯ p at infinitely many points. As an application, we prove the ordinary Hecke orbit conjecture of Chai–Oort in this setting; that is, we show that ordinary points in $${\mathcal {S}}_{{\overline{{\mathbb {F}}}}_p}$$ S F ¯ p have Zariski-dense Hecke orbits. We also deduce the ordinary Hecke orbit conjecture for certain families of unitary Shimura varieties.
