Syfy’s Resident Alien has earned a fourth season order, and has found a new channel to call home. NBCUniversal is moving the series from Syfy to USA Network for season four.
The popular sci-fi comedy stars Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle, Sara Tomko as Asta, and Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike. Alice Wetterlund is D’Arcy Bloom, Levi Fiehler plays Ben Hawthorne, Elizabeth Bowen is Deputy Liv, and Judah Prehn is Max Hawthorne.
“Based on the Dark Horse comics, Resident Alien follows a crash-landed alien named Harry whose secret mission is to kill all humans. In season three, Harry vowed to work with General McCallister to rid the Earth of the Grey aliens, a task made more difficult when he discovered that the Grey Hybrid Joseph had taken a job in town as the new Deputy,” reads Syfy’s synopsis. “In addition, Harry struggled to balance business and his personal life when he fell in love for the first time.”
Chris Sheridan has guided the series as showrunner since the first season and will continue as showrunner for season four. Sheridan executive produces along with Robert Duncan McNeill, Nastaran Dibai, Dark Horse Entertainment’s Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg. Amblin TV’s Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank also executive produce.
Sheridan tweeted out the news and thanked fans for their continuing support. “Thrilled to announce that Resident Alien has been picked up for a new season! We are shifting over to USA Network for a 10 episode Season 4! Thank you for your patience and for being the best fans in the world,” said Sheridan.
Season three premiered in February 2024 and averaged 3.3 million viewers. USA Network hasn’t announced a target premiere date for season four.
