NBCUniversal has officially renewed “Resident Alien” for a fourth season, but with a significant twist. The beloved series will be transitioning from Syfy to USA Network. This change marks a new chapter for the show, which has garnered a dedicated fanbase since its debut.
The exact number of episodes for the upcoming season has yet to be announced. “Resident Alien,” based on the Dark Horse comics, centers around an alien named Harry, portrayed by Alan Tudyk. Initially sent to Earth to annihilate humanity, Harry’s mission takes a turn as he bonds with the residents of Patience, Colorado. Instead of destruction, he now aims to protect humanity from other alien threats.
The Season 3 finale, which aired on April 3, saw Harry and his unexpected ally Joseph thwarting the Greys’ catastrophic plan involving Yellowstone. Meanwhile, D’arcy played a crucial role in saving Kate and Ben’s baby, Sheriff Mike had a direct encounter with an alien, and Liv reunited with the alien tracker.
The ensemble cast includes Sara Tomko, Alice Wetterlund, Corey Reynolds, Levi Fiehler, Elizabeth Bowen, Meredith Garrettson, and Judah Prehn. The series also features notable guest stars such as Edi Patterson, Terry O’Quinn, Enver Gjokaj, Gary Farmer, Sarah Podemski, and Linda Hamilton.
Chris Sheridan, the executive producer and showrunner since the show’s inception, will continue to lead the series into its fourth season. Other executive producers include Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg of Dark Horse Entertainment, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank of Amblin TV, and Nastaran Dibai.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the new season and the fresh dynamics that the network change might bring. The move to USA Network could potentially introduce the show to a broader audience, further solidifying its place in the sci-fi genre.
As the series prepares for its next chapter, viewers are left wondering what new adventures and challenges await Harry and the residents of Patience. The show’s unique blend of humor, drama, and sci-fi elements has made it a standout, and the upcoming season promises to continue that tradition.
