Resident Alien is officially coming back for its fourth season, but it will be available on a brand-new network once it returns. Instead of continuing its run on Syfy, the sci-fi mystery series will return for Season 4 on USA Network.
According to its official logline, Resident Alien centers on a crash-landed alien named Harry whose secret mission is to kill all humans. Season 3 saw him join forces with General McCallister on a task to rid the Earth of the Grey aliens, only to discover that one of them had taken a job as a new deputy in his small town.
Alan Tudyk leads the cast of Resident Alien, while Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, Elizabeth Bowen, Judah Prehn, and Meredith Garretson star in supporting roles.
It’s not a huge shocker to see Resident Alien move from Syfy to USA Network—this announcement comes just a few weeks after Deadline reported this series won’t continue its run on Syfy. Both networks exist under the NBCUniversal umbrella, and the move to USA Network could expose this series to a broader audience.
Resident Alien is based on the Dark Horse comic book series of the same name, and its TV adaptation was created by Chris Sheridan, who serves as its showrunner.
