Resident Alien: cancellation reasons plus last episode release

USA Network’s science-fiction comedy show Resident Alien, which debuted in 2021 on SyFy, will be homeless after its upcoming fourth season finale.

The show is confirmed to be cancelled after Season 4, with no clear reason for its revocation.

However, Deadline reported that the series "came close to cancellation after Season 3."

"I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season," series creator and showrunner Chris Sheridan told TV Insider. "Creatively, that was exciting because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending."

Chris said that he felt proud of Season 4’s success, adding that he is “especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did."

The show’s star, Alan Tudyk, who plays an extraterrestrial who crashes on Earth, wrote on Threads, "It was a hell of a fun playground to play in. Laughter through the tears."

Corey Reynolds, who plays Sheriff Mike Thompson, also mentioned on the platform, "Best job I ever... had."

"Special 'thank you' to all the fans who always showed us so much love. The feeling was absolutely mutual," he continued. "Thank you all for your kind words, love and support!! It’s definitely a disappointing turn of events."

"Frankly, I would’ve been happy playing Sheriff Mike 'Big Black' Thompson for the rest of my life," the actor added, promising that fans "will still get a complete story."
