What Is Resident Alien? Everything to Know About the Show Coming to USA Network for Its 4th Season
Harry Vanderspeigle and his friends in Patience, Colorado, are moving from SYFY to USA Network!
Alan Tudyk’s Harry Vanderspeigle is coming back, and he’s got a new network home! Resident Alien will return for a fourth season on USA Network.
Who’s in the cast of Resident Alien?
Aside from that, though, everything else about the hit sci-fi series remains the same — right down to the supporting cast members working with Alan Tudyk: Sara Tomko (Asta Twelvetrees), Corey Reynolds (Sheriff Mike Thompson), Alice Wetterlund (D’Arcy Bloom), Levi Fiehler (Mayor Ben Hawthorne), Elizabeth Bowen (Deputy Liv Baker), and Judah Prehn (self-appointed Alien Tracker Max Hawthorne) are all returning for new episodes.
Season 3 averaged a total of 3.3 million viewers and 1 million in the 18-49 demo across all platforms through 35 days. Fans have been on the edge of their seats since the finale, which provided Sheriff Mike with undeniable proof of alien life and revealed that Harry and Bridget are still trapped on the Greys’ mothership inside the moon. The Harry who returned to Earth with Asta and D’Arcy is actually a shape-shifting member of the voracious Mantid race (voiced by guest star Clancy Brown).
“It doesn't just serve as a great twist at the end of Season 3. But you now are going into Season 4 with this Mantid, who we tried to establish is kind of a horrifying creature,” showrunner Chris Sheridan told SYFY WIRE. "It can seamlessly turn into anybody. And then you assume as that person, whoever they are, it would still have the hunger for human."
Where is Resident Alien filmed?
While the series takes place in the fictional town of Patience, Colorado, Resident Alien isn't actually filmed in Colorado. Instead, the cast and crew head to the Great White North and film in Vancouver, British Columbia — Canada. Most of Resident Alien is filmed on soundstages in Vancouver, per production designer Michael Joy.
"We have two soundstages," Joy explained to SYFY WIRE in 2024. "On the soundstages are the diner, the mayor's office, police station, and D’Arcy and Asta’s apartment. In the other studio, we have Harry's cabin, the Hawthornes’ house, and the bar. Then we have a little bit of room that we just cram our little swing sets into. What we can build out is very, very limited, because we've basically built out both our studios."
Based on the Dark Horse-published comic of the same name by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, Resident Alien was developed for television by Sheridan. The Family Guy alum serves as executive producer with Mike Richardson, Keith Goldberg, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, Robert Duncan McNeill, and Nastaran Dibai.
When is Resident Alien Season 4 coming out?
Resident Alien’s fourth season will premiere on USA Network, which currently shares episodes of Chucky with SYFY. An official premiere date for Season 4 has yet to be confirmed.
