Fans of Resident Alien were excited to learn that the show was coming back after switching from Syfy to USA Network!
Resident Alien Season 4
While some fans wondered if Resident Alien would ever continue after season 3, Alan Tudyk is coming back for another round!
Season 4 has a special advantage!
Season 3's Impact
Season 3 wasn't the same as seasons 1 and 2 for a few reasons! The show cut the number of episodes. Originally it had 12 but ended up with 8 episodes!
Showrunner Chris Sheridan explained that having such a major last-minute change meant that they were unable to re-imagine the whole season. He explained that many parts had to be sped up because of this major cut to the production schedule. While this really changed season 3. It turns out those episodes were far more impactful, creating something epic and intense. Many fans noticed it as the show's two-part finale, called "Here Comes My Baby" and "Homecoming," brought something special.
A High-Quality Finale
IMDb rankings prove it! The last two episodes were amazing, scoring a 8.1/10 or 8.2/10 and landed themselves into Resident Alien's top ten episodes ever, all the way back to season one.
Why Season 3 Wasn't As Good
It seemed like something happened behind-the-scenes to change things up a bit. Fans loved Resident Alien. It had 10 episodes in season 1. Season 2 brought 16, showing that the creators were truly going to try for a grander production schedule! While season 3 started with 12 episodes, many things changed and the team had to cut things to just 8! It turns out this was such a drastic change! Some things couldn't get done. As a result many important aspects, particularly the story line were affected.
Season 4's Potential
Season 3 ended with cliffhangers and really set the stage for the next chapter of the story! It’s going to be huge as they continue to dive deep with some key moments in Season 4!
- There will be more storylines introduced that need a resolution.
- It might introduce even more compelling elements into this sci-fi saga.
Filming starts in December 2024 and will run through March 2025.
With this long filming period. The creators of Resident Alien really hope they can make a lasting mark in this new season.
Fans will be excited to see this amazing TV show come out, which may continue to become an even bigger success with season four, showing this series still has great things coming and just might outshine some of its earlier works!
