Firefly only lasted one season, but those 14 episodes were not enough for fans. So ever since it said goodbye in 2002, they have wanted more.
In 2005, they made a one-off movie, Serenity. But it was not enough.
Today, Nathan Fillion, along with his co-stars, Gina Torres (Zoe Washburne), Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra), Sean Maher (Simon Tam), Summer Glau (River Tam), Jewel Staite (Kaylee Frye), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb), and Alan Tudyk (Hoban “Wash” Washburne) announced that they are working on an animated version of the show.
Married couple, Tara Butters and Marc Guggenheim, who met when they worked on the mothership, are the showrunners. A script is ready. ShadowMachine, an animation house, has been hired. So all they need is a home.
And Fillion is meeting with one now. Who is it? He didn’t say. But I think that Hulu would be the best home for it.
However, without Joss Whedon, even though they gave his blessing, I am not sure it will be as good. I find that most reboots, sequels, and revivals don’t work if the original creator is not involved. Am I alone with that feeling?
Syfy and USA Network have slowly been getting out of the scripted show business. So, when they renewed Resident Alien for a fourth season, we were hoping it would stay around for a while. But, alas, it will be no more.
“I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season,” 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. I’m so proud of how good Season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did, with a finale that is probably my favorite episode of the series.”
Alan Tudyk and the cast gave us an alien show unlike anything we have seen before. It started out as a show where Harry wanted to destroy the world, but ended up wanting to save it.
Will he be able to do it? We will find out on August 8th during the series final episode.
In June, Syfy cancelled Resident Alien, but its sister network, USA, saved it. Because of that, Syfy changed its mind, and now we are getting two Harrys. Well, sort of!
The fourth season starts with Harry (Alan Tudyk) and his baby, Bridget, stuck in prison on the Grey Moonbase, while a shape-shifting Alien called a Mantid has taken over his body on Earth, passing himself off as the real Harry Vanderspeigle. Harry manages to escape the Greys and arrives back on Earth for a showdown with the Mantid Alien, but soon finds he may not have what he needs to finish the job. Asta (Sara Tomko) and D’arcy (Alice Wetterlund) struggle to keep a secret from Ben (Levi Fiehler) and Kate (Meredith Garretson), who are both desperate to find answers to what has been happening to them. Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) attempt to solve some mysterious deaths in Patience that Sheriff Mike is beginning to think aren’t caused by anything human.
Resident Alien will debut on both Syfy and USA on June 6th.
I love it when a network admits it made a mistake cancelling a show, and then decides to air new episodes. RA is a series that deserves a second chance because the third season redeemed itself. And the fourth season looks like it is going to be twice as fun!
There were rumors that it did not look like Resident Alien would be back for a fourth season on Syfy, and today that rumor was confirmed.
The Syfy series about an alien (Alan Tudyk) who wants to destroy the Earth and everyone on it was renewed for another season. However, it is changing channels and moving to the USA Network.
The show has a loyal fanbase, and hopefully, they will follow it to its new home. I know; I will go wherever it goes!
Tonight at 10p on Syfy, Asta (Sara Tomko) cheats on the Resident Alien to go on a date with the Grey alien, aka Joseph (Enver Gjokaj). We now know that he is here to destroy the Earth.
Asta is not really on a date date with him. She is doing it to distract him so that Harry (Alan Tudyk) and D’Arcy (Alice Wetterlund) can check out Joseph’s place to see if there is anything there that can stop him.
However, Joseph set a trap at his apartment, and now Harry and D’Arcy are stuck in it. Will they be able to get out of it before he comes home?
That is not all that happens. We find out that one of Patience’s residents was abducted by aliens. Can you guess who it is?
You are going to want to tune in because this show is so much funny. It is as good as it was during the first season. Harry’s nativity makes this series so enjoyable and his character so lovable, even though he wants to kill all of us.
