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!
