But despite once saving it from getting the axe at its previous home on SYFY, the USA Network decided not air Resident Alien past its fourth season.
It will air the comedy’s final three episodes in the coming weeks.
Resident Alien’s creator and showrunner Chris Sheridan already knew the fourth season was “likely” to be its last.
“Creatively, that was exciting because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending,” he told told TV Insider.
“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.”
Chris also teased the show will have “a very satisfying ending while also leaving the door cracked open for any future this world may have. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
Resident Alien first came out in 2021, and focuses on the character Harry Vanderspeigle, played by film star Alan Tudyk.
Medical examiner Harry is in fact an undercover alien sent to Earth to kill all humans.
As the three seasons progressed, Harry lost faith in his mission as he started to bond with his host family in Colorado.
Fans loved the quirky plot line, and were left very concerned when Syfy announced last year that it was unlikely to renew Resident Alien.
USA Network, which is owned by NBCUniversal picked up the show from Syfy for its fourth season, but it had a “significant budget reduction,” including chopping the season length down from 12 episodes to eight.
Resident Alien is a cult-hit and an impressive 98 percent rating on aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes.
Fans of the show reacted to its cancellation on X, formerly Twitter.
“Resident Alien was one of the funniest shows and this season the show has gotten even better. So b*****d more people didn’t give it a look. Alan Tudyk is a delight and the rest of the cast were great,” wrote one fan.
Another added: “Resident Alien has a strong cult following. They should move it over to Peacock.”
And a third posted: “With the TV market increasingly saturated with cheap reality shows, procedurals, and sequel shows, it is so hard to find a truly unique but terrific show. That’s why I’m very sad to see Resident Alien is canceled. Alan Tudyk is amazing in it and it is wildly amusing.”
