With some good sales in the trade formats for a while now, Peter Hogan’s comic series Resident Alien made the leap to the live-action side of things back in 2021 and it saw a second season arrive in 2022 with a third season renewal that saw a February 15th, 2024. A fourth season was in the works with it getting an expanded bit of distribution as it will also air through USA Network alongside Syfy while the previous seasons saw additional streaming through Netflix last year.
Now, the show has been set for a June 6th, 2025, premiere date, with it going on both networks, and the first trailer for it has landed below.
Plot Concept: Based on the Dark Horse comic, Syfy’s Resident Alien is a murder mystery sci-fi dramedy that follows Harry, an alien played by Alan Tudyk (Rogue One, Firefly) that crash lands on Earth and passes himself off as a small-town human doctor. Arriving with a secret mission to kill all humans, Harry starts off living a simple life… but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does so, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his mission and asking the big life questions like: “Are human beings worth saving?” and “Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?” Sara Tomko (Once Upon A Time), Corey Reynolds (The Closer), Alice Wetterlund (Silicon Valley) and Levi Fiehler (Mars) also star as the residents of Patience, Colorado.
