(Syfy)
Resident Alien fans will see fewer episodes of season three than anticipated. Deadline reports that Syfy has cut the number of episodes for season three by a third, from 12 to eight installments. The second season of 16 episodes concluded in September.
Starring Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Elizabeth Bowen, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, and Judah Prehn, the Syfy series follows an alien (Tudyk) who crashes on Earth with a mission to kill all humans, but things change as he spends time on the planet.
The comedy series was renewed for a third season of 12 episodes in July, ahead of the premiere of the second half of season two in August. The ratings dropped from the first half of the season, which is a possible reason for fewer episodes being produced.
A premiere date for season three of Resident Alien will be announced later.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this Syfy series? Are you disappointed that fewer episodes are being produced?
i’m sure the money will be spent on a body with a better laugh
Oblivious to the circle jerk they find themselves in… Cancel a lot of good shows, start a few new ones. People hesitate to invest because the show may be cancelled, ratings stall. Split the season to garner suspense, viewers remember the cancellations and ratings fall. Ding, cancel, start again. I LOVE THIS SHOW. It is the last show on the network that I watch. Do you want to know, network execs, how I have been spending my primetime hours? Listening to old Sci-fi on audio. Not one of you is getting my advertising time.
Resident Aliens has a great cast that works and is one of my favorite SYFY shows.
WOW it never fails every time there is an AWESOME show on tv they get less and less shows then they cancel it! Why ???? is it one of the best shows on tv right now so why even turn on the tv just to watch reruns like we have for the last couple years so I BEG YOU PLESES DO NOT Cancel ‘Resident Alien !!!!!!!!
Resident Alien is the best! It is the only scripted TV show I will watch. Please do not cancel it… I would rather lose a few episodes rather than the whole show.
Could it be the day was changed or it’s been off more than on. I love this show Please don’t cancel give it a chance with a good schedule day and time Thank you
My favorite show. There should be 16 episodes! No wait! There should be 16 two hour episodes. Cutting back the amount of episodes is ignorant. I don’t think the network really knows what it has with Resident Alien.
I want MORE episodes, not less.
They probably lost a few viewers due to splitting season 2, which I don’t understand at all. Why not show it in one go? Either way, I hope they don’t cut it. It’s so quirky and funny and so much better than all the “reality” rubbish that fills our screens.
I LOVE this show! I’ll take a few lesser episodes as long as they don’t cancel it!
Best Show on TV right now! Please do not cut any episodes! What the heck? Do Not Cancel ‘Resident Alien’ either. All of the actors work great together. We look forward to Season 3’s new shows and wish they were on right now! Please keep ‘Resident Alien’ on for many years to come. Thank you!
