(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?
Likle other good shows on SciFi (I refuse to type it iss-spelled!), the cancellers of that service will most likely cncell it after season three. 🙁 They’re clueless as to what folks like, good SciFi shows that appeal to the masses and are consistent on each season showing up the following year. Hiatus of 2+ years between seasons iks ridiculous, just so yu can show old crap no one likes and introduce bad shows that were obviosuly bad from the get go.
I love Resident Alien. Please continue with this series.
Its a great show we want more
Resident Alien is the funniest and best comedy series I have enjoyed this much in a long time. Please do not cancel it. Just wished I didn’t have to wait so long between series episodes. Don’t let us fans down.
My Boyfriend and I Love that show it was so awesome we never missed a show we recorded it and watched it over and over please bring it back
The wife and I love Resident Alien and wish it would be longer. It is a grsat show.
Just more Syfy nonsense. It’s a never ending cycle! It began with Eureka and Warehouse 13, and it hasn’t stopped since!
I absolutely love Resident Alien and can’t wait for Season 3. I really hope they don’t cancel it.
I am so looking forward to season 3 of “R A “ . I might forget to start looking for it in July. This reduction in episodes is totally disappointing. Such a great cast and exciting writing. Double check your numbers SYfY . This fan isn’t happy
My husband and I really enjoy the Resident Alien series, but we dont understand cutting a season in half. Trying to pick up again after such a long delay will be difficult. We really hope it will be worth the wait.
I agree. The show is great but the length between seasons is horrible and probably why they’ve lost so many fans.
I love Resident alien!!! Its lighthearted comedy is refreshing. Please continue the series.
Your rating reflects your poor scheduling and keeping fans and suspense for too long. I have enjoyed the show and I hope you restore the full episode.
It seems like any show done well gets cancelled. Enjoying this show. done well.
I absolutely love this show and am highly disappointed they reduced the number of episodes for season 3
With this news, there’s a good chance season 3 will be the last.
if you screw up the scheduling, why do people stop watching, not the refreshing show, SYFY should reconsider for 2 more seasons.
