What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Syfy cable channel, the Resident Alien TV show is based on the Dark Horse comic series and stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Elizabeth Bowen, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, and Judah Prehn. The story revolves around Captain Hah Re (Tudyk), an alien with a secret mission to kill all humans. He crashes on Earth and passes himself off as a human doctor named Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle in a small town in Colorado. In his new guise, Harry starts off living a simple life but things get complicated when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. In season two, Harry is once again stranded on Earth where he must confront the consequences of having failed his people’s mission to destroy the human race. On his new quest to protect the people of Earth, Harry struggles to hold on to his alien identity as his human emotions grow stronger by the day.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Resident Alien averaged a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 840,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 42% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how Resident Alien stacks up against other Syfy TV shows.
Resident Alien has been renewed for a third season which will debut on February 14, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Resident Alien TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if Syfy had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Although the series is not owl-centric, I enjoy it immensely! Alan is terrific in whatever he does + he has a great supporting cast!!
This Series is a hoot! I wouldn’t be surprised if another network picked it up.
Sadly the end has come. S3e4/5are now behind a paywall. I simply love this show and predict the network will regret letting it go.
I started watching RA and I could not stop watching it!!! I was addicted – LOVE IT!!! …… I need more.
Resident Alien is very entertaining and addictive. If the studio would use good judgment when the program is aired the following would be much larger and give any series a run for its money.
Funny, quirky, original, inclusive and very human. Northern Exposure meets Twilight Zone. Don’t even think of cancelling Resident Alien.
One of best shows and I watch lot of TV for 80 years
Please! Love it! As does everyone who finds it, learns of it and watches!
I have been waiting for resident alien to come back. Hope it’s renewed if not I will miss it.
PLEASE renew Resident Alien! We LOVE this show.
Resident Alien is one of the best shows written since the original Law & Order. We are hooked, look forward to the next show immediately after the current episode is over. My husband and I talk about it and refer to it daily. Please keep it going. This could be as successful as Seinfeld!
Love Resident Alien, so glad it was renewed for Season 3! One of the few shows I look forward to, since there’s so much other junk on TV. Please keep it coming for as many seasons as possible. It’s definitely a keeper!
I don’t watch much TV except for the news and an occasional movie with my wife. But I decided to watch Resident Alien I was hooked. I’d watch an episode a night after getting off work at 11PM. When I finally got to the end of season two and discovered that was it I was really disappointed. I’m happy there is going to be a third. I’m a big fan.
One of my families favorite shows! Looking forward to many more seasons. This one is a winner!
Husband and I love Resident Alien! Writing is great with humor throughout. Lots of opportunities to feel for the characters who are portrayed marvelously. Too bad more folks watch the abysmal shows they do. Taste has gone away in so many arenas in this country. RA is compelling and funny – just plain fun to watch.
