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?
Please renew it. I am sick and tired of the “reality” crud. That is vapid and so last century. More Resident Alien, please, please and PLEASE.
Renew it!
The ONLY show I watch on Syfy is Resident Alien.
Great acting and great script writing. Keep the story going. One of the few shows I look forward to watching.
I really looked forward to watching Resident Alien on Wednesday nights! It’s quirky, weird and fun and I’m very much hoping for another season!
This show is high on our watch list. Hoping it gets renewed for season 3
I’m sure one reason ratings dropped is due to the change in SYFY to a pay station.
Please Don’t Cancel Resident Alien – the Final Episode of Season 2 leaves Harry being shot & Asta has killed Harry’s Assailant; so it’s a “Really Big Cliff Hanger”
Please Don’t leave Harry & Asta’s fate unresolved?????? Harry is “My Favourite Alien” & it would be “criminal” to end this truly quirky & humorous Show this way!
Don’t cancel ‘Resident Alien!’ Awesome show. I’d rather watch this than that ‘Men in Black’ crap!!!
4.5 out of five stars. (A lot of unanswered questions/storylines!)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T CANCEL RESIDENT ALIEN! Absolutely LOVE the show, it’s the only show on TV I laugh so hard at and believe me it’s been a very long time since I’ve done that. I need Harry, he is my weekly dose of sunshine and I need him like a flower needs rain (sorry it’s corny, but it’s how I feel) I Love the Show and I Love Harry, I’m in my late 60s and not in great health so Please give me and all the fans a SEASON 3
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I like Harry to he makes me laugh as well
Resident Alien just HAS to have a season 3.
LOVE Resident Alien, Alan Tudyk is amazing and so funny. PLEASE don’t cancel the show, there is so much garbage on tv but this is worth saving.
I’m British and there was a tv show called red dwarf. now, it was rejected many times until someone had the balls to put the money up and it is now an icon of British tv shows, absolutely fantastic.
I do honestly think this will be on the same par as red dwarf, watch the British red dwarf and see what you think.
if you are not going to continue with your show, then please sell it to the British.
the show is absolutely fantastic
Red Dwarf is amazing. I have all of the episodes.
Please don’t cancel Resident Alien. In this day and age when it first came out it gave me an many other a reason to laugh.
This quirky comedy is what we need.
If you haven’t see it please watch it. Best show ever.
I love this show so many twists and turns so funny please season 3!
I soooooo hope it’s renewed!! This show is intelligent as well as funny The only must see on Wednesday! Great cast, well acted, no one does it better than Alan Tudyk.
