Resident Alien Season 4 has finally dropped, and fans waiting to watch the sci-fi comedy are keen on knowing the right ways to stream or catch it live.
The series, still tracking the alien Harry Vanderspeigle as he navigates human existence on Earth, premiered its fourth season on June 6, 2025. Catching up or leaping into Season 4's hiccups, regardless, it's helpful to know exactly when and where to watch new episodes.
While there has been a bit of fuss, the broadcasting and streaming details for Season 4 of Resident Alien are fairly straightforward once defined. From cable to streaming, viewers now have various options at their fingertips to watch fresh and old episodes, based on device, where they live, and whether or not they wish to buy a subscription.
Resident Alien Season 4 broadcast networks
Resident Alien Season 4 is airing concurrently on SYFY and USA Network, not one, but both. The latest season premiered on Friday, June 6, 2025, with the episodes airing weekly on Fridays first at 11 p.m. ET/PT, then the July shift to 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Both are NBCUniversal-owned channels, so the dual-channel launch provides viewers with two traditional broadcast windows.
Streaming Resident Alien Season 4 on Peacock
Yes, Resident Alien Season 4 does stream on Peacock, but not right after it is aired. Rather, new episodes are on Peacock precisely a week after SYFY and USA Network make them available. To see it, there is a requirement for an ad-supported paid subscription, and the episodes cannot be streamed for free.
Peacock also includes Seasons 1-3, which you can stream on demand at will.
Streaming on the USA network's website and app
Aside from Peacock, episodes of Resident Alien Season 4 will be available a week after the show appears on the USA Network website and USA app. However, to view them, you have to log in using a participating cable or satellite TV provider. This is not streaming for free.
Supported cable providers are Xfinity, Spectrum, DirecTV, and Dish, among a few others. After authentication, users can watch full episodes, including bonuses, both from their desktop browser and mobile. Similar to Peacock, Season 4 episodes are available one week after broadcast.
Streaming Resident Alien Season 4 without cable
You can stream Season 4 live without cable via several live TV streaming services that offer both SYFY and USA Network. They are:
- Sling TV (Blue plan)
- YouTube TV
- FuboTV
- Hulu + Live TV
- DIRECTV Stream
All of these services are subscription services, although most have free trial periods available to new subscribers. They also offer DVR capabilities, so you can record shows and view them later.
Supported devices for streaming
Whether you’re watching via Peacock or through the USA Network’s digital platforms, Resident Alien Season 4 can be streamed on a wide range of devices, including:
- Web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- iOS and Android mobile apps
- Streaming devices: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast
- Smart TVs from LG, Samsung, Sony, and others
- Gaming consoles: Xbox and PlayStation (via Peacock app)
Ensure your app contains the most recent version for seamless play. Streaming resolution and subtitle availability also differ slightly per device and platform.
Prior seasons availability
Resident Alien Seasons 1-3 can be streamed from Peacock in the US. They are part of the service's subscription offerings, which enable new viewers to binge-watch or hardcore viewers to get up to date with what has gone before viewing Season 4.
In some countries, previous seasons are also on Netflix, but Season 4 is no longer streamed on Netflix. Peacock and NBCUniversal platforms temporarily have the streaming rights to Season 4.
Release pattern for new episodes
This is the release pattern for new episodes of Resident Alien Season 4:
Fridays: New episode available on SYFY and USA Network (10 p.m. ET/PT)
One week later: Episode airs on Peacock and USA Network's digital platforms
This release date enables a level playing field access for broadcast TV viewers and streaming viewers without harming live ratings and on-demand viewing.
In brief, Resident Alien Season 4 airs weekly on SYFY and USA Network, streams a week later on Peacock and the USA Network site/app, and live streams on services like Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV. Each offers its requirements, i.e., a paid subscription to a paid cable login authentication.
There aren't any early streams to behold; all locations share the one-week delay of web viewing. Live viewing or catch-up viewing is equivalent; keeping up prevents you from falling behind on any of the fresh news in Harry's ongoing human-alien saga.
