After four seasons of exploring every aspect of humanity through Harry Vanderspeigle's eyes, Resident Alien has been announced to conclude after the fourth season, with no plans for a season 5 revival. The hilarious and emotional journey that this show took us on these past few years has finally come to an end with the season 4 finale, which aired on August 8.
It has been a common compliment for this sci-fi drama that it understands the impact of the music on the show. The background score in Resident Alien has one of the most important contributions in setting the exact tone of the scene, be it quirky or emotional. As viewers bid an emotional goodbye to this series and Alan Tudyk's Harry, here is a complete list of the music in the fourth season of the sci-fi comedy drama.
Resident Alien Season 4: A Guide through the sci-fi drama's soundtrack
The fourth and final season of Resident Alien features Harry unable to change into his alien form while another alien impersonates him on Earth in the small town of Patience. Additionally, the show takes a bold yet rewarding step of shifting from Harry's personal struggles to the small town's inhabitants, who are reeling from all the chaos and secrets that come with alien encounters.
The background score this season, much like the previous seasons, does a fantastic job in each episode:
