Resident Alien wraps after four Seasons: Here’s how the cast is reacting to the big news

Harry's time in Patience is about to come to an end as Resident Alien has been canceled after four seasons. The USA and Syfy science fiction comedy series, created by Chris Sheridan, will premiere its series finale on August 8, 2025.

Based on the comic book of the same name, the show follows an extraterrestrial being sent to Earth to wipe out humanity. He kills a vacationing physician, Harry Vanderspeigle, and assumes his identity. However, as time passes, he develops compassion and empathy for humans and starts defending them from other extraterrestrial threats.

While Resident Alien cancellation news was certainly a disappointment for the cast and fans, the crew had already anticipated the end. As revealed by Sheridan, the series finale was written with cancellation in mind and will serve as a natural conclusion for the story.

With only two episodes left to air, cast members Alan Tudyk, Meredith Garretson, Elizabeth Bowen, and Sara Tomko took to their social media and shared their thoughts about the cancellation.

“It was a hell of a fun playground to play in. Laughter through the tears.”

Actress Meredith Garretson, who plays Kate Hawthorne in Resident Alien, also took to her Instagram stories. She reflected on the show's journey while appreciating Sheridan and the crew for their vision on the final season and thanked fans for their love:

''I am so proud of us. Seven glorious years. Four phenomenal seasons. The priceless gift of a family of people I love so much. And we did it on our terms. Chris Sheridan and our writers outdid themselves this season. If we have to say goodbye to Patience, this was the perfect way...So grateful for all the immense support from our fans. We love you.''

Actress Sara Tomko, who plays Asta Twelvetrees on Resident Alien, shared a bunch of photos from the sets with a heartfelt message, reflecting on the cancellation news and appreciating her time with the cast and crew:

“The news dropped today that our beloved series is coming to an end. It will take time for me to process and digest this fully.''

She added:

“Every season we were told how lucky we were to still have a job and I can say with full certainty that luck had nothing to do with it because this cast, our chemistry, our crew, our circumstances, our strength was always held up by an incredible team of writers, producers and our ever-growing fans whose unwavering loyalty kept us enduring.''

Lastly, Elizabeth Bowen, who plays Deputy Liv Baker on Resident Alien, also took to Threads and shared her thoughts on the bittersweet end to the series:

“We’re OK. We’ve been thinking that this season was probably our last ever since we got renewed for season 4. This is just confirmation. Thanks to everyone who has supported the show and continues to support us. We love you. Three more episodes.”

The Resident Alien Season 4 finale, titled The End is Here will premiere on August 8, 2025, marking a definitive end to the show.
