<p>The sci-fi comedy, based on the comic of the same name, debuted in 2021 on SyFy and now, Resident Alien has been canceled ahead of its upcoming fourth season finale.</p>
<p>"I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season," series creator and showrunner Chris Sheridan told TV Insider. "Creatively, that was exciting because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending."</p>
<p>He continued, "I'm so proud of how good season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did."</p>
<p>The show stars Alan Tudyk as an extraterrestrial who crashes on Earth, intending to wipe out humanity. After disguising himself as a doctor named Harry Vanderspeigle, he falls in love with the residents of the small Colorado town where his ship landed, and rethinks his mission of destruction.</p>
<p>So why is Resident Alien canceled? Here's what to know about the series ending after four seasons, and what the actors have said about the news.</p>

<p>While a reason has not been given for Resident Alien ending, Deadline reported that the series "came close to cancellation after Season 3." It ultimately scored a renewal, but with a budget reduction and a move from SyFy to USA Network.</p>
<p>According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network change was "in hopes to expand its audience." The outlet also reported that Resident Alien received a boost in viewers after the first three seasons were added to Netflix in summer 2024.</p>
