No Season 5 for Alan Tudyk's 'Resident Alien'

The sci-fi dramedy Resident Alien, starring Alan Tudyk as alien Harry Vanderspeigle, will conclude with its series finale airing on August 8, 2025.
The show reached its fourth season after moving from SyFy to USA Network and navigating budget cuts, but the network decided to cancel it due to modest ratings and limited streaming traction.
Creator Chris Sheridan, who knew season 4 might be the final one, expressed pride in finishing strong and shaping a satisfying finale that closes the story arc begun in season 1.
Resident Alien holds a 98% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, yet season 4 remained a modest performer on cable and streaming, with Sheridan calling the finale probably his favorite episode.
The finale delivers a satisfying ending while leaving the door open for possible future stories, suggesting a respectful closure for fans despite the cancellation decision.
