Fans of Resident Alien can rejoice as Netflix has confirmed the release of Season 3 of the hit series, which will be available exclusively in the United States. This announcement comes after the show’s surprise addition to Netflix in February 2024, where it quickly gained popularity and featured prominently in the platform's top 10 lists.
Originally aired on Syfy, Resident Alien stars Alan Tudyk as an alien who crash-lands on Earth and must navigate life while keeping his true identity a secret. The show has garnered a dedicated fanbase, and its first two seasons were added to Netflix on February 13, 2024, following reports from TVLine earlier that month. While other regions, primarily in Europe and India, received only Season 1, the U.S. audience will soon have access to the complete third season.
Season 3 of Resident Alien aired on Syfy from February to April 2024 and featured a reduced episode count, dropping from 16 episodes in Season 2 to just 8 in Season 3. Despite the fewer episodes, the show maintained its appeal, ranking as the second most-watched show on Netflix in the U.S. shortly after its addition. It also achieved significant global viewership, accumulating 67.80 million hours watched and approximately 8.9 million views during its peak.
All eight episodes of Resident Alien Season 3 are set to drop on February 13, 2025, on Netflix US. Following this release, Netflix will retain the show for at least another two years, with its current expiration date set for February 2027. There is speculation that this date may be extended if Netflix decides to license a potential fifth season.
As fans prepare for the arrival of Season 3, they can also look forward to the fourth season of Resident Alien, which is scheduled to air on USA Network in June 2024. Filming for the new season began in early December 2024 in Vancouver and is expected to wrap up in March 2025.
In addition to the upcoming seasons, Dark Horse Comics has announced a new comic series titled The Book of Life, which will expand the storyline of Resident Alien and focus on the character Harry Vanderspeigle. This series will consist of four issues, further enriching the show's universe for fans.
With the confirmation of Resident Alien Season 3's release on Netflix, fans have much to look forward to in the coming months. The show's unique blend of humor and science fiction continues to resonate with audiences, and the expansion into comics offers even more content for dedicated fans. As the series transitions to USA Network for its fourth season, the excitement surrounding Resident Alien is sure to grow.
