Resident Alien approaches its Season 4 finale. Will it be the finale of the show as well? Here's what Chris Sheridan had to say.
Since its premiere in January 2021, Resident Alien has been a wild ride. The show quickly became a fan favorite thanks to its humor and sci-fi elements. As we approach the Season 4 finale, viewers are wondering if this will be the last we see of our favorite characters.
Sad news for ‘Resident Alien’ fans: the Season 4 finale will mark the end of the show.
Chris Sheridan Confirmed ‘Resident Alien’ Cancellation
In a recent talk with TV Insider, series creator Chris Sheridan shared his thoughts on the show's conclusion.
“I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season. Creatively, that was exciting because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending,” he said.
Good news: the final episode promises to be very good.
“I'm so proud of how good Season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did, with a finale that is probably my favorite episode of the series,” Sheridan confirmed.
Sheridan's tease gave us a tiny bit of hope. He claims that the finale “gives Resident Alien a very satisfying ending while also leaving the door cracked open for any future this world may have. I can't wait for everyone to see it.”
The cancellation of Resident Alien is yet another confirmation of a frustrating trend. Unconventional, creative shows with loyal followings often end up on the chopping block while formulaic content continues to dominate.
Fans Are Disappointed by ‘Resident Alien’ Cancellation
“Yeah, let's take one of the top shows we have and kill it dead. This kind of thinking is exactly why the US is quickly becoming the world leader in nothing,” Redditor sockpoppit wrote.
“11 seasons of Shameless, but we can't get 6 seasons and a movie for Resident Alien. Ffs,” another fan, QuantumBurritoz on Reddit pointed out.
“This is devastating, however, I'm very glad to see that the writers expected this to be the last season so they said there's going to be a satisfying conclusion to storylines. I hope it ties everything off neatly,” Redditor Loopoo700 said.
When Will the ‘Resident Alien’ Finale Come Out?
The final episode of Resident Alien is set on August 8.
