When it comes to fan-favorite Resident Alien, well, the good news is that the fourth season finale is now available to stream on Peacock. The bad news? The season finale was actually the series finale. Here’s everything you need to know about the future of Resident Alien.
How Many Episodes Are There of Resident Alien Season 4?

Where To Watch Resident Alien Online:
The first three seasons of Resident Alien are streaming on Netflix, and all four seasons of the series are available on Peacock. You can also watch the fourth season on the USA Network website.
Will There Be a Season 5 of Resident Alien?
Unfortunately, no. In July, TV Insider reported that Resident Alien would end with the fourth season finale.
“I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season,” 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. 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.”
But perhaps it’s not goodbye but more of a “see ya later” situation? Both Sheridan and star Alan Tudyk have talked about their desire to revisit the series in a few years.
“I asked Michael Sluchan (who’s running Versant and heads up the USA folk) if, down the line, a movie of some sort or something, if they’d be open to it. He said yes,” Sheridan told TVLine during a recent interview. “They’ve done a bunch of movies over there. They’ve done a few Psych movies. They’ve done a Monk movie. I asked them if they would consider doing one for us and they said definitely. You can’t launch a movie next week, but you wait a couple of years and I think the audience will still be there for it. I know very much the cast would love to come back and do something and I would definitely be open to that.”
All four seasons of Resident Alien are now streaming on Peacock.
