It is based on the comic book of the same name, following alien Harry after he crash lands in a small town in Colorado and befriends the locals.
Unfortunately for his new pals, it turns he’s actually on a secret mission to kill everyone on Earth, but is forced to blend into his surroundings by pretending to be a doctor.

The cast and showrunner Chris Sheridan have now addressed the cancellation at a San Diego Comic Con panel, with Alice Wetterlund, who plays D’arcy Bloom, addressing the ‘disarray’ in the TV industry.
She said to the crowd in Hall H (via Variety): ‘We know that you guys deserve more than you’re getting on a lot of shows and movies.
‘The industry is in disarray and it’s been disrupted. Thanks, tech. In a world where TV were normal, we could have way more.
‘The only reason that’s not true is not because anybody behind the show doesn’t want it. It’s because the way the industry works now. You guys deserve more of this.’
‘I’ve rewatched this show many times and it still makes me laugh,’ Bildad T agreed.
Diana R hailed: ‘This is my favorite show by far!! I could and do watch all seasons on repeat.
‘The humor and acting are top notch! Looking forward to more seasons!!!’
As Elizabeth C added: ‘Resident Alien is scifi humor at its best. Sometimes shows like this diminish as the seasons go on, but I was exceedingly happy to see that Season 4 is just as good as the previous seasons.’
