With the final episode of Resident Alien airing in August 2025, a gap was left in the sci-fi TV landscape, but Apple TV+ has filled it with a new project.
Resident Alien, led by Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle, maintained its core cast throughout its four-season run. Despite often facing renewal uncertainty, showrunner Chris Sheridan was informed early on that season 4 would be the last, allowing him to craft a proper farewell for the characters.
While USA Network, the show's final platform, isn't particularly known for sci-fi, its original platform, Syfy, is. Apple TV+ has also established itself as a hub for sci-fi content, quietly specializing in the genre over the years.
