Resident Alien Moves to the USA Network with Season 4 Renewal
NBCUniversal announced the renewal of Resident Alien for a fourth season on June 18th, confirming that the show will now be aired on the USA Network, instead of Syfy Channel. The renewal was highly anticipated after the season 3 finale left the audiences shocked with the capture of Harry Vanderspeigle.
Resident Alien’s shift to the USA Network is part of the network’s strategy to venture back into scripting programming. The channel recently ordered another scripted series, an adaptation of the novel The Rainmaker, from Lionsgate and Blumhouse Productions. Meanwhile, USA Network shares one more series with Syfy, the horror comedy Chucky. Both channels are owned by NBCUniversal.
