There is a lot much you need to know about the upcoming Resident Alien Season 3, if you reached here. With a cleverly written script and performances to match, it’s no wonder SYFY’s Resident Alien has been so successful. The show provides plenty of laughs courtesy of its lead character Harry (played by Alan Tudyk), who just happens to be an alien stranded on Earth. Despite the hurdles he faces in learning to “be human,” Harry is nonetheless relatable and likable – two qualities that have helped make the show a hit. Resident Alien has been so successful that SYFY picked it up for a third season ahead of the show’s return for the second half of season 2. Here is everything we know about Resident Alien Season 3 so far.
What we know about Resident Alien TV Series
Resident Alien is a television series that premiered on SYFY in January 2021. The series is based on the comic book series of the same name by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. It stars Alan Tudyk as Harry, an alien who crash-lands on Earth and assumes the identity of a human doctor in the small town of Patience, Colorado. As he tries to figure out how to repair his ship and return home, Harry becomes embroiled in the town’s mysteries and slowly assimilates to life on Earth.
The first season of Resident Alien was met with positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an 83% approval rating with an average score of 7.5/10 based on 22 reviews. The site’s critical consensus reads, “An enjoyably off-kilter blend of genres; Resident Alien uses Alan Tudyk’s ample charisma to bring its fish-out-of-water premise to charming life.”
The series was renewed for a second season on March 26, 2021, ahead of the season 1 finale. The second season premiered on January 26, 2022. Resident Alien Season 3 is currently developing and is expected to premiere in 2023.

Why did the Syfy network renew Resident Alien for Season 3
The Syfy series Resident Alien has had an impressive run, averaging 2.3 million viewers in L+7 and garnering a spot as one of the top 15 most-watched cable dramas this year. The show was recently nominated for the Hollywood Critics Association’s “Best Comedy Series” category – quite an accomplishment considering its 11 million viewer base. Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg of Dark Horse Entertainment, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank of Amblin TV serve as resident Alien’s executive producers.
Resident Alien Season 3 Release Date and Plot Speculation
The Syfy network has not confirmed the exact release date of Resident Alien Season 3 as of July 22, 2022. However, the series was renewed just a few hours ago and is confirmed to have 12 episodes. It is speculated that production will begin in a scheduled manner like the last two seasons. So fans seem assured that the upcoming season is not delayed and will be released sooner than anticipated, as the network made the renewal announcement on time.
Our best guess for the release date is early 2023. Based on when previous seasons came out, it’s likely that we’ll see the first episode sometime around January of that year. But this is all just speculation at this point— nothing has been confirmed yet. The Syfy network will announce official release dates soon, which fans should keep an eye out for.
We can’t predict the show’s specific plotlines for the upcoming season since we don’t know how the current season will end. However, it’s been predicted that the new season will pick up any cliffhangers and subplots from the previous one and jump directly into this realm, offering viewers something new to consider instead of the usual themes.
Many people have been drawn to watch the series when it airs on television or through a streaming service because many of its episodes have garnered positive reviews from viewers. It’ll be interesting to see how they respond to the increased pressure and add a new element to the series.
