Status: Deadline is reporting that Resident Alien is unlikely to get a fourth season at Syfy and that it could move over to sister cable network USA which is considering getting back into the scripted programming game. However, that move could come with a budget cut of $500K per episode. The show only averaged a 0.06 rating based on same-day viewing for the 18-49 demo in its third year, and Syfy in general has been having trouble drawing viewers to its original series. Resident Alien did see pretty strong viewership on Netflix when its first two seasons were released there in February, and there are also talks of the show possibly moving to that streamer. For now, though, I am shifting it to Bubble status and fans should definitely make some noise on the social networks to support this series.
