Third season of 'Resident Alien' - Extraterrestrial Love Story and Mysteries

Fans of the successful and popular Science-Fiction-Comedy series "Resident Alien" can look forward to new episodes. The humorous drama series starts on July 18 into its third season on Pay-TV channel Syfy. Every Thursday at 9 pm, the eight new episodes from Season three are broadcast in a weekly rhythm. Afterwards, the episodes are available on demand (e.g. at Sky).

The strange story of the Alien "Harry" (Alan Tudyk, 53), who intends to exterminate humanity, goes awry when this alien crashes near the small town of Patience in the US state of Colorado. Harry takes on the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, the new town doctor, and learns how to behave as a forensic pathologist from the popular, real-life series "Law & Order".

"Resident Alien": What's it about in the series

The Alien "Harry", whose real name is incomprehensible to humans, comes to Earth to free the planet from humanity. However, things don't go quite as planned, and the alien crashes near the town of Patience, Colorado. Harry assumes the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, and learns how to behave among humans by observing the popular TV show "Law & Order". But Harry can't quite hide his true identity, as he behaves clumsily among humans and not all human behavior can be learned from the television. Young Max (Judah Prehn, 13) is also able to recognize the true form of the shape-shifter. The alien, who becomes the new town doctor in Patience, initially wants to kill the boy because of this, but eventually develops an uneasy father-son relationship with him.

How did Season Two end

In the second season of "Resident Alien", events took a wild turn. For example, more residents of Patience, such as bartender D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund, 43), learned that Harry was actually an alien.

Harry also encountered another alien, Joseph (Enver Gjokaj, 44), a Grey-Hybrid, a mixture of human and Grey-Alien. The Greys will also play a prominent role in the third season of "Resident Alien".

However, in the new episodes of the Sci-Fi-Comedy, Harry decides to work with General McCallister ("Terminator"-Star Linda Hamilton, 67). Together, they aim to prevent the Grey-Aliens from carrying out their dark plans against humanity. Complicating this situation is the Grey-Hybrid Joseph, who takes a job as the new deputy-sheriff in Patience.

Alien Harry must juggle his business and personal life. In the new episodes, the Alien will also fall in love for the first time. This should not be revealed too much in advance, but viewers can look forward to typical Harry entanglements.

Nurse Asta (Sara Tomko, 40) and D'arcy move in together, which leads to many complicated situations, especially from the unpredictable bartender. Mayor Ben (Levi Fiehler) and his wife Kate (Meredith Garretson) struggle with the traumatic effects of their abduction by aliens, while Sheriff Mike Thompson (Corey Reynolds, 50) and Deputy Liv Baker (Elizabeth Bowen) continue their search for the murderer of the Alien-Tracker.

Is it worth the return of the Syfy series?

Fans of the show can enjoy the return of their favorite characters and the continuation of the intriguing storyline. The humor and sci-fi elements are well-balanced, making for an entertaining and engaging viewing experience. The addition of new characters and plot twists keeps the show fresh and exciting. Overall, the third season of "Resident Alien" is definitely worth watching for both new and returning viewers.

The third season of the show created by Chris Sheridan, the co-creator of "Family Guy" (56), continues to offer the familiar and beloved mix of thrilling Sci-Fi stories about aliens operating in secret, and down-to-earth stories about the endearing residents and inhabitants of the small town Patience.

The show is particularly noteworthy due to its leading actor Tudyk, who masterfully conveys the awkwardness of Alien Harry in social situations through his brilliant physical comedy and mining. In season three, Tudyk shares more scenes with the wonderful actor Gjokaj, who portrays the Grey-Hybrid Joseph. The romantic storyline of the alien also provides numerous comedic moments.

"Resident Alien" has already been renewed for a fourth season in the USA. Harry's adventures and escapades on the blue planet will continue beyond the current, third season.
