Alan Tudyk-starring sci-fi comedy Resident Alien has released its fourth and final season in the UK.
Currently airing on NOW this side of the pond, season 4 sees Tudyk reprise the role of the titular alien for one last earthly hurrah.
Created by Chris Sheridan, the series is bowing out with one final batch of episodes, as critics are already mourning the end of “one of TV’s funniest and heartfelt shows” (via Paste magazine).
At the moment, Resident Alien has a perfect critic score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes out of six reviews, with the stellar rating likely to vary as more reviews come in.

Premiered in 2021, Resident Alien aired its series finale in the US just last week and is now making its way to UK fans’ screens.
Season 1 kicks off with Tudyk’s alien assuming the identity of Harry Vanderspeigle as he’s visiting Earth on a mission to annihilate the human race.

After crash-landing in Patience, Colorado, the alien kills and takes on the identity of the real Vanderspeigle, learns English and poses as a medical examiner after watching one too many episodes of Law & Order.
As he starts forming some bonds with the people of Patience, Harry involuntarily develops human emotions, having to rethink the original plan of mass destruction.
