Resident Alien season 4 will see the sci-fi show return a little over a year after the events of season 3. The show continues to follow Harry Vanderspeigle (Tudyk), an alien who initially arrives to destroy Earth, but ends up protecting it from other extraterrestrial threats. The show also focuses on his human friends within Patience, Colorado and the various storylines they go through, some of which tie into his efforts to safeguard the planet.

Now, USA has released a recap of Resident Alien seasons 1 through 3 from Tudyk's Harry ahead of season 4's premiere. The video focuses on how Harry found his place within Earth, also highlighting friends who know of his identity, like Asta (Sara Tomko), D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund), and Max (Judah Prehn). It also highlights how Harry saved the world from the Greys' plan to destroy the planet, alongside the season 3 cliffhanger of him being in prison while a Mantid (Clancy Brown) takes his place on Earth. Check out the full recap below:

What Resident Alien's Recap Says About Season 4

The Show Isn't Done With Its Major Storylines

Resident Alien season 3 ended with Harry and his son, Bridget, trapped in the Greys' prison on the Moon, signaling they'll still be a threat despite having their plans thwarted. This is largely due to the Mantid now taking his place on Earth, something only Max has discovered so far. But, given the allegiances of the characters so far, it seems like the secret of what happened to the protagonist won't remain that way for very long. It also means other aliens' plans for the planet are far from done, no matter what they may be.

The recap also emphasized some smaller events, such as Harry's relationship with Heather (Edi Patterson), a Blue Avian that tricked him into helping the Greys. This could signal their relationship storyline will have a core focus in season 4. The episodes will also be introducing Harry's alien father, portrayed by Stephen Root, indicating his alien race will be coming back into the picture. For now, though, it seems his most important course of action is getting back to Earth and stopping the Mantid, uncovering what plans the other aliens have for Resident Alien's characters.

Offers Plenty Of Preparation For The Show's Next Chapter

Resident Alien's recap emphasizes the important story beats that have happened in the show so far, offering all the major elements necessary to understand the series' story upon its return. With Harry trapped on the Moon, the Mantid on Earth, and other aliens with their own plans for the planet, it seems like season 4 will have many interesting elements to explore. The show's return means the resolution to these storylines will be happening sooner rather than later.
