Resident Alien isn’t over just yet. Last summer, fans of the sci-fi comedy were admittedly gutted when they were told the show’s fate. After four years on the air, SyFy announced Resident Alien was finished as season four would be its last. The sudden announcement left fans in limbo as they quickly rallied behind the show, and all their prayers have been (somewhat) answered.
After all, Resident Alien is about to bring a proper planned series finale to its legion of fans. Dark Horse Comics will unveil the story’s exciting ending in a new comic, and a first-look at Resident Alien: One More for the Road is now live.
Resident Alien Is Ready To Unleash a Proper Planned Finale
As you can see below, Resident Alien is getting creative with its series finale. The sci-fi hit may not be able to command audiences on TV, but it has found a loyal following in print. Slated for release on April 15, Resident Alien: One More for the Road volume 10 promises to put Harry in the hotspot as the hidden alien tries to keep his secret identity safe one last time.
Written by Peter Hogan with art by Steve Parkhouse, this new Resident Alien entry is set to give fans the series finale TV robbed them off. You can read up on the one-shot’s official synopsis below for all the details before this ending goes live:
Dark Horse Comics
“Former federal agent Jones and the alien representatives from Harry’s home planet are inviting nations beyond the U.S. to work with them in helping Earth join the Circle of Worlds. Meanwhile, in Patience, Harry covers for Ethan at the clinic, but danger is closing in. Will Harry’s secret finally be revealed? Find out in this one-shot finale, as Hogan and Parkhouse’s hit sci-fi series comes to a close!
The series grand finale to the hit sci-fi series!
Hogan and Parkhouse find their curious, compassionate alien with a family and otherworldly visitors!

Resident Alien’s Original Ending Holds Up Very Well

As you can see, Resident Alien’s upcoming comic volume will be a treat for fans. However, if you would rather stick with the show’s original ending, that is no problem. Resident Alien was axed without any warning, but behind the scenes, showrunner Chris Sheridan expected the blow alongside his writers. The team went into Resident Alien season four expecting it to be canceled, so they approached its story accordingly.
“The End Is Here” is not only appropriately titled, but the episode holds up well as a series finale. Season four ends with Harry coming full circle as an alien assassin who’s been touched by humanity. He chooses to leave Earth and return home to his family while Asta leaves Patience to do humanitarian work like she dreamed. Resident Alien was careful to wrap season four on an emotional high, and it made sure to leave fans wanting more. The finale did end with a new alien’s arrival on Earth, teasing a new adventure for Harry’s race and the whole of humanity. Now, Resident Alien is getting a second shot at its series finale with Dark Horse’s help, so die-hard fans will not want to miss this rare opportunity.
