Series lead Alan Tudyk reacted to the news on social media, along with others in the Resident Alien cast, and shared warm sentiments about his time as Harry Vanderspeigle. But even though the final episode functions as a fitting farewell to the sci-fi dramedy, that may not be the end of the story.

James Gunn’s Supermanhas already grossed nearly half a billion dollars since its July 11 premiere. In the film, starring David Corenswet as the titular Man of Steel, the robots stationed at Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, particularly Robot 4, play a large part in the movie.

Now, the actor who voiced Robot 4, Alan Tudyk, is opening up about one of the movie’s final scenes in which Robot 4 wants to take on a new name - Gary. Tudyk reposted a Thread from user vanderdyks in which he explains that the name “Gary” was actually an ad-lib.

Post by @vanderdyks View on Threads

When Tudyk was asked if he ad libbed the name he gave Robot 4, he replied, “I did!” He then went on to explain how it all happened on set.

“It’s like, why am I (Robot) 4? And it’s a funny reason why he’s 4. It’s that Superman was making robots.

After Resident Alien was officially canceled, its creator and stars are speaking out about the ending. Having premiered in 2021, the show is an adaptation of Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse's comic series. It stars Alan Tudyk as alien invader Harry Vanderspeigle, Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees, Alice Wetterlund as D'arcy Bloom, and more.

Unfortunately, while the Syfy show managed to earn incredible reviews from critics, it never captured widespread audience attention. NBCUniversal repeatedly considered ending the show and eventually pulled the plug on July 25, meaning that Harry's malicious mission is coming to an abrupt end. Fortunately, the cast and crew planned ahead.

Creator Chris Sheridan and star Sara Tomko (Asta Twelvetrees) spoke with ScreenRant in an interview at San Diego Comic-Con and discussed the cancellation. Sheridan explained that the cast and crew were "prepared for this", even if Tomko believes that it is "surreal to work on something for...

For Resident Alien‘s cast and showrunner, San Diego Comic-Con 2025 was a bittersweet one. Yes, they got to go out and celebrate the show with its popular fanbase, but it was also for the last time. TV Insider broke the news on Thursday, July 24, just one day before the series’ panel, that Resident Alien was canceled and would be ending with its current fourth season. “We want [fans] to know we love them and that they can do anything that they put their minds to except make a fifth season,” Alice Wetterlund said when she, Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, and creator Chris Sheridan stopped by TV Insider and TV Guide Magazine’s Comic-Con studio. Watch the full video interview above. “It’s a weird goodbye because the show’s very popular. By all metrics from a different time, that would assure another season,” noted Tudyk. “It’s just in this climate,...

The team behind Resident Alien is still coming to terms with the sci-fi show’s end after its cancellation was revealed midway through season four.

Ahead of Resident Alien’s season four finale airing Aug. 8 on USA Network and Syfy, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Thursday that the series has been canceled. Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds and Alice Wetterlund are among the stars of the project that centers on Harry (Tudyk), an alien who lands on Earth and assumes the identity of a small-town doctor while developing a fondness for mankind.

“It is bittersweet,” Reynolds tells THR during a video interview with the show’s team from San Diego Comic-Con. “We’re all grateful for the opportunity. With what we know about what’s coming in the storytelling [in] these last three episodes, it creates the perfect environment for someone to come in and watch our show from top...

For four years, sci-fi fans have watched Alan Tudyk further solidify himself as a sci-fi legend after his stint in the fan-favorite Firefly by portraying the extraterrestrial Harry Vanderspeigle in Syfy/USA Network's Resident Alien. Unfortunately, despite critical acclaim, the show will end its run after the conclusion of Season 4, but there may still be a light at the end of the tunnel.

At Comic-Con International in San Diego, Cbr Senior Producer/Lead Host Grae Drake sat down with Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, and showrunner Chris Sheridan to discuss all things Resident Alien. "Actually getting to Season 4 and through Season 4, I think, is an accomplishment in and of itself," Sheridan explained. "I can't believe I'm saying that because I'm heartbroken over the fact that it's over. I was shocked." Tomko then chimed in, cheekily adding that "maybe in the future, we'll do a movie."

What Is Resident Alien About?...

Resident Alienhas been making audiences laugh and care for Harry, the alien, for four seasons. Led by Alan Tudyk, the series takes us to Patience, a sleepy town that has a lot of drama. Especially because there is an alien among them. But Harry has built a life there. He has a relationship with Asta (Sara Tomko), and now that people like Darcy (Alice Wetterlund) know Harry's secret. But Season 4 took everything one step forward: He's more human now than ever before. Harry used the body of the town doctor when he first landed in Patience, but now he's human himself! But what we learned prior to the panel was sad for fans as the series will be ending after Season 4.

At San Diego Comic-Con the cast and crew took to the stage to give us some insight into the series and where Harry and all his friends are going...

The series, starring Alan Tudyk as an alien who crash-lands on Earth with a directive to destroy the human race but quickly changes his mind after seeing how cuddly and adorable we all are, has been a favorite among critics and fans since debuting on the Syfy network in 2021. But with so many viewing options available to anyone with an internet connection, it's gotten harder and harder for shows to hang onto viewers' attention, and the series' move to the USA Network for its current and final fourth season proved to be its death knell.

Tudyk went on to reveal his extraterrestrial character Harry Vanderspiegle’s fate while poking fun at his cult classic series Firefly. “Although we did get more than 14 episodes like some other shows I was on — and even though no spoilers, I don’t die at the end,” he joked, referring to his Firefly character Hoban “Wash” Washburne’s death in the 2005 follow-up film, Serenity. Several of Tudyk’s Resident Alien costars appeared in the brief video, including Alice Wetterlund,...

Stephen Root’s portrayal of Harry Vanderspeigle’s father in Resident Alien Season 4, Episode 7, Daddy Issues, arrives like a thunderclap in the quiet mountain town where extraterrestrial and human lives intertwine. This guest appearance, long anticipated since April when it was announced that Alan Tudyk and Root (Dodgeball co-stars) would share the screen once again, didn’t disappoint.

Root’s Ed Vanderspeigle, the executor of Harry’s alien essence, delivers a brutal ultimatum: Harry must kill a human to reclaim his power. Root described this toxic paternal relationship with brutal honesty, telling USA Insider:

From my point-of-view as the alien dad, the crux of the show is, ‘Are you a human or are you an alien?’ Because they’re two different ethical spaces there and we know what I want [Harry] to do, but I think he’s become a little too human to go there. So I think that’s the crux of the show.

After learning that his dad had the power to give him back his energy, Harry went on a mission to figure out how to get his it back in Resident Alien season 4 episode 7. Meanwhile, Mike went on a mission to figure out the identity of the Mantid.

It really does feel like this season is going to be the last. Dan returns with advice to Asta to leave town, and he’s not the only one with that advice. Are we seeing characters realize that it’s time to move on from the small-town life of Patience?

Well, for Harry, he continues to learn more about being human. And for Mike, he is delving deeper and deeper into the world of aliens, as Kate and Ben figure out what to tell people about their daughter suddenly turning up.
