Alan Tudyk, "Resident Alien's" star, is pulling double duty for the show's fourth season. As well as the incarcerated Harry Vanderspeigle we know and love, he also takes on the malevolent Mantid pretending to be him back on Earth. The head-eating insect is clearly up to no good, meaning the real Harry needs to work out away to escape the cell and get back to his adopted planet as soon as possible.
If that wasn't an ordeal enough, it's also been revealed ahead of the season 4 premiere that we'll also meet Harry's father over the course of the 10-episode run. Doesn't sound so bad? Unfortunately, the reunion is motivated by Harry senior's (played by popular character actor Stephen Root) intention to get his son to return to his wicked alien ways.
Can Harry overcome this twin evil? Here's everything you need to watch "Resident Alien" season 4 online and stream episodes from wherever you are in the world.
