“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 TV world is changing in a big way, and I feel like because we’re canceled now, we will become an existing IP, which then could be revived. So the quickest way to get a next season is to be canceled, oddly.”
It used to be that if a show was canceled, that would be it. But nowadays, that’s not necessarily the case, with quite a few that have been saved. Could Resident Alien be one of them?
Sheridan hesitated when asked about if the show will be shopped around before explaining, “That has not been a discussion. … If we weren’t able to tell our story the way we wanted to, that is something I think that we’d want to do. But I think because this season is what it is and, in such a beautiful way, finishes telling the story after four seasons, I think just hopping into a fifth season somewhere else doesn’t feel right for the show.”
