“Resident Alien ss 3”: release date, announcement
Officially, the fantastic TV series “Resident Alien” has been renewed for season 3 and there is no talk of closing the project either. It makes no sense to close the TV show after showing 2 seasons, which received the love of the audience and a large number of nominations and awards.Filming for the new episodes began in July 2022. The exact date of their premiere has not yet been announced, but most likely it will happen in mid-summer 2023!
Plot
The alien remained on Earth to observe the earth’s civilization, and later to destroy people and prepare the planet for settlement by his kind. To do this, he found a man, killed him, adopted his appearance and stayed to live in his house. The victim was Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, whose last years were spent in solitude with nature, in a cozy, quiet house on the river bank.
Soon the local police came to Harry, asking to examine the body of the local doctor, who had died a few hours earlier. The cops hoped that Harry would help them understand the cause of the man’s death. And indeed, in the 1st episode of the 1st season, the investigation moved off the ground and the details of the last minutes of the life of the deceased became known.
Asta became interested in solving the crime — the doctor’s assistant, who was against the version that her boss killed himself. In life, the girl tried to seek the truth, so she so fiercely clung to the opportunity to learn about the death of the doctor.

Four months ago, Asta left a guy she had been dating for many years. In her youth, she gave birth to him, but having no means of subsistence, she had to give the baby to a foster family. All these years, Asta believed that if she broke off relations, then separation from the child would lose its meaning. But one day, when she saw a spaceship hovering above the earth, she decided to change and start life anew.
Her acquaintance with Harry happened just at the moment when she needed to pick up things from the house of a former roommate. Fearing to be beaten again, Asta asks the newly minted doctor to help her. Vanderspeigle does not think for a long time: he breaks the door, causes damage to the enemy and takes everything that Asta needed. Thus, their warm friendship was born. Harry later becomes her new boss.
Sometimes there are people who are able to see the true appearance of a humanoid. And our hero is not lucky with the very first patient, which becomes a young, impressionable boy. How will Vanderspeigle get away? Kill the child, as well as the owner of his current form? Or try to make friends?
