Harry Vanderspeigle, the alien posing as a small-town doctor, is in for another round of human missteps when Resident Alien returns Friday, June 27, 2025, at 11:00 PM ET on USA Network. The fourth episode of Season 4, titled “Truth Hurts,” is set to bring back Heather, the alien tracker, for a reunion with Harry that is anything but straightforward.

The USA Network series has always thrived on Harry’s often-clumsy attempts to understand and blend in with humanity, and his relationship with Heather has been a particular source of both comedy and occasional chaos. This new meeting is unlikely to smooth any rough edges. Viewers can count on the show’s signature mix of dark humor and sci-fi absurdity as Harry again grapples with his conflicted feelings about Earth’s inhabitants.

At its core, Resident Alien keeps asking whether humanity is worth saving, a question Harry continues to face even as he gets tangled in more human affairs. The show’s ongoing success comes from its ability to balance weighty philosophical questions with lighthearted, often bizarre, comedic moments. Expect more of the quirky relationship drama that makes this series a stand-out.
