Get ready for some intergalactic thrills because the beloved Jewel Staite is set to join the cast of Resident Alien for its fourth season! This exciting news means fans can anticipate a fleeting yet delightful reunion with her fellow Firefly star, Alan Tudyk, who reprises his role as the crash-landed alien Harry Vanderspeigle.

For those unfamiliar, Resident Alien, based on the popular Dark Horse comics, follows Harry's misadventures on Earth after his mission to annihilate humanity gets derailed. Instead, he finds himself grappling with the complexities of human life, friendships, and unexpected plot twists.

Season 4 kicks off with Harry and his infant daughter, Bridget, imprisoned on the Grey Moonbase, where a shape-shifting alien known as a Mantid takes control of Harry's body on Earth, leading to a playful and tense scenario. Fans can expect thrilling developments as Harry manages to break free and head back home for a final confrontation, all while dealing with the consequences of the changes around him.

In a fresh twist, Staite will recur as Jules Gardner, an FBI agent with a shared past with Asta, D’Arcy, Ben, and Liv. She arrives in Patience to investigate a series of mysterious and possibly supernatural deaths that have left Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv puzzled. What secrets lie beneath these tragic events?

Mark your calendars! Though there’s no official premiere date yet, Season 4 will be simulcast on both USA Network and Syfy, ensuring that fans can catch all the action live.

Beyond her iconic role in Firefly and its sequel Serenity, Jewel Staite has made a name for herself with standout performances in series like Family Law, The Magicians, The Killing, and Stargate: Atlantis.
