I just watched the last episode of Season 3 of Resident Alien and found
myself wondering if that was a season finale or a series finale? They
certainly resolved *some* plot lines but other things were left
dangling.

I'm trying to find Robin's post where she laid out this week's TV
viewing and came up empty, thanks to the many weaknesses in Claws Mail.
She normally says if something is a series or season finale.

Futon Critic says it hasn't yet been renewed for a fourth season, which
makes it sound like a fourth season is at least possible. Does anyone
know if a fourth season is desired by the producers or has everyone
already gone their separate ways?

I'm pretty sure it was season finale, but I could be mistaken. Oh wait,
let me check her FB post...

Nope didn't find it easily. Maybe anim knows when she posted it.

Well, I'm here. I listed it as a season finale because The Futon Critic
doesn't have any info on season 4, yay or nay.

Here's a story from Syfy from yesterday:

Resident Alien Creator Explains the [Spoiler] Threat and Teases More
Alan Roles

https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/resident-alien-showrunner-teases-more-roles-for-alan-tudyk

At one point it says "Max (Judah Prehn) and Sahar (Gracelyn Awad Rinke)
have uncovered the ruse as he can see the true forms of aliens, which
means trouble for the town and the two kids in Season 4," suggesting
there will be a season 4.

But at another point the article says "As part of our exclusive
postmortem with Resident Alien showrunner Chris Sheridan, SYFY WIRE
asked if this means audiences should look forward to yet another
character for Alan Tudyk to embody if the show gets another pickup? And
the answer is, 'Yes!'," meaning that season 4 hasn't been ordered yet.

So I think not yet, but strongly possible is the answer.

Much appreciated, Robin! Now I have at least *some* reason for optimism

I thought the show as pretty amusing but it's kinda run it's course I think.
that finale really tried to pack a lot into a single episode. They jumped
around so quick and tried to get some time for everybody. It was lucky
anyone could follow it.

I can't deny any of that. It's not at all clear where it will - or
should - go if it is renewed and that last episode WAS rushed/packed.
It felt like they were doubtful about getting renewed and, with a
shorter season this time compared to season 2, they might have decided
it was time to finish most of the plot lines. But since they still
hoped for a renewal, they left Harry's fate up in the air so that they
could still write a continuation if the renewal happened.

If it had been renewed I am pretty sure the showrunner would
have mentioned it at the the Resident Alien panel at Wondercon
on Saturday. He did talk about some of his plans for season 4
which I think will make for a good next season.
