How to watch Resident Alien season 4 online or on TV from around the world

Resident Alien season 4 brings back the sci-fi series on Friday, June 6, and it's seeing a change of release schedule that fans will need to pay attention to.

In Resident Alien, Alan Tudyk plays Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, a small-town doctor... who's also an alien that crash-landed on Earth and is now hiding there.

In season 4 he's got to escape from a base on the moon along with his young charge, and then square off against the creature that's taken over his body. AT the same time the townspeople are hiding secrets and chasing dead bodies.

So here's how to watch Resident Alien season 4, and past seasons if you need to catch up.
