Resident Alien often showcases recurring character pairings that effectively highlight their dynamic chemistry. However, the third season introduced a fresh duo that proved unexpectedly delightful and deserves further exploration when the show returns. The unique interactions among the cast have significantly contributed to the show’s success, and with the exciting news of Resident Alien season 4, fans can look forward to revisiting the captivating residents of Patience, Colorado.
With season 4 on the horizon, a plethora of narrative directions await, particularly in terms of uncharted character alliances. Although season 3 consisted of only eight episodes, a record low for the series, it still delivered unique moments that added depth to the overarching storyline. One standout scene effectively showcases the comedic value of allowing two specific characters, Harry and D’arcy, to engage with one another away from the ensemble cast, presenting numerous possibilities for future episodes.
Harry & D’arcy: An Underrated & Underutilized Pairing
Alan Tudyk & Alice Wetterlund’s Rare Solo Scenes
In Resident Alien, Alan Tudyk’s character, Harry Vanderspeigle, usually partners with Asta Twelvetrees, portrayed by Sara Tomko, establishing a profound connection that justifies their frequent collaboration. Yet, the series has experimented with alternative pairings, yielding fantastic results. One such pairing involves Alice Wetterlund’s D’arcy Bloom alongside Tudyk’s Harry. The chemistry between Harry and D’arcy might seem unexpected, but their interactions brilliantly embody the show’s unique blend of humor and drama.
Another prominent duo is Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowden), whose professional relationship is well-established. However, their encounters work seamlessly without the narrative necessity pulling them together. For a considerable time, D’arcy and Harry lacked meaningful interactions. Fortunately, after D’arcy discovered Harry’s extraterrestrial identity in season 2, the duo has been offered more opportunities to collaborate.

Watch the Scene Here
Harry and D’arcy’s first significant storyline occurred in the initial season when their brief romantic involvement was clearly one-sided, with Harry showing no genuine interest in D’arcy. This tense setup did not lend itself to further storytelling; however, season 3 brought about an exciting change in dynamic. In episode 2, titled “The Upper Hand,”Harry and D’arcy infiltrated Joseph Rainer’s apartment, leading to misunderstandings and comedic exchanges that highlighted their unique bond.
Without the stabilizing presence of Asta, it became evident that Harry and D’arcy not only lack direction but also thrive on chaos. Their exchanges were a stark contrast to their initial awkwardness—rapid-fire insults and humorous banter replaced the forced romantic undertones and led to one of the show’s funniest moments.
Why Harry & D’arcy Make an Ideal Pairing
Similarities in Character Traits
Within the quirky universe of Resident Alien, many characters are notably reticent, seldom expressing their innermost thoughts for fear of judgment. Harry’s alien nature, which often causes him to behave unpredictably and obliviously to social norms, starkly contrasts this timidity. However, D’arcy also exhibits a similar tendency to express her opinions boldly.
Rather than forgiving Harry’s socially awkward behavior as others do, D’arcy responds instinctively to his provocations. This creates a humorous cycle of insults, making for engaging dialogue that consistently entertains viewers. While this dynamic might hinder the plot’s progression, the sheer hilarity of their interactions justifies more scenes that allow the two to shine together.
While seasons 1 and 2 of Resident Alien are available on Netflix, all three seasons can be streamed on Peacock.
As D’arcy continues to challenge Harry, their relationship should spark even more comedic gold in upcoming episodes, showcasing the potential for hilarious scenarios and character development.

D’arcy’s Critical Role in the Battle Against the Greys
D’arcy concludes season 3 with a heroic act, rescuing the Hawthorne baby from the Grey Aliens’ ship, underlining her evolving role within the narrative. As season 4 approaches, she will find herself thrust into action once more, especially with new threats emerging, including the Mantid. With the Greys still posing a significant danger and a new adversary on the horizon, D’arcy must remain central to the unfolding drama.
Following Harry’s revelations regarding the Greys, the townspeople will unite against the impending threat, leading to more opportunities for Harry and D’arcy to engage together in pivotal moments. This increased collaboration promises to deliver even more Resident Alien highlights, as the duo navigates this challenging landscape.
