Resident Alien
2021
CAST ALAN TUDYK, SARA TOMKO, COREY REYNOLDS, ALICE WETTERLUND
CREATOR CHRIS SHERIDAN
A twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story that follows a crash-landed alien named Dr. Harry (Alan Tudyk) who, after taking on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission of destruction on Earth. This leads him to ponder the question: “Are human beings actually worth saving instead of obliterating?”
Resident Alien is developed for SYFY by writer-showrunner Chris Sheridan, from the Dark Horse comic book. Joining Tudyk in the cast are Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds and Alice Wetterlund.
Harry and the residents of Patience, Colorado, will all return in a second season.
