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.
