Season two isn’t even over yet, but Syfy has already decided to stay in the Resident Alien business. The popular show starring Alan Tudyk as an alien in human disguise returns for the second half of its second season next month—and will be back again for a third season.
Based on the Dark Horse comic by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, Resident Alien follows Harry Vanderspeigle (Tudyk), a small-town doctor who’s actually an alien with a mission to destroy humanity. By the end of season one, Harry has come around and no longer wants to kill everyone. Season two’s summary says:
On his new quest to protect the people of Earth, Harry struggles to hold on to his alien identity as his human emotions grow stronger by the day. In an adventure that takes Harry and Asta (Sara Tomko) all the way to New York City, Asta brings Harry into the arms of someone he can call family. Back in Patience, Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) find themselves closer to unraveling the mystery of Sam Hodges’s murder.
The first half of season two ended with some very dramatic events; the second half picks up right after that, but I shan’t spoil it for you!
Resident Alien was adapted for television by Chris Sheridan (Family Guy). Season two returns on August 10th.
