There’s more pizza in sight!Resident Alienhas announced its Season 2 premiere on January 26th on both the USA and SYFY networks. The sci-fi comedy series, adapted from the Dark Horse comic book by the same name, came in at the #1 spot as a new cable series in 2021 and even became one of TV’s most-watched dramas over the year. The series will take a bit of a break with a mid-season finale to air on March 16 and will then pick up with more episodes at a yet-to-be-announced date over the summer. StarringAlan Tudyk(Firefly) andSara Tomko(Journey to the Center of the Earth), the fan-favorite comedic science fiction show gained a huge following during its first season with no signs of slowing down.
The first season introduced the extraterrestrial named Harry (Tudyk), who was sent by his home planet on a secret expedition to wipe out the human race. But when his ship crashes into the earth instead of the graceful landing he was hoping for, he needs to find a way to fit in while still planning to carry out his mission.
In the newest season, we see Harry still stuck on Earth where he is dealing with his change of heart to not wipe out mankind. He is now a reformed being, wanting to protect the people he once wanted to kill. As he settles more into his human form and starts to feel the wide array of emotions that humans struggle with, his alien identity starts to fade.
