Alan Tudyk has been part of some amazing science fiction projects in the last few years. It started with Hoban ‘Wash’ Washburne in Firefly and its spin-off Serenity; in recent years he has starred in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the smash hit Doom Patrol. He will be a treat to watch in what seems to be a fun sci-fi adventure. Along with him, Resident Alien will also feature Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, and Levi Fiehler.

The series is based on a Dark Horse comic series written by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. The comic has five miniseries with a sixth one on its way. If the television show receives positive reactions, there are high chances that it will be renewed for a couple more seasons.
