At one time, Syfy had numerous original scripted series but, over time, they’ve gotten rid of most of them. Will this new Resident Alien series have a long life or, will it be cancelled too? Will it be renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A sci-fi comedy series, the Resident Alien TV show is based on the Dark Horse comic series and stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, and Levi Fiehler. Recurring cast members include Linda Hamilton, Meredith Garretson, Elizabeth Bowen, Mandell Maughan, Alex Barima, Jenna Lamia, and Judah Prehn.
