Tremors has a new team player. Deadline reports John Ellison Conlee has joined the Syfy TV pilot.

Based on the 1990 film, the action drama revisits the town of Perfection 25 years later as the graboids have returned, “and the town’s only hope for survival is Valentine McKee (Kevin Bacon), who beat them once. But to do it again he’ll have to overcome age, alcohol and a delusional hero complex.”

On Tremors, Conlee will be playing Harlan, Val’s closest friend who is a former biotech worker and obsessed with graboids. Conlee joins fellow cast members Toks Olagundoye, Shiloh Fernandez, Emily Tremaine, and Megan Ketch.
