Hosts Jackie Jennings and Juan Cadavid chat up Resident Alien creator Chris Sheridan and alien artist Joe Vaux about berserk babies, midseason breaks and more in this After Show for season two, episode eight.

In season two of Resident Alien, Harry (Alan Tudyk) is once again stranded on Earth where he must confront the consequences of having failed his people’s mission to destroy the human race. 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. While back in Patience, Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) find themselves closer to unraveling the mystery of Sam Hodges’s murder.

Resident Alien is the 2021 SYFY Channel TV series adaptation of the Dark Horse Entertainment comic book series created by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse.

From SYFY: Resident Alien follows Harry, an alien played by Alan Tudyk (Firefly) that crash lands on Earth and passes himself off as a small-town human doctor. Arriving with a secret mission, Harry starts off living a simple life…but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does so, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his mission and asking the big life questions like: "Are human beings worth saving?" and "Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?"
