SyFy announced they will adapt Dark Horse Comics, Peter Hogan, and Steve Parkhouse’s Resident Alien.

In fact, SyFy announced they picked up the series that will star Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, and Levi Fiehler.

Here’s the official description:

RESIDENT ALIEN is a twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story that follows a crash-landed alien named Harry (Alan Tudyk) who, after taking on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth — ultimately asking the question, “Are human beings worth saving?”

The series is being adapted by Family Guy’s Chris Sheridan alongside Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg. They will be joined Amblin TV’s Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank who will executive produce. David Dobkin who directed the pilot episode will also executive produce.
