Resident Alien Creator Chris Sheridan on Writing Season 2 and How Episode 8 is a Mini Finale

With Syfys hit series Resident Alien Season 2 now airing and streaming on Peacock, I recently spoke with Chris Sheridan about what fans can expect in the new season. If youve never seen the fun show, Resident Alien follows an alien (Alan Tudyk) who comes to our planet to destroy all humans but stays undercover as a smalltown Colorado doctor when he realizes it wont be an easy job. The series is based on the Dark Horse comic book series by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse and adapted for television by fivetime Emmy nominee Sheridan, who has written for Family Guy and Living Single. Aside from Tudyk, Resident Alien also features Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, Judah Prehn, and Elizabeth Bowen. During the interview, Sheridan talked about how much Syfy wanted to know about his longterm plans when he pitched the series, writing with budget in mind, how Season 2 is 16 episodes and the 8th episode ends on a mini finale, how any plans you have as a writer will always change so
