Production, direction, and cast
Resident Alien is created by Chris Sheridan, who also serves as the showrunner. Renowned for his work on Family Guy, Sheridan has added a special fusion of comedy and drama to the show. Season 3's production had certain difficulties, including a drop in the episode count.
Alan Tudyk plays Harry Vanderspeigle on the show; his comic timing and depth have drawn many compliments. The attraction of the show stems mostly from Tudyk's portrayal of an alien experiencing human emotions. Other important cast members are Alice Wetterlund as D'arcy Bloom, whose personal challenges give the show emotional weight, and Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees, Alan Tudyk's human friend.
Season 3 also featured Linda Hamilton as General McAllister, a new character who plays a crucial role in Harry’s efforts to stop the Greys. The addition of Enver Gjokaj as Joseph Rainier, a Grey-human hybrid, further expands the alien lore, making the stakes even higher for the characters.
