Alan Tudyk, of Rogue One fame, has joined the cast of Resident Alien, as its lead. The TV series is developed from a property owned by former Star Wars comics creator, Dark Horse Comics.
Back in May, Syfy ordered a pilot for “Resident Alien,“ a potential television series based on the Dark Horse Comics property from Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. Deadline updates today that Alan Tudyk (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) has come aboard to play the series’ main character.
Sara Tomko (Sneaky Pete), Corey Reynolds (The Closer), Alice Wetterlund (Silicon Valley) and Levi Fiehler (Mars) have also joined the cast.
The project, which hails from Universal Cable Productions, Dark Horse Entertainment and Amblin TV, is being described as a “dark, twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story.”
