Syfy's 'Resident Alien' Extends Its Stay on Earth with Season 2 Renewal

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – March 17, 2021 – SYFY’s hit series Resident Alien, one of the biggest cable success stories of the year, is returning for a second season.

The announcement was made by Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.

“With Resident Alien, everything just came together in perfect harmony—a script by Chris Sheridan that leapt off the page, a lead performance by Alan Tudyk, whose nuance between comedy and menace was pitch perfect, and a team of producers, cast and crew who were all striving to do something great,” Katz said. “The appeal of this show transcended the sci-fi genre in a way that enabled us to bring in a broader audience, and as the series continues we hope to encourage more and more fans to discover Harry’s very particular perspective on humans.”

In its successful first season, Resident Alien is the most-watched new cable drama in the last year in total viewers and #2 in the 18-49 demo. It’s also SYFY’s highest-rated new drama in more than six years in total viewers and earns the second-biggest time-shifting gain for any cable drama in the last year in total viewers.

Servant, which will soon premiere its second season finale on Apple+, is a psychological thriller that follows wife and husband Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell) who have tragically lost their son. Unable to cope with Jericho’s death, Dorothy is given a therapy doll which her husband and brother, Julian (Rupert Grint), let her believe is her real son.

In season one, Dorothy hires a nanny, Leanne (Nell Tiger Free), to care for Jericho and the ruse continues, however, suddenly, somehow, there’s a real baby. At the end of season one, Jericho and Leanne go missing, and Dorothy believes a cult is responsible. In season two, the search for Jericho continues and brings even more possible supernatural events. The series has already been renewed for a third season.

Executive producer, M. Night Shyamalan, who also directed some of the episodes, along with series stars Ambrose, Kebbell, Free, and Grint, recently talked to journalists in a panel as part of the TCA press tour in which SciFi Vision took part.

This season, there were some really funny scenes between Boris McGiver, who plays George, Leanne’s uncle, and Grint and Kebbell, which involves the two characters dragging around an unconscious George.

In season two, For All Mankind took a ten-year leap into the 1980s. Three episodes in, the time jump is paying off narratively as characters realize that what happens on the moon doesn’t stay on the moon. The women of NASA have made huge sacrifices to get to Jamestown, and it’s time to pay the price. Both Danielle (Krys Marshall) and Margo (Wrenn Schmidt) are still living with the consequences of their actions back in 1974.

SciFi Vision spoke with stars Schmidt and Marshall about what viewers can expect this season as Margo visits an old friend and Dani sets her sights on the moon. 

Be sure to watch For All Mankind on Apple TV+, and you can also read the full transcript of the interview following the video.

For All Mankind, which airs on AppleTV+, picks up ten years after the events in season one. The series focuses on the space program but takes place in an alternate timeline to the real the space race.

Shantel VanSanten, who recently took part in a junket to promote the show, stars as Karen Baldwin, wife of NASA astronaut, Edward. Last season, while Ed was on a mission in space, their son Shane kept acting out, which led to him running off and getting into an accident that eventually proved fatal. Losing their son drove a wedge into the marriage and still affects them ten years later.

VanSanten talked to journalists about Karen’s journey this season, including dealing with her son’s death, as well as other parts about working on the series.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about how Shane’s death has put strain on the Baldwin family this season and the challenges in playing that during a particular scene coming up. “Oh, of course, it's so hard. It's such a tricky dance to explain…It was tricky. You know, there're times that I think things are going to be challenging. I read a script, and I'm like, ‘Oh, this is going to be a tough scene.’ At first, when I read this eighteen page scene between [the] three of us, I was like, ‘Oh, wow, this is like, theater; this is what I live to do.’ I was really excited, and then there were parts of that scene that just terrified me. There are parts of it that are ugly, and that's the human parts that we want to shy away from and think that we're better than, when in all actuality, we all have massive emotional reactions, sometimes in life, and understanding where that comes from and really diving into the psyche behind where the each of the characters are, is interesting.
