Reopening Hollywood North
Syfy’s alien-stranded-in-small-town series Resident Alien is scheduled to restart production of season one today in Vancouver.

What’s it about?
Harry (Alan Tudyk) is a crash-landed alien who disguises himself as a doctor in the Colorado small town of Patience.
Based on the Dark Horse comic, Resident Alien follows Harry, an alien played by Alan Tudyk that crash lands on Earth and passes himself off as a small-town human doctor. Harry starts off living a simple life… but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does so, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission and asking the big life questions like: “Are human beings worth saving?” and “Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?”
Resident Alien filmed all over Vancouver last Fall and Winter, before the Covid pandemic abruptly shut down film & TV production worldwide.
