What’s the talk about Resident Alien’ Season 2
“Finding Max in his ship with him was incredibly frustrating for two reasons,” creator and executive producer Chris Sheridan tells TVLine. “One is because he wanted to go home, and also because he has to realize that — even if he doesn’t want to acknowledge it — he’s human enough to not have just tossed Max out into space and kept going on his way. He literally came back to save Max, which is not something he wants to admit that he did. Now he’s stuck here and blames Max for it.”
Chris Sheridan, the show’s creator said, “Being in a place where you’re unhappy, what do you do? Do you make the best of it? Do you try to get out? Sometimes you’re stuck, and having good relationships and friendships, and learning to appreciate what you have is sometimes the only way. It’s a lesson he’s got to learn.”

What’s the cast saying about Resident Alien’ Season 2?
Alan Tudyk said, “Harry’s a little bit more at ease with who he is and where he is. He knows the people around him a little better, so there’s somewhat of a comfort level, but he still has his struggles.” Sara Tomko said, “He [Harry] definitely starts to form some attachments and relationships in Season Two that are really important to him. I think you see him trying to navigate those waters and figure out how to be both a good resident alien and also somebody that can contribute and help the town.”
Corey Reynolds said, “The relationship between Harry and the sheriff deepens. They start trusting each other more. There might even be a mutual respect thing going on.”
