"Resident Alien" has a number of treats in store for fans – from more octopus action to guest stars and shapeshifting – when it returns to Syfy and USA for Season 2 in 2022.

Season 2 is set to premiere Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 9/8c on both USA and Syfy, while the remainder of episodes will air solely on the latter network. The season will be split in two, with Part 1 concluding March 16 and additional episodes following in the summer.

Alan Tudyk teased Alex Borstein's role in Season 2. Borstein will play Carlyn, a socially awkward lab worker who fancies the series’ main alien.

“That she joined us this season was fantastic, it was a lot of fun,” Tudyk refelcted. “Her relationship with Chris goes back a long way…they have a really strong friendship and it’s really fun to watch them more than anything together.”

The cast also touched on another storyline set in New York. While the stars themselves couldn’t travel to the Big Apple due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, they made do with Vancouver, which served as a “pretty cool, second New York,” Sara Tomko said.

Without revealing too much about the upcoming episode, Chris Sheridan said the New York-based adventure will be one that more directly brings the series back to its source material.

“As soon I read it, I thought it would be a great journey for Alan and Sara to do,” Sheridan said about an arc in the the original graphic novels.

Sheridan continued to speak on how Harry and Asta’s (Tomko) relationship will carry over to the upcoming season and how it will continue to help the former learn more about human connection.

“I think the journey in Season 2 is sort of extending that humanity to people outside of Asta – learning empathy and trying to realize that maybe there’s other people in this world who he can maybe care about as well in addition to Asta,” he said. “It definitely continues into the second season, it’s going to be a slow burn – we don’t want to do it too quickly where suddenly he’s caring about everybody.”

What a cool show, I can't wait to watch season 2. Not fond of it being split into 2 parts though.
