She may be done hunting Terminators but Linda Hamilton will continue to hang around in the sci-fi genre thanks to the upcoming Syfy series “Resident Alien,” Deadline reports.
Hamilton has been set for a recurring role in the series, an adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics property from Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse.
“Hamilton will play General McCallister, a high-ranking general who seemingly plays by the rules and runs a tight ship but secretly oversees a covert operation looking for aliens.”
Mandell Maughan (“Bajillion Dollar Propertie$”) and Alex Barima (“The Exorcist”) have also joined a cast that’s being led by Alan Tudyk (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil).
The project, which hails from Universal Content Productions, Dark Horse Entertainment and Amblin TV, is being described as a “dark, twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story.”
The Chris Sheridan-adapted (“Family Guy”) series follows a crash-landed alien named Harry (Tudyk) who, after taking on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth – ultimately asking the question, “Are human beings worth saving?”
