Twenty years ago, Petey lost his best friend. Now Allen is back — but his return comes with a few unexpected complications. Netflix is bringing audiences Allen, a new sci-fi comedy about an extraordinary friendship that never really got a chance to end.
Two decades after an encounter with an alien changed his life, Petey still hasn’t moved on. When his old friend suddenly returns, their reunion raises an unexpected question: why has Allen come back now, and what does he really want?
Blending science fiction with comedy and an emotional look at friendship, Allen explores what happens when the past comes knocking in the most unusual way possible.
