Alien Nation is about an alien ship landing on Earth and the social changes caused by them integrating into human society. From what I saw of it, Bright was a direct lift, with fantasy instead of scifi.
There was one season of a surprisingly good television spin-off, and several years later a handful of TV movies. Some of the novelizations are interesting in that they developed from scripts from the aborted second season, some of which were later rewritten into the TV movies.
1989: Alien Nation by Alan Dean Foster - movie novelization
1993: Day of Descent by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens - original prequel book
1993: Dark Horizon by K.W. Jeter - adapted from a second season script, later made into a TV movie
1994: Body and Soul by Peter David - adapted from a second season script, later made into a TV movie
1994: The Change by Barry B. Longyear - from an unproduced script
1994: Slag Like Me by Barry B. Longyear
