FX’s ‘Alien’ Series Wraps Filming, Showrunner Noah Hawley Promises “Something Special”
The 'Fargo' creator says he's now in post-production on the prequel to the iconic movie franchise.
The series, whose full title will be Alien: Earth, was early into its production cycle in Thailand when the 2023 actors strike shut down the set (scripts had all been written before writers struck in May). Hawley said in a January interview that the show will explore some of the same themes as that film, including the idea of humanity being “trapped between its primordial parasitic past and its AI future, and they’re both trying to kill us,” but its story won’t be tied to those of Scott’s two Alien prequel films, 2012’s Prometheus and 2017’s Alien: Covenant. Alien: Earth stars Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, David Rysdahl, Babou Ceesay, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diêm Camille and Adrian Edmondson.
