An Update For The Upcoming “Alien” Series

The Alien universe is expanding once again, this time with a new TV series for FX from showrunner Noah Hawley, the man behind “Fargo” and “Legion.” First announced back in December of 2020, the series is produced by Ridley Scott. While details are being kept quiet, we do know that the seventh installment of the franchise will not be about Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), instead it will be a completely new story and will be set on Earth. Howley revealed a few details during a recent interview with Vanity Fair. Hawle said “The alien stories are always trapped… trapped in a prison, trapped in a spaceship. I thought it would be interesting to open it up a little bit so that the stakes of ‘What happens if you can’t contain it?’ are more immediate.

You hear the name Ridley Scott and your ears automatically perk up. The man is a freaking legend! The Alien director has a new must-see sci-fi horror series coming out, “Raised by Wolves” and the trailer is bloody awesome! Originally created to air on TNT, the series has been snagged by HBO MAX along with another new project Scott is working on.

‘Alien’ Anthology Series Is On Its Way

Alien is coming to the small screen for a series adaptation. Currently being developed with Ridley Scott on board, an Alien series is headed to Hulu, though no premiere date has been announced. We Got This Covered is reporting that according to their sources the series will be an anthology with each season taking place in a different part of the Alien universe. The franchise, now owned by Disney, may or may not be connected to the reboots that Disney is working on. Right now, information is being kept hush, hush. The site points out that the R-rated series could be “something special” if given the right budget and I agree. I hope the show does live up to what the franchise’s fans expect.

New ‘Alien’ Sequel In The Works

On May 25th, Alien celebrated its 40th anniversary. In a writeup from Variety celebrating the anniversary, an interesting tidbit can be found regarding the future of the now Disney owned franchise. After the article mentions the franchise’s prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, it refers to a third film, which Ridley Scott “will direct”. And that the sequel “is in the script phase.” Could this be the long-awaited sequel Alien: Awakening? We don’t know yet, but it seems Scott wants the Xenomorphs to evolve. Okay, it’s dead in the water.’ I think Alien vs. Predator was a daft idea. And I’m not sure it did very well or not, I don’t know. But it somehow brought down the beast.
