Exploring the Expansive Universe of 'Alien: Earth' Season 2: What's Next for the FX on Hulu Series?
The "Alien" franchise expands to television with the FX on Hulu series "Alien: Earth," created by Noah Hawley of "Fargo" fame. The show premiered last August and has already been renewed for a second season. Dana Gonzalez, the executive producer, director, and cinematographer, has confirmed that the world-building for season 2 is in progress at Pinewood Studios in England, where the original "Alien" movie was filmed.
The "Alien" TV series is set on Earth a few decades before the events of the first film. It takes place in 2120, just before the events of "Alien," exploring the formation of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race to create android life. The show aims to break free from the confined settings of previous "Alien" stories and raise the stakes of containment.
The synopsis of "Alien: Earth" follows a young woman named Sydney Chandler and a group of soldiers who encounter a mysterious space vessel crash-landing on Earth, leading them to face the planet's greatest threat. The story unfolds in a world where five corporations hold immense power, promising technological advancements for the future.
The cast of "Alien: Earth" includes Sydney Chandler as Wendy, Essie Davis as Dame Sylvia, David Rysdahl as Arthur, Alex Lawther as Hermit, Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, and a diverse ensemble of characters portrayed by talented actors like Adrian Edmondson, Babou Ceesay, and Timothy Olyphant.
