The FX series “Alien: Earth” premiered last month, and fans are already hoping for another installment.
“Alien: Earth” hasn’t been renewed for season 2 yet, but the show’s creator, Noah Hawley, thinks it’s only a matter of time.
“I’m pretty confident, given the show’s success, that we’ll get to make more,” he said during an interview with Polygon earlier this week. Hawley also told the Hollywood Reporter that he’s hoping season 2 is confirmed sooner rather than later.
“I’m certainly hoping that it’s not a long nail biter of ‘Can we do this again?’ My hope is certainly in the next couple of months to get some kind of sign from them as to whether I should get another job or get back to work,” he said.
“Alien: Earth” is set in 2120, two years before the events of the 1979 film “Alien.” Powerful corporations have taken the place of governments, and humans exist alongside cyborgs and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence).
Sydney Chandler plays Wendy, the first ever hybrid, a person whose consciousness has been transferred into a synthetic body. She and her fellow hybrids encounter alien monsters from deep space when an exploration vessel crashes on Earth.
Among those monsters is the “Alien” franchise’s iconic xenomorph. The creature’s terrifying metamorphosis process includes a facehugger and a chestburster stage, which are just what they sound like.

In addition to the familiar foes, “Alien: Earth” introduced new extraterrestrial horrors, including a tentacled eyeball and a plant monster. Hawley told the Hollywood Reporter it was important to add new creatures to “replicate [the] series of feelings that the original” movie gave viewers.
“You don’t know how they reproduce or what they eat. So, you get this dread that comes every time they’re on screen where you’re like, ‘I know something’s going to happen, [but] I don’t know what it’s going to be,’” he said of the new monsters. “And then when it happens, it’s worse than you could have imagined.”
“Alien: Earth” is available to stream on Hulu.
