FX has yet to confirm whether Alien: Earth<\/a> will return with Season 2. However, creator Noah Hawley already knows what could happen in Season 2.<\/p>\n

Season 1 of Alien: Earth was a great addition to the Alien universe, delighting critics over its first eight episodes. Noah Hawley’s new take on the saga didn’t just address the Xenomorphs but introduced other species. While producers have yet to confirm Season 2, the creator is confident based on the show’s success so far, and told Empire Magazine how the story could continue, and it gets even more interesting.<\/p>\n

Hawley addressed the last line of dialogue from the Season 1 finale<\/a>, “Now we rule,” and also teased that Season 2 will bring big “problems” to everyone, including Wendy, as the Weyland-Yutani ship is coming, and how the children will face the new threat. He also teased that he wants to explore another detail from Season 1.<\/p>\n

“That moment of, ‘Now we rule,’ is such an exhilarating moment for the audience. And then the question is\u2026 Well, it was an exhilarating moment when Dustin Hoffman ran out of the church, and they got on the bus [in the cult classic The Graduate]. But what comes after? The [Weyland-Yutani] ships are coming and all they have is problems.”<\/p>\n

The creator highlighted that he wants to further explore the future-Earth he established. “I’m interested in exploring the corporate politics of it. As we’ve seen, there’s an irresistible gravitational pull toward monopoly that corporations and billionaires have<\/a>. There’s a bit of Game of Thrones to the corporate world that feels interesting to me.”<\/p>\n

He added, “Because it\u2019s a story about humanity trapped between nature that\u2019s trying to kill us and the technology we\u2019ve created that also seems to be trying to kill us, that feels a lot like the world that I live in, and so I feel like there\u2019s a lot there to really grapple with.”<\/p>\n

Aside from Noah Hawley, the stars don’t know much about what’s to come. Sydney Chandler, who plays the lead role of Wendy, is eager to explore her character’s connection to the Alien franchise’s legendary Xenomorph<\/a>. “That\u2019s actually one of my questions for Noah Hawley, if we go to a season 2 \u2014 figuring out where her edge is, because right now, we are watching her in the process of testing her limits,” Chandler said of her character.<\/p>\n

Timothy Olyphant, who plays Wendy’s mentor Kirsh<\/a>, also shared what he’d like to see in Season 2. “I’m particularly interested in his emotional range, because technically most people emote, cry, sob, and throw a fit when they’re trying to get something,” he shared. “So a synthetic being shouldn’t be any different, right?”<\/p>\n

Alien: Earth’s Future Is Unclear<\/p>\n

Alien: Earth debuted with a stellar Rotten Tomatoes score<\/a>, which it has maintained even after Season 1’s run. The series enjoys a fantastic 94% rating from the critics, alongside a Certified Fresh badge, which comes from almost 200 reviews. However, the audience didn’t automatically agree with the critics’ views, giving it an underwhelming 66% score from over 2,5000 ratings, as some people didn’t find it a worthy entry to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi universe, which he started in 1979.<\/p>\n

Even so, Alien: Earth proved to be a consistent streaming success<\/a>. The series spent several weeks at the top of the charts on Hulu, and the cast and crew are eager to continue exploring the universe. With more additions to the feature films on the way, including the sequel to Fede \u00c1lvarez’s Alien: Romulus<\/a> and Ridley Scott’s secret project, Alien: Earth would be the perfect television companion.<\/p>\n
