Alien: Earth<\/a> has officially been renewed<\/a> for season 2 at FX, a little over a month after the first season wrapped up its run. Additionally, series creator Noah Hawley has signed a new overall deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television, reportedly in the nine-figure range. <\/p>\n

Production on Alien: Earth season 2 is set to begin in London in 2026. The first season was shot in Thailand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been our great privilege to work with Noah for more than a decade on some of FX\u2019s best and biggest shows, and we are thrilled to extend our partnership well into the future,\u201d said FX Chairman John Landgraf. \u00a0\u201cNoah never stops surprising us with truly original stories\u2014 and his unique ability to bring them to vibrant life as a director and producer as well as writer makes him extraordinary. We can\u2019t wait to get to work on the next season of Alien: Earth, as well as some equally exciting future projects in advanced development.\u201c<\/p>\n

In his own statement, Hawley said, \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that this expanded deal opens the door to new opportunities across all of Disney Entertainment Television. FX has always supported bold, character-driven storytelling. From the very beginning with Fargo, they\u2019ve encouraged me to take creative risks and follow the story wherever it leads. I\u2019m grateful to continue exploring the world of Alien: Earth alongside our partners, cast, and crew as we begin the next chapter.\u201c<\/p>\n

Just after the first season concluded, Hawley spoke about where the story is going<\/a> and how he might resolve that cliffhanger. \u201cThis whole thing is a proof-of-concept experiment to see if enough people on the planet want to watch an Alien TV show to justify the expense of a second and third season of an Alien TV show,\u201d he said. \u201cSo for me, I never hedged my bets. This is not a closed-ended season. This chapter is closed, but Yutani troops are landing. The balance of power has shifted. These children have no idea what\u2019s coming. The last line of, \u2018Now we rule\u2019 is triumphant and uplifting. But cut to 10 minutes later \u2026 what is going to be happening? So I like that it has that real-time urgency to it.\u201c<\/p>\n

In his review of the pilot episode, our own Chris Bumbray said Alien: Earth could be \u201cthe most ambitious TV series of the year. Featuring top-notch production values and a budget that would likely put most other shows to shame, FX is clearly trying to turn the Alien franchise into a high-end, tentpole series\u2014something that can do for them what Game of Thrones and The Last of Us did for HBO.\u201d You can check out the rest of his review right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
