On top of Alien: Romulus, which arrives exclusively in theaters on August 16, Disney, 20th Century Studios, and FX have slowly but steadily worked on an ambitious Alien TV series created by Fargo’s Noah Hawley. Now, after several delays and strikes-related production bumps, main photography is done, and a seemingly definitive title has been revealed.
Via Variety, the title, according to Hawley himself and FX boss John Landgraf, is Alien: Earth. Not beating around the bush with that one, ey?
“Noah is deep in work on Season 1 of ‘Alien: Earth’ right now. We’re in post-production, and we are talking to him and watching cuts every week. We’re pretty bullish on ‘Alien: Earth’ and we’ve told him that assuming, as we hope, ‘Alien: Earth’ is a returning television series, we want him to focus on at least writing two seasons of it before returning to a possible sixth season of ‘Fargo’. So it’s going to be a little while, but I’m also an intensely proud of that show,” Landgraf explained during a lengthy interview.
