FX’s Alien TV Series: What We Know So Far

FX’s highly anticipated Alien television series, helmed by Fargo’s Noah Hawley, is finally taking shape as filming is underway and the cast has been revealed. The series, inspired by Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 sci-fi film, will offer fans a new perspective on the beloved franchise.

The star-studded cast includes familiar faces from Fargo such as Timothy Olyphant and David Rysdahl, along with Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, and Kit Young. The series will reportedly be set on Earth, offering a fresh take on the Alien universe.

Filming for the series initially began in July 2023 but was temporarily halted due to strikes before resuming in April 2024 in Thailand. Despite the challenges, the production is moving forward, promising an exciting and visually stunning series for fans to enjoy.

In a recent interview, David Rysdahl shared his excitement for the project, praising Noah Hawley’s unique approach to storytelling. Hawley has made it clear that the series will not feature Sigourney Weaver’s iconic character Ripley, as he believes her story has been told perfectly and doesn’t want to tamper with it.

As fans eagerly await the premiere of FX’s Alien series, the anticipation continues to build as more details emerge about this thrilling new addition to the Alien franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
