Everything We Know About The Alien TV Show So Far


https://www.slashfilm.com/650405/everything-we-know-about-the-alien-tv-show-so-far/

Now, the franchise is set to make its next appearance on our television screens when a new TV series arrives on FX. "Fargo" and "Legion" showrunner Noah Hawley is at the helm of this metaphorical spaceship, with Scott himself likely onboard as executive producer.

Not too much is known about the premise of the upcoming "Alien" TV show, but in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Noah Hawley opened up a bit about what fans of the franchise can expect to see on their screens when the show eventually makes its debut. Interestingly enough, it seems the battle between human and alien will be taking place on terrain never before explored by xenomorph claws. That is, unless you're one of the few people who consider "Alien vs. Predator" (and its sequel) canon — which, really, why would you? 

That's right, the aliens have finally made it to Earth, and they are ready to duke it out with anyone who gets in their way. FX and Disney+ hinted at the show's new setting when they first tweeted about it at the end of last year, and Hawley recently expanded on this concept in his Vanity Fair interview by stating, "I thought it would be interesting to open it up a little bit so that the stakes of 'What happens if you can't contain it?' are more immediate." We couldn't agree more. After all, what better way to help us all get over our pandemic trauma than by giving us a new contagion (of sorts) to fear, even if it is just from the comfort of our couches?

I read the Earth Hive book series which has the aliens on Earth. I thought it was a great idea and the books are among the best I've read.

This show looks promising.

Enjoy!
I didn't know they continued to write so many books with other authors after the Earth Hive book series.

So is this series based on them?
I just watched Prometheus on my Quest3 in 3D, so I'm really into the franchise now. Covenant is next, but sadly no 3D.

No, I don't believe it is. But, the showrunner Noah Hawley created a few really good shows so I'm hopeful about this series.

Aliens is the best one. Exciting, funny and great characters. Did you see that one?

If you're a gamer, Alien vs Predator 2 was great. It's old, but makes you feel like you're there.

Not sure why you just said "Aliens is the best one. Exciting, funny and great characters. Did you see that one?" as it's not even out yet.

Yes - I've seen them all.

Noah Hawley’s involved? Hard pass.

Get ready for a Woke bait-and-switch as we saw with Fargo.
