Director and producer Noah Hawley says he has completed principal filming of FX’s long awaited Alien series. Invigorated by the production, the award-winning creative says the series is “something special.”
“We are wrapped — just wrapped. I’m in post, editing away, and obviously there’s a large visual effects component that takes time. But I couldn’t be happier with the show we shot,” Hawley told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, July 17.
“If people wanted a television series based on the world of Alien, I think I’m gonna give them something special.”
Alien: Earth is not directly tied to the plot of Prometheus or Alien: Covenant, but it will reportedly explore the idea of humanity being “trapped between its primordial parasitic past and its AI future.” With Hawley directing and executive producing, the series will feature Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav and Kit Young. Thus far, there is no official release date for the project, but fans expect it to arrive sometime before July next year on Hulu.
