**Alien: Earth Season 2 – Latest Updates from Creator Noah Hawley**
Fans of *Alien: Earth* might have a reason to be excited, as Season 2 could be on the horizon. Creator Noah Hawley recently shared some promising updates about the potential new season following the Season 1 finale.
In a conversation with PopCulture.com, Hawley discussed the future of the show. “FX does their homework,” he told ScreenRant. “They really make sure that they understand what the viewership numbers are. And on some level, it’s where you end more than where you started that tells you what the appetite for a Season 2 is.”
With the final episode of Season 1 airing next week, Hawley revealed that he has been actively thinking about where he would take the show moving forward. “Certainly, I don’t want the show to be off the air for any longer than it absolutely has to be. So, there’s some urgency there to get us going as quickly as possible. But ultimately, this is a Disney decision, so I’m excited to see what they do. There’s so many great hard rock songs left to play.”
### About *Alien: Earth*
*Alien: Earth* features an ensemble cast including Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Lily Newmark, Adrian Edmondson, and Timothy Olyphant. The series is set two years before the events of the 1979 film *Alien*.
The story begins when a space vessel crash-lands on Earth, leading a young hybrid woman and a team of tactical soldiers to uncover a terrifying discovery that brings them face-to-face with the planet’s biggest threat.
The show premiered on August 12 on FX and FX on Hulu, with the finale scheduled for release this Tuesday.
### Production and Future Prospects
The prequel series was first announced in February 2022, with production starting in July 2023 in Thailand. However, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, American cast members—including Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, and David Rysdahl—were not present during filming. Production was paused in August and resumed in April.
Despite the long wait for the series, Noah Hawley appears committed to continuing the story. Timothy Olyphant confirmed ongoing discussions about a second season, stating, “I know it was on the record. We’re well into those conversations, and there’s no off-switch in Noah Hawley, so he is laying down stuff.”
Whether Season 2 will officially happen remains unknown, but fans can hope for an announcement soon.
