'Alien: Earth' renewed for Season 2 on FX

With the series moving to London, we can’t help but wonder if that means we are leaving the Neverland Facility behind in season two. The first season ended with the synth hybrid Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and her fellow “Lost Boys” taking over the research facility, and planning to “rule.” And with a “pet” Xenomorph at their beck and call, they have the power to. We have no idea what the hybrids ruling really means, because Ridley Scott’s original Alien takes place a mere two years from Alien: Earth. There’s no indication that hybrid synthetics are running the planet. We’ll just have to wait and find out.

So how long will Alien: Earth last? In the past, Hawley has said he has a plan for the show that could go up to five seasons. But more than three seasons would be a shock. Most expensive streaming shows these days have a hard out at around season three. Very few go further than that. As long as Hawley can finish the story he set out to tell, we’re ok with however long it takes. Hopefully that would mean Disney extends the same courtesy to Hawley they gave to Tony Gilroy with Andor. FX announced no actual release date for Alien: Earth season two, but don’t expect it before 2027 at the earliest.
