“Noah is now deep into production on Alien: Earth Season 1. We’re in post-production and we’re talking to him every week and watching the edits. We’re very bullish on Alien: Earth and we told him, assuming as we said Hopefully, Alien: Earth is a returning show and we hope he’s focused on writing the show for at least two seasons before returning for a potential Fargo season 6. “We’re very proud,” Landgraf said. explained in a lengthy interview.
FX is currently enjoying a huge winning streak, with “Shomacr;gun” transcending its original limited series plans and going straight to critical acclaim, while “The Bear” continues to be one of the biggest shows of the moment. Additionally, What We Do in the Shadows is about to enter its sixth and final season, while Keep the Dog has performed well over three seasons, earning FX multiple award nominations.
On Alien: Earth, Hawley also added some post-shooting thoughts: “We just finished production, so now I’m writing a long post involving visual effects… It’s a really big show.

Plot details (other than the story being set on Earth and before the events of the film) are currently under wraps, but the cast includes Sidney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Kit Young and Timothy Oliphant et al.
For some time now, there have been rumors and expectations set by the studio “Alien” will be available on FX on Hulu in 2025 (and possibly Star+ through Disney+ internationally). However, which quarter it falls in remains to be seen. Looking at the usual post-production timeline for a big show like this, we wouldn’t expect it to arrive before late spring or early summer, but we also have to consider how the Disney overlords might plan to juggle their many blockbusters. .
