“It has been our great privilege to work with Noah for more than a decade on some of FX’s best and biggest shows,” Landgraf said. “He never stops surprising us with truly original stories, and his ability to bring them to vibrant life as a writer, director, and producer makes him exceptional. We can’t wait to get to work on the next season of Alien: Earthand other projects in development.”
A Bold Expansion of the “Alien” Franchise
Alien: Earth extends the iconic Alien film series into television. The show premiered on FX in August to strong reviews from critics and audiences.

The Season 1 logline reads: “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”
Hawley on the Next Chapter
Hawley expressed excitement about continuing his collaboration with FX and Disney.
“I’m thrilled that this expanded deal opens the door to new opportunities across Disney Entertainment Television,” he said. “FX has always supported bold, character-driven storytelling. From the very beginning with Fargo, they’ve encouraged me to take creative risks and follow the story wherever it leads. I’m grateful to keep exploring the world of Alien: Earth alongside our partners, cast, and crew as we begin the next chapter.”
