When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in the sci-fi horror series Alien: Earth. As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival, and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.

As they say it's not a massive surprise, given the amount of things that seem to be heading into streaming from movies, rather than being persued solely in the theatrical realm. Scott's final prequel must surely be dead in the water, not that it was exactly full steam ahead after the mess that was Covenant. Or perhaps he's parlayed his intentions for the final flick into the series?

I don't know how to feel about this. I fear further dilution of the franchise.

RodChester · 10-10-2018, 02:31 AM

We’ll see.

Cremildo · 10-10-2018, 02:44 AM

I'm somewhat intrigued, but I won't allow myself to be excited until I see the names in the creative team.

TsMkLg068426 · 10-10-2018, 03:02 AM

Wasn't this a rumor quite some time ago either way they need to start on this right away since Disney also got the rights for Alien and Predator series and I hope this will be on FX or it least on a Premium network.

Two Live-Action ‘Alien’ Series Are In The Works and Ridley Scott Is Producing One At Hulu:

Quote:

Last year I revealed a possible live-action series set in the Alien universe in the very early development stages and could be heading towards a streaming service. Well, it’s been a couple of months and I have some exclusive updates to share.

There isn’t just one live-action Alien series in the works, but two of them.

According to a source, one of them is said to have Ridley Scott as an executive producer and is going to be for Hulu. I would imagine that his production company Scott Free Productions would be involved as they’ve had previous interests in television projects including Ridley’s current project, an android series titled Raised By Wolves for TNT.

Details are scarce at the moment but there might be multiple seasons that could tackle different corners/eras of the franchise, not unlike Noah Hawley’s series Fargo.

In theory, I could see them possibly filling gaps in the franchise or crafting brand new stories to tell within the Alien universe. It still seems to be the very early days with these projects and I can’t exactly speak to what they’ll be about at the moment.

The Disney-Fox merger is a couple of months away but that wouldn’t stop from Fox developing their own in-house projects. Disney CEO Bob Iger has also suggested in an earnings call recently that they’re open to Fox continuing mature programming/franchises and we’ve already seen Marvel Television launch four mature animated shows on Hulu with M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, Tigra & Dazzler, and Howard The Duck. There is a very good chance that we could see more mature projects from the Fox side of things take root at Hulu, like this Alien series from Ridley Scott.

Hopefully Scott's series will conclude the Covenant storyline (even though I'd rather have a 7th film) and the 2nd will be more in line with what other fans want (going back to its roots). The cg will probably suck to be honest though.

Tv Show? But on Hulu?
Sorry, Hulu and Netflix and any other streaming service doesn't count as a tv show!

A television show is any content produced for broadcast via over-the-air, satellite, cable, or internet and typically viewed on a television set, excluding breaking news, advertisements, or trailers that are typically placed between shows.

Hopefully, the Ridley Scott-produced one will be the sequel to Alien: Covenant/prequel to Alien that would never see the light of day on the big screen. Maybe he could even direct it himself, presumably after finishing The Merlin Saga. That would be ideal. I wonder if Fassbender and Waterston would be ok with reprising their roles on the small screen.

I hope he does it. It would be the perfect way to finish David's story, he does not have cram everything into a 2 hr movie, and it would connect to Alien.

I'm sure they would not have issue.

My dream is they retcon the travesty that was Alien3 ( like Neil Blumenkamp was going to do) and reunite Hicks and an adult Newt. Doubt the tv show could get and afford Riply back...but they could easily get Michael Beihn as Hicks and cast an adult Newt.

Agree, I blame 3 for all the franchises troubles...

They had a solid cast going forward of loveable characters to bring back if need be.
