The Alien<\/a> television series Alien: Earth officially brought the sci-fi horror franchise to the small screen. Now that the first season has concluded, showrunner Noah Hawley has opened up about the show\u2019s ending, while also addressing the potential plans for Alien: Earth Season 2.<\/p>\n

For those who watched the season finale of Alien: Earth Season 1, they\u2019ll know that Hawley left plenty of questions unanswered, giving the show\u2019s potential second season plenty to follow. When asked by THR<\/a> about this conscious decision regarding the conclusion of the first season, Hawley had a very interesting answer that included some teasers for where the series could head next.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Hawley shared:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s an artistic answer to that, and there\u2019s a commercial answer to that, right? Obviously, I had to plan and execute a story that that\u2019s going someplace. And then, this whole thing is a proof-of-concept experiment to see if enough people on the planet want to watch an Alien TV show to justify the expense of a second and third season of an Alien TV show.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo for me, I never hedged my bets. This is not a closed-ended season. This chapter is closed, but Yutani troops are landing. The balance of power has shifted. These children have no idea what\u2019s coming. The last line of, \u2018Now we rule\u2019 is triumphant and uplifting. But cut to 10 minutes later, what is going to be happening? So I like that it has that real-time urgency to it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hawley certainly has the story mapped out, at least at this point, because he asks a good question. While the child-like synthetics have taken over the facility, they still have Weyland-Yutani<\/a> to deal with, so the second season will have quite the opening if it\u2019s greenlit. Though Hawley also admits that he doesn\u2019t have any definitive conclusion in mind:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a destination in mind. I don\u2019t know how long it will take me to get there. It\u2019s been such an amazing act of play for me to enter this franchise and bring my own ideas to it. And just like with Fargo, I think, \u2018Who am I kidding? As long as they let me tell stories in this tone of voice, I\u2019m going to tell stories in this tone of voice.\u2019 Right now, I feel flush with enthusiasm for this hybrid show that I\u2019ve made between Alien and looking at the future of humanity in a way that feels entertaining. So I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd look, there are artistic goals and the commercial goals. I think we\u2019ve launched incredibly well. I\u2019m certainly hoping that it\u2019s not a long nail biter of \u2018Can we do this again?\u2019 My hope is certainly in the next couple of months to get some kind of sign from them as to whether I should get another job or get back to work.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully we\u2019ll have a confirmation soon regarding the future of Alien: Earth and whether or not Season 2 has been greenlit. It would certainly be a shame to have the series end on such a bold cliffhanger. Of course, only time will tell what happens, and whether or not Noah Hawley\u2019s plans come to fruition.<\/p>\n
