Alien TV Show Likely To Release In 2023

The TV series Alien is looking like it will probably be released in 2023. The science-fiction/horror franchise all started with Ridley Scott’s Alien, which was released in theaters in 1979. It spawned a total of three sequels in the form of 1986’s Aliens, 1992’s Alien 3, and 1997’s Alien Resurrection. Each installment included a different director, although the narrative is focused around officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) as she fights for survival against alien creatures, also known as Xenomorphs.

Starting in 2012, a prequel film series was developed by Scott beginning with Prometheus. It was followed up by Alien: Covenant in 2017. The plot explores those who created the Xenomorphs, also known as the Engineers. Rather than being set around Ripley, it’s told from the perspective of the David 8 android (Michael Fassbender). The Alien universe has continued to expand over the years through various mediums, including comic books, novels, and video game titles. Last year, it was announced that an Alien television series was in the works at FX from Noah Hawley (Fargo).

TV Line reported on FX Networks’ chief John Landgraf’s statements from the Television Critics Association summer press tour. When talking about the new show, he expressed that “We’re well into it.” He continued that he has, “optimism it will roll out in 2023…It probably will roll out in 2023.” Alien won’t follow Ripley, but will be set in the future on Earth.

Hawley previously stated that the plan is to start filming in Spring 2022, as production had been delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While there aren’t any exact plot details yet, audiences at least have the understanding of a near-future setting on Earth. It hasn’t been determined yet if the show will be distributed only on FX or if it will be available through FX on Hulu. There are still a lot of details to come, although at least now audiences have heard from the FX Networks’ chief on a tentative date.

Given that it sounds like the Alien television show will be expanding upon the more claustrophobic settings of some of the earlier films, it will be exciting to see how it will look visually. Between the prequel film series and the television show, it’s clear that there are intentions to continue expanding upon this universe that started back in 1979 with the original movie. The year 2023 feels like it’s far away, but FX will surely want to capitalize upon any hype by releasing some sneak peeks as the project gets closer to being completed.
