by

Noah Hawley, who created and runs the show *Alien: Earth*, recently shared encouraging news about a potential second season. The show, which is the first live-action series in the *Alien* universe, debuted on FX and FX on Hulu on August 12, 2025, and its first season ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger.

Noah Hawley says Alien: Earth Season 2 is being discussed

As of today, FX hasn’t officially announced whether or not *Alien: Earth* will get a second season. However, the show’s creator, Noah Hawley, has said they are talking about it and he’s been developing ideas. He mentioned that the show’s international success was promising, and FX likes to take its time when making decisions about renewals.

The screenwriter said FX’s success comes from being careful with spending – they only invest an amount that a show is likely to earn back. He explained that when considering continuing a show, they don’t just ask if it will be profitable, but also consider *how* profitable it will be and *how long* it will take to recoup the investment. He added that these factors are currently under discussion, but he doesn’t have a timeframe for when a decision will be made.

Some fans may be frustrated by the lack of a confirmed release date for Alien: Earth Season 2. However, creator Noah Hawley has revealed the show was always intended to have multiple seasons. He explained they have a long-term plan for the story, though he doesn’t know exactly how many seasons it will take to tell it.

Hawley believes there’s a large and compelling story to tell, but it needs to fit within the established timeframe of the films. He explained that these limitations can actually be beneficial, preventing the story from becoming too broad and unfocused.

All eight episodes of Alien: Earth are currently streaming on FX on Hulu.
