Alien: Earth Season 2 Renewed but Delayed Until 2027

It’s fantastic that Alien: Earth is coming back for a second season, but the renewal came almost two months after the first season ended, which is a bit of a letdown. Many fans were worried about whether FX and Disney would renew the show at all, even though it received a great score on Rotten Tomatoes. The renewal news is a relief for everyone who enjoyed the first season.

We now have confirmation that Alien: Earth will return for a second season, meaning the story of Wendy and the Lost Boys will continue, and the cliffhanger involving Boy Kavalier and the other prisoners will be resolved. However, along with this good news, the renewal announcement also contained a subtle piece of disappointing information.

Alien: Earth Season 2 Probably Won’t Be Released Until 2027

FX has confirmed that season 2 of Alien: Earth will start filming in London in 2026. Because of this, the new season likely won’t be available to watch until 2027 or later. Even though we don’t know exactly when filming will begin, it usually takes about a year to finish all the post-production work, like editing and marketing, after the cameras stop rolling.

It’s frustrating for viewers that they’ll likely have to wait almost two years – or even longer – to find out what happens after the season one finale. However, this kind of delay isn’t unusual with streaming shows. Many popular series like Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Severance have had extended breaks between seasons.

Honestly, the delay with Alien: Earth season two wasn’t exactly a surprise, but it is frustrating. The long wait for a renewal really shines a light on a bigger issue with streaming services – they just aren’t delivering new seasons fast enough. While I figured this was coming, it’s still a letdown. No matter how much work goes into making a show, fans shouldn’t be kept waiting this long to see what happens next.

Noah Hawley’s Deal With FX & Disney Is Still Great News For Alien: Earth

Despite the recent news, there’s a positive development: Noah Hawley, the creator of Alien: Earth, has signed a new deal with FX and Disney. This shows both companies have strong faith in his creative abilities and plan to collaborate with him on future TV projects. Hawley’s successful work on the Fargo TV series for FX further demonstrates their confidence in his talent.

This is fantastic news for Alien: Earth. If Disney and FX are prepared to offer Noah Hawley a new contract while also confirming a second season of Alien: Earth, it shows they’re optimistic about the show’s long-term potential. While nothing is certain, this strongly suggests Alien: Earth will not only be renewed for a second season, but could run for many years.

Alien Movies & TV Shows In Timeline Order
Title Year Set
Prometheus (2012) 2093
Alien: Covenant (2017) 2104
Alien: Earth (2025) 2120
Alien (1979) 2122
Alien: Romulus (2024) 2142
Aliens (1986) 2179
Alien 3 (1992) 2180
Alien Resurrection (1997) 2379

This could also make it easier to renew Alien: Earth for a third season. With Disney and FX showing more confidence in Noah Hawley and the show, a renewal likely won’t be delayed as long. Skipping almost two months of audience and market research could speed up production, meaning we might see new seasons of Alien: Earth more frequently.
