‘Alien: Earth’ Closes Season 1 With Bold Turns as Season 2 Decision Remains Unset

Noah Hawley and the cast say plans for a follow-up are being discussed, with praise for the show’s creature craft and questions about a lead character’s unexplained abilities shaping what comes next.

Overview

  • Showrunner Noah Hawley says a second season is still in Disney’s hands and remains “conversational,” with a decision expected after viewership is assessed.
  • Star Sydney Chandler says writers’ rooms are active and Hawley is keeping plans close, noting the team is waiting on an official green light.
  • The series’ sound designer detailed the creation of an alien communication system, including distinct “baby” vocalizations that shift from playful to threatening.
  • Wētā Workshop outlined how the Xenomorph was adapted for Earth with practical suits, Earth-inspired detailing, and performance techniques suited to outdoor environments.
  • Post-finale coverage lauds practical effects and new creature designs, while some critics argue the scope of the protagonist’s powers needs clearer definition to preserve dramatic stakes.
