The first season of creator Noah Hawley’s praised series “Alien: Earth” wrapped up with a major cliffhanger that calls for an immediate season two renewal.
A new balance of power took shape in the finale, “The Real Monsters,” and that’s without even getting into the Weyland-Yutani side of things.
Alien: Earth’s Lost Boys are destabilized, Neverland is in ruins, and Wendy has gone rogue while the proverbial Tinker Bell sizes up its prey. The audience may applaud loudly after this season finale masterpiece, but it’s not going to save Alien: Earth’s prisoners.
As Daniel Kurland said in his finale review
Disney hasn’t yet approved a second season, but the show’s creator has openly expressed his wish to continue.
Hawley recently told Polygon he isn’t worried about leaving season one so open-ended.
I’m pretty confident, given the show’s success, that we’ll get to make more. The risk is the reward.
he said
The creator also spoke with THR and remains optimistic about renewal chances.
I think we’ve launched incredibly well. I’m certainly hoping that it’s not a long nail-biter of ‘Can we do this again?’ 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. Certainly, I don’t want the show to be off the air for any longer than it absolutely has to be. So, there’s some urgency there to get us going as quickly as possible. But ultimately, this is a Disney decision, so I’m excited to see what they do. There’s so many great hard rock songs left to play. Five corporations – Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold – wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow. When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
