Now that we know FX Networks and Showrunner Noah Hawley's Sydney Chandler-starring Alien: Earth is returning for a second season, the speculation is already underway on how the series will continue to expand upon the 'Alien' universe.
Could that also include some 'easter egg' overtures to the 'Predator' universe? It's not like we haven't seen overtures in the past. Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands included a number of references to the 'Alien' side of things, including the presence of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case with the hit FX series, with Hawley noting on the SmartLess podcast , 'No, not onto the show, I don't think,' when asked about the 'Predator' possibility. 'I mean, I think Dan Trachtenberg, who made Prey and has made the Badlands movie — I mean, I loved 'Prey.' I think he's doing a great job with that franchise. He clearly has a plan there,' Hawley added. 'You know, I've met Dan once. We are not kind of coordinating any of that stuff, so it's not really my plan to do it.'

Regarding Wendy's final words of empowerment at the end of the first season finale, Hawley shared that it's now about showing the reality of what that means – and how there are a lot of folks looking to get in her way. 'That moment of, 'Now we rule,' is such an exhilarating moment for the audience. And then the question is… well, it was an exhilarating moment when Dustin Hoffman ran out of the church and they got on the bus . But what comes after?' Hawley shared with Empire. 'The ships are coming, and all they have is problems.' Speaking of Weyland-Yutani, Hawley would also like a chance to dig deeper into his future Earth's societal structure and how corporations have become the new political parties. 'I'm interested in exploring the corporate politics of it. As we've seen, there's an irresistible gravitational pull toward monopoly that corporations and billionaires have. There's a bit of 'Game of Thrones' to the corporate world that feels interesting to me,' he shared. But at the center of the series is Wendy and the team, though viewers can expect the series to live up to its global name. 'I do think this story of these children's autonomy continues to be the heart of the show, but 'Alien' is always about levels of containment. The island is a level of containment, and what happens when you expand past that level? Ultimately, the show is called 'Alien: Earth.' I know that, given the canon, I can't blow up the Earth, but I do think that containment is going to be very hard to maintain,' Hawley revealed. Image: FX Networks Set in 2120 , 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 horrifying discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat. As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors in the wreckage, they encounter mysterious, predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival – and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.
