Alien TV Series Likely Won't Air Until 2025

The new series has a number of hurdles in its way before release.

More than 40 years after Ridley Scott's Alien was unleashed in theaters, the franchise is set to expand into uncharted territory with a TV series from Noah Hawley, but fans shouldn't expect to witness the series anytime soon, as Hawley offered an update that it might not debut until 2025.

Production on the TV series was set to kick off back in 2022, though the coronavirus pandemic delayed those plans, with shooting ultimately starting this past July. The shoot was able to continue longer than other productions despite the strike, as it was only impacting SAG-AFTRA members, allowing British cast members to continue shooting.

Since the inception of the franchise, Alien has largely focused on various intergalactic researchers encountering incarnations of the monstrous xenomorph, though as proven with Fargo, Hawley has managed to reimagine source material yet honor its spirit.
