With the first character details for FX and Noah Hawley’s Aliens series having hit the internet earlier this month, it is starting to look like production is heating up on the upcoming series and that casting has already begun. Now, Alien vs. Predator Galaxy has learnt that Noah Hawley’s Alien series is currently scheduled to begin filming March 2022 in Thailand, and possibly some Eastern European locations!
We also got our hands on a current production synopsis that describes the series as –
Set not too far into our future, it’s the first ‘Alien’ set on Earth — and by blending both the timeless horror of the first ‘Alien’ film with the non-stop action of the second, it’s going to be a scary thrill ride that will blow people back in their seats.
From the character details we also know that synthetics – or artificial persons – will continue to play a role in the Alien series, with the uploading consciousness seemingly being explored in Noah Hawley’s series. Previously, this has been something only teased in the Alien franchise with Aliens vs. Predator 2’s Dr Eisenberg having his own consciousness transferred to a synthetic body following an Alien attack that left him severely wounded.

I would like to learn more about human civilization in the Alien future. Sometimes that can make the Alien even more alien imo, if it is handled in a smart way. I'm a fan of The Expanse by the way. But I must admit that I am more interested in the alien mysteries that might be there in the dark corners of space as well.
Nailed it!
who have some incredibly funny names too.
Agreed.
I was stoked for a galactic conflict follow-up, but then I found out White wasn't writing it and it was full of an improbable number of relatives of people we've met before
(No disrespect to Barnett, hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I feel like White did such a good job building that world it kinda belongs to them.)
My sentiment as well!
Adored Into Charybdis. Without a doubt in my mind, the best Alien novel I've read.
I have zero interest in that followup book from another author with the family members of Shy and Ripley.
Well, settle in, 'cause that book sets up a whole goddamn galactic war !
...hold on!
which is exactly what Into Charydbis feels like before the aliens show up.
And that was a wonderful book.. as a one-off.
That's not what the ALIEN IP as a whole ought to be: the space politics of faction X vs faction Y.
Pretty sure this first season is gonna be about WY conspiracy stuff.. and.. that's fine... as a one-off.
After that, if the 2nd season doesn't go somewhere out into space and explores some actual cosmic horror mystery (a big part of the appeal of the first alien movie...) then it'll be a gigantic waste of imagination.

I put that quote since I couldn't find the one about exploring the people of the future, who walk around in dirty sneakers aboard a spaceship. But seriously, I cannot omit my personal taste for anthologies, since it opens up the possibility of exploring different tropes of the universe. Also, I wish someone like Alex White were a creative consultant, as it would be superb.
Yes that's an issue I have with Prometheus as a single film. (Four Seasons of Black Mirror beg to differ in terms of the general concept though of the subject matter changing substantially episode by episode.)
Besides I never said it can be about just anything, just that Prometheus' indecisiveness opened the door a lot wider, for all that room in the genre itself.
As for the public wanting Aliens... and yet Prometheus still struck gold financially anyway.
It's enough to have the "DNA of the Alien" in it, if you can not find an appropriate place for it, we will all have to get used to this being the status quo going forward anyway:
Because the Aliens will not be appearing episode by episode, so you will hopefully have great episodes that by necessity will not feature the Alien once at all, and like a recent horror on Netflix that might even be the best part.
And if it follows the structure of Fargo as I expect it will to a degree as an Anthology as originally reported years ago, and it is successful enough to continue on, you will inevitably get whole seasons without an Alien to be seen.
It's not going back to being purely about acid-blood monsters, no.
The idea of Arcturians as future transgender people rather than aliens was always stronger in my mind.
General public sees Alien, wants Aliens, which is how IPs work.
I wouldn't want a Blade Runner series to focus on dealing with acid-bleeding space monsters, I don't want an Alien series focusing on what it means to be human.
If that's garbage then I wanna be a garbage truck driver

I'm quite looking forward to this
Perhaps they won't be utilizing locations in Thailand at all, but rather just soundstages and backlots and taking advantage of that terrific currency exchange rate.

That might make a lot of sense actually.
"Set on Earth ... not so far in the future" = David was successful in sending us something in order to kill us.
I think it'll stay away from the main trilogy for sure or hit Resurrection far flung timeline Territory if so..could do a cool aged Ripley 8 episode..the Xenomorph got to Earth etc that way. Prefer prequel era setup for a third film but whatever
Awaiting a shipment from a certain android-controlled Weyland-Yutani colony ship, perhaps?
