The upcoming Alien series by FX is planning to begin production sometime next year. The series has had a lengthy development, with effects studio Weta signed on to handle the Alien effects, which we exclusively revealed earlier this year.
During development there’s always a slew of concept art created for shows and films of this nature to help flesh out the world created in the script. We’re highly anticipating the first foray of Alien into a series, but it may be a little while yet before we see anything. So we thought we’d give you an early sneak peak!
Potential Spoilers
Following our Weta involvement reveal and writers room details, AvP Galaxy is able to bring you our biggest Alien series exclusive yet: the first concept art from the series!
These three pieces of concept art depict planned scenes which all take place during the earlier part of the season. They allude to significant plot elements so if you’d like to go in completely fresh, you’ve been warned. Enjoy

The concept art shows a Weyland-Yutani spaceship, the USCSS Maginot, crashed right in the middle of a city, cutting into the underground levels. The city is controlled by the Prodigy Corporation, a rival to Weyland-Yutani. The next piece depicts two soldiers within an industrial looking room. They’re approaching Xenomorph eggs in containers hiding within a cover of mist. Finally, we can see an adult Xenomorph snatching someone in a vertical shaft.

As for Noah Hawley:
The thing Ridley blew when he went back to the series is that the CREATURE IT'S SELF needs to look SCARY.
I was so pissed off with Covenant for going CGI, wtf were they thinking with that stupid back splitter scene and the
cartoonish creature? We live in 2022. We have so much tech, so many advances in latex, robotics, etc. yet NO ONE
seems to get the idea of just making a creature flick that has a MONSTER it's self which is SCARY and REAL.
Where the F is Rob Bottin? Someone needs to get him out of whatever stone he crawled under, get John Carpenter
and Dean Cundy and do a proper monster flick with actual prosthetic trickery, IN CAMERA magic, like the old days,
but using today's tech. Like how they make awesome retro games today that are like super versions of the old ones.
I can't stand 3D rendered characters. Use CGI for backdrops and editing and coloring but make your damn monsters
real... And what TV series is gonna be able to keep that up consistently? NONE. It is MOVIE material. You have to get
all the editing and lighting and story perfect and just give us a real monster movie, not a tv series, not pseudo bad
philosophy about the origins of man. I would actually like to have Ridley's prequels finished and I know how to do it too.
They can undo the entire wreck if they make the Engineers actually NOT be the Space Jockey.
They just designed their suits and look after them because they worship them and have the REAL, actual Space Jockey
creatures show up in the final one and kick everyone's ass. This can fix so many of the complaints, why the Engineers
in the suits aren't as big as the skeleton found in ALIEN, etc.
knew not to put it on Earth when they had been toying with the idea.
The ALIEN series is about MYSTERY, ALIEN LANDSCAPES and NOT EXPLAINING THINGS.
Ridley decided to ruin the mystery of the Space Jockey by making him a humanoid in a bio-suit (dumbest idea ever),
now they want to put it on Earth so they can crank out cheap looking series that get their budget lowered every new
season as they endlessly milk the concept dead. Just stop it already. FFS.
Found it on Disney+ here in Oz too.
Ok you got me. I'm gonna watch Legion now.
Oh yeah, he was fantastic in Midnight Mass. That was such a great show.
Please for the love of God watch Legion @Nightmare Asylum it's right up your alley.
The characters we know so far are:
Hermit - Medic for the private army of Prodigy
Wendy - 10 year old girl in the body of a superpowered soldier created by Prodigy
Kirsh - Synth who works for Prodigy and is a trainer and mentor to Wendy
Dame Sylvia - Scientist for Prodigy, also looks after Wendy
Boy Kavalier - Very young CEO of Prodigy
Atom Ein - Boy Kavaliers manipulative advisor
Absolutely no word on the crew of The Maginot, all the character details we know are about those working for Prodigy.
Agreed. He really does channel the Coen's perfectly throughout the entire series.
Basing it on earth is a massive no-no for me. The fact is that once the Xeno reaches earth, It's game over for the human race.
Basing it on the Ridley Scott movies is also a terrible idea, although I will admit that there are plenty of threads in those films that could be developed into something better. Let's not forget, Ridley neither wrote the script nor the screenplay for the 79 movie, so I don't see why we keep giving him the reins to guide the future of the franchise. Even the inclusion of an android in the original wasn't his idea!
Don't get me wrong, as an artistic director, Scott is untouchable, but as has been proven over and over again, as soon as he gets involved with the plot and screenplay of a project, it goes to pieces, mainly because he's always seeking to inject some pseudo religious arc into the proceedings. Having his son on board doesn't necessarily mean Ridley will be involved, but I do fear his legacy will overshadow the proceedings.
Noah Hawley is a bit of an unknown in science fiction. Yes, he did Legion, which was an interesting take on the X-Men character, And Fargo is up there with Twin Peaks as far as surrealist fiction goes, but if he's basing this on Scott's ideas for the future of the Alien franchise, will lead to "Raised by Wolves 2" meets "Pinnochio" via "Space Jesus".
Preferably, Id like to keep the series about the Xeno's. Reference the Scott Movies if it makes sense, but not as the core premise for the entire show, and keep it as far away from Earth as possible. Marvel/Disney have already written 3 comic arcs since taking on the franchise in comic form, so there are ideas being kicked around aplenty, and If we are going to see Walter/David appearance, then let's resolve that story and establish some ideas that expand the universe rather than try to turn it into some AI fuelled nightmare just because Ridley wants to remake a Kubrik movie.
Personally, I would like to see Hawley establish the Xeno's as "that goddam terrifying" and that the creature that the Engineers "worship" (from the Prometheus screenplay) that led to them making "The Black Goo" is actually one of the space jockey species, rather than just writing that creation off as nothing more than a cool-looking space suit for the big white dudes. Establish ideas for the future, and have lots of existential terror, cosmic horrors and atmosphere instead of shooty shooty "acid for blood " moments
I would prefer David to die at hands of his "children"
Luke Scott seems to be involved...
Doubt that he'd just undo his and his father's work in the prequels.
I'm expecting David and the Engineers to be respected but not directly referenced.
Maybe David will get a tiny cameo. A mini message aboard the ship that crashed, perhaps.
Pretty sure that's actually a cable that he was using to crawl up the vertical shaft that he's in that's been split by the Alien, not a whip.
and perhaps do away with the engineers, at last

-Sigourney Weaver
Would love it if they reprised Blomkamp's ideas too. Have Hicks and Newt as characters, grown up and with their traumas, as in Aliens Book One
Some elements from it might inspire bits in the show though.
And if you disagree, you're part of the reason for all the complaints, lol.
I don't think that would make much sense. None of the Betty's crew knew anything about the alien (hence why Call had to explain it to them and why it was so dangerous to breed them), and general Perez also commented that ripley died wiping the species out forcing them to resort to cloning to get their hands on it. If the aliens had overrun earth, they'd be common knowledge and not so hard to come by...
Here's hoping the xenos just take over the whole planet. (Explaining why Earth is f**ked in Resurrection)
Who knows.. maybe they'll even show the start of the Auton Rebellion.
Conceivable Plotline post Advent, David skills up & franchises his Covenant experiments and crashlands this ship into the Prodigy homies for his Weyland Yutani besties
Indeed! And he's producing the upcoming Fede Álvarez Alien film as well.
So it's really more like a 7.
Oh my... crashed spaceship, pre-Alien timeline, a potential way to salvage the Ridley timeline established in the prequels perhaps? I mean, everything we have heard about this series has the "AI touch" that Ridley was very interested in with Prometheus, Covenant, pre-production into Blade Runner 2049 and pretty much his involvement in Raised by Wolves. He is executive producing this, right? Scott Free is involved, as I can see from some posts online. What a tease!
He really said that ? I need to meet this guy and buy him a drink asap
