Alien TV Series From Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott CONFIRMED

[Nightmare Asylum]

Aye, fingers crossed he gets to direct at least one episode of Blade Runner 2099 and, here's hoping, an episode of this new Alien show as well, assuming it is prequel-based, and assuming it does end up being a real thing.

I'd imagine he likely won't be personally directing any episodes of Hawley's series (especially with his own Gladiator sequel shoot halted indefinitely due to the strikes, so who knows what his schedule is going to be like once production on that is able to resume).

Agreed. He's probably just giving a gentleman's nod at Hawley's show and collecting a check. Let's just have Ridley direct as much as possible while we still got the man!

[ralfy]

Just get good writers. That'll do.

[Kane's other son]

It's possible that the Alien show, like Fargo, is an anthology and season 2 will have ties to Covenant.

Ignore Prometheus and Covenant please!

It's going to, but if you didn't like what those did, you'll hate this even more.

Ridley trying to turn Alien Destiny into a limited show makes sense...

He's already spearheading the move to turn Blade Runner into a tv show.

Fairly optimistic that there's some grain of truth behind that rumour.

I've seen a handful of mentions about Alien:Destiny. Was this a cancelled project?

That was the title being used internally for Ridley Scott's Covenant followup, at the time of its cancelation.

Does everybody have hope for this TV show? I know it's way early but  based on the leaks do you guy have hope that this will be good?

[Local Trouble]

We have a couple of Antipodeans here who might be somewhat less than enthused.

I'm one of them, and I think it's going to be well shot and convey the emotions of its characters well, but is basically an unrelated sci fi show with a wildly different tone, with Aliens thrown into a few episodes as far as I can tell so far. What we know so far about the setting and story really strikes me as Elysium x Species more than anything at all in the Alien series.

[Some Old Dude]

I'm down for the ridiculousness of what I'm hearing, I just don't get why it needs to be a prequel to Alien and not set post 2179.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I just don't get why it needs to be a prequel to Alien and not set post 2179.

This is the main thing that's perplexing me right now. I'm sure there's some big reason that we don't know of yet that accounts for why it has to be set pre-Alien, but so far, nothing has come to light that's given us the rationale on that decision.

I'm sure there's some big reason that we don't know of yet
