I'm generally a bit skeptical about the staying power of series.
I prefer completed series that end on a high note with a good ending.
However, there are only very few of them and many are hired open-ended due to increasing disinterest.
I'm really looking forward to the Alien series but I'm also worried that the story probably won't fit into the currently existing Alien universe and we'll end up with another confusing timeline.
The Alien role-playing game has excellently linked the entire collection of Alien films and secondary stories such as Alien Isolation.
If Hawley went his own personal way and reinvented everything, so to speak, it wouldn't be helpful.
