An new deal between Noah Hawley, the creator of Alien: Earth, and FX/Disney Entertainment Television has sealed the fate of the sci-fi series. And thankfully, it’s good news.
According to FX, Alien: Earth has been renewed for Season 2, with filming beginning in London next year. “I’m thrilled that this expanded deal opens the door to new opportunities across all of Disney Entertainment Television,” said Hawley. And though the terms of the new deal haven’t been revealed, Hawley’s partnership with FX began with FX’s Fargo in 2014. And, to date through five installments, the show has won 7 Emmy® Awards and 3 Golden Globe® Awards.
