'Alien: Earth' Renewed for Season 2, Noah Hawley Inks New
Overall Deal With FX and Disney Entertainment Television
---------------------------------------------------------
"Alien: Earth" has been renewed for Season 2 at FX, Variety has
learned. In addition, series creator Noah Hawley has signed a
new overall deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television.

According to an individual with knowledge of the situation,
Hawley's overall deal is valued in the nine figure range.
Production on Season 2 of "Alien: Earth" will begin in London
in 2026, whereas the first season was shot in Thailand.

"It has been our great privilege to work with Noah for more
than a decade on some of FX's best and biggest shows, and we
are thrilled to extend our partnership well into the future,"
said John Landgraf, chairman of FX. "Noah never stops
surprising us with truly original stories- and his unique
ability to bring them to vibrant life as a director and producer
as well as writer makes him extraordinary. We can't wait to get
to work on the next season of 'Alien: Earth,' as well as some
equally exciting future projects in advanced development."

"Alien: Earth" serves as the TV extension of the "Alien" film
franchise. It debuted on FX back in August to strong reviews
from critics and audiences alike. The cast includes Sydney
Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel
Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh
Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille,
and Moe Bar-El.

The official logline for the first season states, "When a
mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman
(Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a
fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's
greatest threat.

"I'm thrilled that this expanded deal opens the door to new
opportunities across all of Disney Entertainment Television,"
said Hawley. "FX has always supported bold, character-driven
storytelling. From the very beginning with Fargo, they've
encouraged me to take creative risks and follow the story
wherever it leads. I'm grateful to continue exploring the world
of 'Alien: Earth' alongside our partners, cast, and crew as we
begin the next chapter."

Hawley is the creator and executive producer "Alien: Earth."
Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Clayton Krueger, Emilia Serrano,
Bob DeLaurentis, Peter Calloway, Monica Macer, John Campisi and
Simon Emanuel also serve as executive producers. The series is
produced by FX Productions.

"I learned first-hand that Noah was a unique talent while we
worked on 'Fargo' at FX," said Eric Schrier, president of Disney
Television Studios & Global Original Television Strategy. "He has
gone on to make many of the best shows in television, and I
couldn't be more excited that Noah will continue his FX
partnership and broaden it across Disney Entertainment
Television."

Hawley first came to FX with the anthology series "Fargo" in 2014.
Five seasons of that series have aired to date, with the show
collectively winning seven Emmy Awards out of 70 nominations, as
well as three Golden Globes out of 14 nominations. Hawley also
created the FX-Marvel series "Legion," which aired for three
seasons at the network.

Hawley is repped by WME, Untitled Entertainment, Sunshine Sachs
Morgan & Lylis, and McKuin Frankel Whitehead.
