Alien: Earth Showrunner and creator Noah Hawley has spoken formally on the sequence timeline and the way it hyperlinks to the Alien movie chronology. Regardless of earlier remarks suggesting the present exists in its personal parallel timeline separate to the movie’s sequence of canonical occasions, a more moderen interview has Hawley confirming the opposite – the present and movie’s exist in the identical timeline and never solely that, Noah has plans of probably linking to James Cameron’s sequel ALIENS in some unspecified time in the future as nicely!
The quote which I’ve transcribed from this interview clearly states Hawley’s intentions with Alien: Earth, after being requested “The place within the Alien universe timeline does the sequence exist”:
We begin a pair years earlier than they get up, on the Nostromo, earlier than Ridley’s movie, so we’re contemperanius with the unique movie and relying on how lengthy the present runs, you already know, we would head towards the second movie. However there’s a variety of unfavorable area within the Alien franchise as a result of they’re asleep for majority of the years that go by…
Wording issues and Noah Hawley is selectively calculated together with his wording. To say the sequence is contemperanius with the unique movie means it exists collectively in the identical time period. To additional recommend the sequence would possibly join in a technique to the second movie additionally suggests a transparent indication that the does NOT in reality exist in its personal lane, so to talk.
Alien: Earth – Hadley’s Hope Season?
The place might future seasons of Alien: Earth go? Properly, it goes with out saying that the sequence might deal with the development of Hadley’s Hope – the Weyland-Yutani colony established on LV-426, the identical location as Ridley’s authentic Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens. The season might dive deeper into the conspiracy surrounding Weyland-Yutani’s pursuits there, the Derelict spacecraft itself and far more. There’s a lot to attract from inside that timeframe from the creation of Hadley’s Hope to the second Xenomorphs obtained unfastened and took over.
The sequence might simply narratively navigate itself to keep away from run-ins with Newt’s household, it being an enormous colony with many story arcs and backstories accessible to select from.
Alien: Earth season 1 will likely be coming to an finish inside 2 extra weeks and FX have already secured a second season. It is unlikely season 2 will leap to occasions between the primary and second Alien movie, since a lot will likely be left to be explored from season 1 throughout its prequel time interval. However, it seems like a 3rd or fourth season might very nicely discover a possible Hadley’s Hope or another type of ALIENS tie-in. If that’s the case, I simply hope they formulate the story in a coherent means that does not confuse issues any additional.
What do YOU assume? Ought to the sequence discover places and timeframes like Hadley’s Hope in a future season? Or ought to these intervals stay omitted from prying eyes and protect the thriller there? Tell us your ideas within the feedback!
