FX Renews Alien: Earth for Season 2 as Noah Hawley Extends Deal with Disney Television

FX’s Alien: Earth will return for Season 2, with creator Noah Hawley renewing his deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television.

The sci-horror juggernaut Alien: Earth isn’t done yet. In a major move, FX has officially renewed the series for a second season—and showrunner Noah Hawley has signed a new overall deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television, per a Deadline exclusive. 

Alien: Earth, which dropped its first season earlier this year to a wave of critical and fan attention, unfolds a chilling narrative of xenomorphs, synthetic hybrids and corporate horror. The renewal signals FX’s confidence that the series’ sprawling mythology has more terrain to cover—and Hawley’s nine-figure deal suggests the network is banking on him to lead the charge.

While FX hasn’t disclosed a production timeline yet, reports suggest filming for Season 2 is slated to begin in London in 2026, shifting away from the Thailand backdrop of Season 1. 

For genre fans, this is an important moment. Alien: Earth isn’t just a spin on a classic franchise—it’s one of the most ambitious horror-sci-fi series in years. The renewal and renewed deal guarantee that the story will push forward, not plateau. If you’re keeping track of where horror is going on TV, this is it.
