Alien: Earth Season 2 Begins Filming for Hulu
Cameras are rolling on Alien: Earth Season 2, Hulu's hit sci-fi series from Noah Hawley starring Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant.
Production on the second season of Alien: Earth is officially underway, with cameras now rolling on the Hulu series. The show, the Alien franchise's first television project, was written by Noah Hawley and became a hit in 2025.
Hulu took time after the Season 1 finale to confirm a second season, and the series currently ranks as one of the most-watched TV shows in the world on streaming charts. It stars Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant.
The franchise remains busy on the film side as well. Ridley Scott produced Alien: Romulus through his Scott Free banner, and during the press tour for his latest film, The Dog Stars, Scott said he is working with Michael Fassbender on a new Alien movie centered on the character David.
The Dog Stars, which Scott directed and which stars Josh Brolin, Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce and Benedict Wong, is expected to leave theaters soon as one of the lowest-grossing Ridley Scott productions. Collider reported the latest updates on the franchise's television and film plans.
