Alien Earth Renewed for Season 2: FX’s Sci-Fi Hit Is Coming Back

FX is officially giving fans another trip to the dark, acid-dripping edges of the galaxy. Alien Earth has been renewed for Season 2, proving that Ridley Scott’s cinematic nightmare still has plenty of extraterrestrial life left in it. After a buzzy debut and a finale that left audiences gasping (and googling), the renewal was announced by FX chairman John Landgraf, along with news that creator Noah Hawley has inked an overall deal with the network. Translation: the xenomorphs aren’t done haunting our screens just yet.

The first season of Alien Earth carved out a unique space in the Alien franchise, with corporate greed, human ambition, and monsters into a chilling cocktail of horror and philosophy. Hawley’s cerebral approach divided some fans but intrigued plenty more, making it one of the most talked-about sci-fi shows of the year. The renewal cements FX’s confidence in Hawley’s long-term vision, a story that promises to expand beyond survival horror and into deeper moral and existential territory.

Production for Season 2 is set to move from Thailand to London with a new visual and tonal direction. Hawley has teased that the first season was merely a “proof of concept,” hinting that the next chapter will fully unleash the show’s larger mythology. While casting and release details are still under wraps, fans can expect more of the same high-stakes tension, grimly poetic dialogue, and yes, the occasional facehugger cameo.

Alien Earth Season 2 doesn’t just promise more blood and screams. It offers the chance to see how far humanity will go when faced with the ultimate predator and the mirror it holds up to our own worst instincts. Keep your flamethrowers ready, because FX’s next round of intergalactic terror is officially on the way and The TV Cave will be watching every acid-burned minute of it.
