The Alien franchise is set to continue on the small screen with an “FX on Hulu” TV series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, a show that began filming last year, then had to halt production after a month due to the actors strike. It’s been a few months since we’ve heard any news about this project, as director Fede Alvarez’s film Alien: Romulus (which is set to reach theatres on August 16th) has been getting all of the attention, but now Deadline has confirmed that filming has resumed in Thailand – and Sandra Yi Sencindiver of Foundation has joined the cast to play “a senior member of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation” in multiple episodes. “We hear there’s scope for the character to grow in future seasons.”

There’s a lot going on in the world of Alien at the moment. The original classic is returning to theaters, for starters, and the Xenomorphs will be fighting Marvel’s superheroes in the upcoming mashup comic Aliens vs. Avengers. Of course, the main event for 2024 is Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, a brand new big screen movie set between Alien and Aliens!
With so much going on, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Disney is also working on an “Alien” television series, in the works for FX from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”).
The Alien franchise’s first ever television series is likely to arrive sometime in 2025, set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place on Earth, roughly 70 years in the future.
FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”
So what’s the latest on the “Alien” TV series?...

Fargo and Alien are not necessarily two projects that you’d associate with each other but they both come from the mind of Noah Hawley and are for FX.
The former has just finished its fifth season starring Jon Hamm and Juno Temple, while the latter is shooting in Thailand ahead of a 2025 launch.
When asked whether there were plans for a sixth season of Fargo, FX boss John Landgraf said it depends of how Alien pans out.
[Alien] is big imaginative reimagining of that franchise. It was really fun to watch [Noah] take on the Alien franchise in the way I watched him take on Fargo, to try to figure out how to deconstruct where the magic of it comes from and what were the key ingredients and how he can deliver those ingredients in a different way without just repeating things that have been done before,” he said.

Alien TV series is meant to run for multiple seasons, but Noah Hawley knows where the story is going
The Alien franchise is set to continue on the small screen with an “FX on Hulu” TV series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, a show that began filming last year, then had to halt production after a month due to the actors strike. Production is set to resume any day now – and during an interview with Collider, Hawley confirmed that while the series is intended to be a recurring show that will last for more than one season, he also knows where the story is going. He’s just not sure yet how many seasons it will take to get there.
Hawley said, “I think that endings are what gives a story meaning, and so you should never start a story without some sense of where it’s going because then you can really build that meaning into it. With Legion, I had what felt like a three-act structure to...

[This story contains spoilers from Fargo’s season five finale, “Bisquik.”]
For Fargo season five star Juno Temple, nothing was going to get in the way of Dorothy “Dot” Lyon’s mostly happy ending.
When the dust settled on Noah Hawley’s tremendous fifth season of Fargo, Dot finally overcame her wickedly abusive ex-husband Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), his hired gun who happened to be a 500-year-old sin-eater named Ole Munch (Sam Spruell) and her mistrustful mother-in-law, Lorraine Lyon (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Dot thought her quarrel with Munch was settled when he saved her and freed her at Roy’s ranch so she could put a stop to the latter’s vicious cycle of abuse once and for all, but a year after Roy ended up in handcuffs, Dot and her daughter Scotty (Sienna King) arrived home to see Munch sitting in their living room with their respective, unsuspecting husband and father, Wayne (David Rysdahl...

Note: This story contains spoilers from the “Fargo” Season 5 finale.
As touching as Juno Temple’s role on “Fargo” may have been for fans of the FX anthology series, it’s a relationship that goes both ways. The actress described her time on Noah Hawley’s anthology series as both “terrifying” and “one of the most extraordinary experiences” of her career.
“Characters like Dot [do] not come along very often, definitely not to me. I’m eternally grateful to Noah [Hawley] for having the faith in me to play her,” Temple told TheWrap after the crime-drama’s Season 5 finale on Tuesday. “She’s made me a much, much more aware, insightful, maybe even motherly woman. Also, it was something that challenged me in a way that I want to be challenged. I want to feel terrified every day before I go to work because I want to make people proud. This job did that in spades.

[This story contains major spoilers from the season five finale of Fargo.]
Antecedently on Fargo season five, Juno Temple’s Dorothy Lyon battled against a centuries-old sin eater named Ole Munch (Sam Spruell), reckoned with her violent ex-husband and current lawman Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), all while negotiating family politics with her mother-in-law Lorraine (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and receiving assistance from good souls like deputy Indira Olmstead (Richa Moorjani) and state trooper Witt Farr (Lamorne Morris).
Now, all of those characters are done struggling, at least on screen, and one of them is done struggling forever, thanks to a blade in the dark. As always, Fargo concludes with Coenesque violence, but also, with Coenesque questions — this time, the question being: What do we do with debt? Do we owe, or do we forgive?

Warning: The following post contains spoilers about tonight’s fifth season finale of FX’s Fargo, “Bisquik”
Who knew a TV series based on an iconic Oscar-winning Coen Brothers noir movie had so much juice in it five seasons out?
But Fargo series creator Noah Hawley continues to prove that there’s a thousand bodies buried in those Minnesota snow drifts.
Granted, M.A.S.H. ran for 11 seasons; the industry joke being that the CBS show ran longer than the actual three-year Korean War. But similar to how Larry Gelbart pulled a relentless amount of inspiration from that 1970 Robert Altman, Hawley’s mind for ‘true stories’ about folksy Scandinavian-Midwesterners isn’t blank yet like a freshly fallen snow.
Typically, especially in streaming times, a series checks out around season 3, and to see Fargo in a renaissance, testosterone mode this season has even given Hawley a new sense of hope for the FX series.

A 10-episode season is far too short a time to spend with Dot, Wayne, Scotty, Lorraine, Witt, Roy, Indira, and, yes, even Gator. Unfortunately, that’s all we get with FX’s Fargo season five as episode 10, “Bisquik,” brings the second-best season of the series to a close.
The season finale opens with the now-blind Gator (Joe Keery) deserted by his dad and left to make it back to the ranch on his own. He whines as he repeatedly falls and then eventually makes it into the secret tunnel almost by accident.
Gator emerges from the tunnel in a field and is immediately spotted by the FBI. He throws up his hands, no longer the arrogant vape-addict we’ve come to know and loathe.
Meanwhile, “patriots” line the ranch’s fence on Roy Tillman’s orders, fully prepared to take on the FBI. North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr (Lamorne Morris...

This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5 episode 10 and No Country for Old Men.
After an underwhelming fourth season, FX’s Fargo found excellence again with season 5. The fifth season of this anthology series inspired by the Coen Brothers’ film and created by TV auteur Noah Hawley returned to the “present” (or 2019 at least) for an inspired yarn about family, debt, and the creeping fascistic rot in small town America.
The cast was at the top of their game including Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) as the resourceful Dorothy “Dot” Lyon and Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as “constitutional” sheriff Roy Tillman. Fargo season 5 didn’t need to stick the landing for its 10-episode saga about Dot winning her life back from the abusive Roy to have weight. Still, a good ending would have been one hell of a bonus. That ending arrives in the final episode “Bisquik” and thankfully, it’s a good one.

Decades after making the sci-fi horror classic Alien, director Ridley Scott returned to the Alien franchise with the intention of making a series of prequels that would tell us all about the “Space Jockey” and the creation of the xenomorph. The mythology Scott presented in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant didn’t sit well with a lot of fans – and when Alien: Covenant underwhelmed and underperformed, his prequel series came to an early end. Now the franchise is set to continue with a new film directed by Fede Alvarez and an “FX on Hulu” TV series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley… and during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hawley confirmed that he’s one of the fans who wasn’t very impressed by the story told in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. So don’t expect to see nods to the mythology or technology of those films in the TV show.

The Alien franchise will return with its first ever television series in 2025, and it’s set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place on Earth, roughly 70 years in the future.
Creator Noah Hawley‘s take on the Alien franchise has been described as both an “extension and reinvention” of the films, but don’t expect Ridley Scott’s prequel movies to factor into the series. Scott, who’s on board the FX series as producer, dug into the origins of the Xenomorphs in both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, but Hawley reveals in a new chat with Kcrw’s The Business that he’s not interested in playing with any of those story threads.
Furthermore, he’s only interested in exploring the tech of the original two movies.

“Fargo” showrunner Noah Hawley teased his new FX series “Alien” in a recent interview with Kcrw’s The Business.
Though plot details are being kept under wraps, Hawley’s “Alien” series is set on Earth and roughly 70 years in future, predating the original film series.
Hawley was asked whether or not he would incorporate the backstory in Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” (2012) and “Alien: Covenant” (2017) into his FX series. The prequel films included a controversial backstory where the aliens were manufactured as a bioweapon by a mysterious race known as the Engineers.
“Ridley and I have talked about this — and many, many elements of the show,” Hawley said. “For me, and for a lot of people, this ‘perfect life form’ — as it was described in the first film — is the product of millions of years of evolution that created this creature that may have existed for a million years out there in space.

Emmy winner Noah Hawley is teasing his highly anticipated FX Alien prequel series.

Hawley was asked by interviewer Eric Deggans about Alien, which is set on Earth about 70 years into the future, predating the feature film franchise.
Right out of the gate, Hawley showed his understanding of the franchise by giving a rather perfect description of what Alien is really about: “The thing with Alien is that it’s not just a great monster movie. It’s the story of humanity trapped between its primordial parasitic past and its AI future, and they’re both trying to kill us. So, there’s nowhere to go. It’s really a story of does humanity deserve to survive? Does humanity’s arrogance in thinking that we’re no longer food and its arrogance in...

FX’s Fargo season five episode eight, the season’s penultimate episode, is one of the series’ finest hours of storytelling. It opens with Ole Munch (Sam Spruell) punishing Gator (Joe Keery) for his innumerable acts of cruelty, topped off by the murder of Ole’s elderly mother.
Gator tries to bribe Ole into letting him go, but Ole doesn’t care one iota about promises of women, weapons, or cash. Tied to a chair, Gator can only whimper and beg as he realizes Ole’s about to take a red-hot knife to his eyes. An eye for an eye, correct? “This for that,” says Ole, adding, “What is taken must be given.”
Over at the Tillman Ranch, Dot (Juno Temple) is back in the game after a brief moment of despair at the end of episode seven.

Fargo creator Noah Hawley is making an Alien TV series for “FX on Hulu”, and the show started filming in Bangkok, Thailand last year – but then, after a month, production had to be paused to wait out the Screen Actors Guild strike. That strike is now over, and Alien is expected to resume filming any day now. As production revs back up, Deadline has learned that Moe Bar-El, whose previous credits include The Peripheral, Better, Femme, and Count Abdulla, has been cast in a recurring role. They just weren’t able to dig up any details on the role he’ll be playing.
Bar-El joins previously announced cast members Sydney Chandler (Pistol) as the meta-human Wendy, who has the body of an adult, but the brain and consciousness of a child; Essie Davis (The Babadook) as Dame Silvia, Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World) as a soldier named Cj,...

The cast for FX’s “Alien” series continues to grow, with Deadline reporting that actor Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral) joins in recurring capacity. More interestingly, the announcement gives a bit more insight to the many of the characters in the series.
The series is “set in a time period before Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley and is the first story in the franchise that takes place on Earth, roughly 70 years in the future.” FX originally noted, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”
Bar-El joins previously announced cast members Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla,” “Damilola”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984,” “Noughts and Crosses”), Erana James (“Uproar,” “The Wilds”), Lily Newmark (“Pin Cushion,” “Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black,” “Alex Rider 3”), and Adrian Edmondson, Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror...

FX is gearing up to put viewers back into the world of Alien with the vision of Noah Hawley, and while details of the highly-anticipated prequel series remain minimal, star David Rysdahl is hinting at some good things ahead. Rysdahl is currently starring in Hawley’s Fargo for the network as car salesman and dutiful husband Wayne Lyon (below) in Year 5 of the acclaimed anthology series. When TV Insider caught up with the star regarding his ongoing role in the Midwest-set dark comedy, we asked him about what fans might be able to expect from the forthcoming Alien project. (Credit: Frank W Ockenfels III/FX) “I mean, if you would’ve told me two years ago that I would’ve been in Fargo and then in Alien, I would’ve been like, ‘What are you on?'” Rysdahl exclaims. “So the idea that I get to [star in these shows]… I mean, I grew...

This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5 episode 7 “Linda.”
FX’s Fargo is not shy about indulging one-off sojourns into the realm of the fantastical. The show’s second season featured a UFO deus ex machina while season 3 took time out for a trip to a celestial bowling alley that might be the afterlife or at least the soundstage for The Big Lebowski.
Fargo‘s latest dip into the dreamworld, however, is one of its most impressive yet. Fargo season 5 episode 7 “Linda” finds our hero Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple) visiting the mysterious Camp Utopia to find her abusive ex-husband Roy Tillman’s (Jon Hamm) first wife Linda (Kari Matchett). In the process she stumbles into a whole bunch of other Lindas (who greet with one another with a cheerful “Hi Linda” like in Barbie) … and some puppets.
At first glance, the proceedings come across as reality – albeit a strange reality.

FX’s Fargo season five episode seven begins with the introduction of an obnoxious new character. However, don’t get too attached to the deadbeat dude as Ole Munch (Sam Spruell) decides to wipe him off the face of the earth in an act that’s brutal yet justifiable within the episode’s first five minutes. Can’t say that the jerk didn’t have it coming.
Dot (Juno Temple) is burning the candle at both ends, trying to keep ahead of Roy Tillman and his many minions. She briefly nods off at the wheel but wakes before the car drifts off the road. Dot wisely decides to grab a meal and a coffee at a roadside café.
Poor Dot, she nods off again right at the table, waking to the delivery of smiley face pancakes.

The upcoming ‘Alien’ TV series is creating a buzz, and David Rysdahl, a star in the show, is adding to the excitement. He promises the series will offer a fresh, thrilling experience while respecting the original Alien movie’s essence. This is not a simple copy of the old story; it’s something new and different.
Noah Hawley, the showrunner, is known for his work on ‘Fargo.’ He’s using the same approach for ‘Alien.’ He looks at the core of the original movie – its themes, worldview, and intent – and then reimagines it. This means we can expect the series to feel familiar but also surprisingly new.
Rysdahl emphasizes that this new series will not just replay the old plot points. Instead, it will explore the Alien universe in a novel way, maintaining the excitement and thrill of the original. Fans of the franchise should be ready for an adventure...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5, Episode 4, “Insolubilia.”] For any fans who have been tuning in to FX‘s latest installment of Fargo, they’ve seen Juno Temple‘s Dot Lyon making weapons out of household items, ranging from hairspray and a lighter to a custom-made zombie killer (nail bat). While kidnappers attempted to grab the Minnesota housewife in the first episode of the season, she managed to thwart them with her inventive attitude and drive to survive. But in the most recent fourth episode, “Insolubilia,” Dot was forced to get even more physical as former stepson Gator (Joe Keery) came for her and her family with a new crew. (Credit: FX) Booby-trapping her house like a Home Alone movie, Dot knocks one of the kidnappers out with a sledgehammer rigged to a chain above her front door and confuses others with her Halloween decorations littering the hallway. When Dot’s husband Wayne (David Rysdahl...

For the last five years, Fargo star David Rysdahl has been quietly turning in a number of quality performances, and now the audience and industry alike are catching on.
Beginning with Dead Pigs, Cathy Yan’s feature directorial debut premiered at 2018’s Sundance Film Festival garnering Rysdahl and the rest of the cast a special jury prize for ensemble acting. But despite the recognition and rave reviews, the foreign-language film failed to receive distribution until a year after Yan’s second feature, Birds of Prey, had been released by Warners in 2020. That same year, Rysdahl stood out again in another Sundance darling, Edson Oda’s Nine Days.
Everything would soon change for Rysdahl in 2022, when he was cast in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, Black Mirror season six and Noah Hawley’s fifth season of Fargo. In the latter project, Rysdahl plays Wayne Lyon, a well-intentioned car salesman,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5 Episode 4, “Insolubilia.”] Fargo‘s fifth year took a terrifying turn for Dot (Juno Temple) and her family in Episode 4, “Insolubilia,” as Gator (Joe Keery) the son of her possessive former husband Roy (Jon Hamm), broke in with intentions to kidnap her. The Halloween-timed scheme unfolds in her booby-trapped home while her husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) and daughter Scotty (Sienna King) take temporary refuge in the attic of their home until their hideaway is uncovered. While Dot takes on the kidnappers single-handedly for the first half of the break-in, soon the whole family is involved as Wayne listens to her instructions but begs for answers as to why this mystery man is calling his wife “Nadine.” Once the immediate threats are neutralized, Dot tells her family to escape down the laundry shoot, but Wayne opts for the trellis out his and Dot’s bedroom window, forgetting that she’s...

Something festive, something spooky, something downright oogie boogie has been lurking around Fargo season 5 since its very first scene.
Flash back, if you will, to the opening moments of episode 1 “The Tragedy of the Commons.” The viewer is immediately thrust into chaos. Punches are being thrown at a meeting of the Fall Festival Planning Committee in Scandia Middle School. Look past the melee of writhing white Midwesterners towards to stage and what do you see? That’s right: crude plywood renderings of the iconic landscapes from the 1993 animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Later on, as Dorothy Lyon (Juno Temple) is being escorted out of the school, we see two Nightmare Before Christmas posters, confirming it as Scandia Middle School’s fall show.

Are they surprised to find the doors unlocked? Probably, but it’s impossible to tell because of their Nightmare Before Christmas masks.
Armed with tasers, knives, and guns – and half a brain between them – they slowly make their way through the house. Smoke pours out of the oven and Dot (Juno Temple) watches from inside a closet, waiting to launch her attack.
The tension ratchets up along with the action as the lights go out, a smoke alarm sounds, and a strobe light flashes. It turns out the strobe light’s coming from a plastic jack-o-lantern with a maniacal laugh. While one intruder’s distracted looking at the pumpkin,...

Fargo creator Noah Hawley is making an Alien TV series for “FX on Hulu”, and it actually started filming in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this year – but then production had to be paused to wait out the Screen Actors Guild strike. That strike is now over, and as Alien gears up to go back into production in the new year, we’ve been hearing new bits of casting news. Earlier this week, we heard that Timothy Olyphant (Justified) and David Rysdahl, who worked with Hawley on Fargo season 5, are in the cast. Now Variety reports that the main cast is rounded out by six more names: Babou Ceesay (Guerrilla), Jonathan Ajayi (Wonder Woman 1984), Erana James (The Wilds), Lily Newmark (Sex Education), Diêm Camille (Washington Black), and Adrian Edmondson (The Young Ones).

Sheriff Roy Tillman believes he's above the law in the fifth season of the Fargo TV show on FX.

Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the fifth season episodes of Fargo here.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5, Episodes 1-3.] When it comes to Fargo, the series isn’t one you’d expect to pull blatant influences from other popular culture, but Year 5 is flipping the script a bit with its Nightmare Before Christmas influences. As viewers who tuned into the first three episodes saw, and heard, there is more than one allusion to the Tim Burton stop-motion animated classic. The first tease occurs while Dot (Juno Temple) attempts to sleep after being booked by the police in the first installment, “The Tragedy of the Commons.” Fearful about what might be coming for her, we see a flash of masked individuals donning the likeness of Jack Skellington and other characters from the film. (Credit: FX) And as the second episode, “Trials and Tribulations,” comes to a close, Dot sits down to dinner with her husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) and daughter Scotty (Sienna King) at the moment...

The truth isn’t stranger than fiction; it can also be wildly bloodier when Fargo twists things the way he has for years.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5 Episode 1 “The Tragedy of the Commons” & Episode 2 “Trials and Tribulations.” ] FX‘s Fargo delivers quite a catfight in its Year 5 two-handed opener as Juno Temple‘s Dot Lyon and Jennifer Jason Leigh‘s Lorraine Lyon go toe-to-toe. As the Debt Queen of the Midwest, Lorraine is intent on protecting her billionaire status, preserving her family, and getting to the bottom of Dot’s story as she learns she doesn’t know her daughter-in-law as well as she once believed. When Dot goes missing after being kidnapped in the premiere episode, she turns up back at her Minnesota home, only to pretend that none of it happened. Seeking some clarity, Lorraine exercises her power by showing up, unannounced, at her son Wayne (David Rysdahl) and daughter-in-law’s home, settling in the kitchen until Dot arrives with her daughter Scotty (Sienna King).

Living under the name Dorothy Lyon, she’s married to meek car dealer Wayne (David Rysdahl), who is loosely based on William H. Macy‘s Jerry Lundegaard from the Coen brothers film. Unlike Jerry, though, Wayne has no insider ...
