New York Comic-Con 2025 invited Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Babou Ceesay, Samuel Blenkin and EP David W. Zucker to talk about the series. Here’s what The Mary Sue learned about the making of the stunning FX series and what they think a potential Season 2 could entail. The network has not yet made an official announcement, but given the enthusiasm at NYCC’s Empire Stage there’s certainly an audience for it!
At the panel, moderated by esteemed TV critic Alan Sepinwall, the cast began by sharing their experience with the original 1979 film. Most of them, like many of us, watched Alien waaay too young. “My mum had a crush on Sigourney Weaver,” Lawther, who plays Joe, remembered. “And I had a crush on John Hurt.” Chandler, who plays Wendy was an Alien superfan.
