In the final moments of Alien: Earth Season 1, Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and her hybrid compatriots are officially on top, and they’ve got more muscle than Prodigy or Weyland-Yutani put together. The question of who is in control at the end of the episode, at least in the Prodigy compound, is clear. And, so, when the inevitable Alien: Earth Season 2 shows up, there’s plenty of new conflict and certainly new character dynamics to explore. Will Weyland-Yutani ever get their aliens back? What will Wendy do with Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin), Morrow (Babou Ceesay), and the rest? Clearly, there’s a lot to cover in future seasons, and this thrilling ending opens up certain doors by literally and figuratively closing others.
But, as “Animal” by Pearl Jam shreds over the ending credits, even the most loyal fans of Alien: Earth are probably still asking themselves one question. And if Alien: Earth Season 2 fails to answer this question somewhat rapidly, it’s possible the series could be in danger of losing its hard-earned credibility.
