After the surprise success of "Prey" on Hulu/Disney+ in 2022, 20th Century Studios and Disney have wasted no time and are developing more "Predator" and "Alien" projects for both cinemas and TV. Up next is "Alien: Romulus" (tentative title) from "Evil Dead" (2013) director Fede Álvarez, a new standalone movie that's returning to the series' roots.
Word on the street is that the movie was originally set to be released on Hulu, but studio executives were so impressed by the production — as well as the stellar reception and performance of "Prey" — that the seventh non-crossover "Alien" installment was granted a theatrical release. Meanwhile, Noah Hawley ("Fargo," "Legion") has been developing the first-ever "Alien" TV show for FX/Hulu. As far as we know, there's no narrative tissue connecting both projects, besides the fact that they both happen in the same universe.
