FX is on a roll right now: filming has just wrapped on its rather exciting Alien series, and Shōgun season two is ready to begin. While the subject matter is somewhat different – there aren't many face-huggers or chest-bursters in Shōgun – they're both high-quality shows that are causing some excitement.
The Alien prequel show has now been given an official title too, Alien: Earth, after being moved from production into the visual effects stage. That's according to showrunner Noah Hawley, who told Variety that "it's a very big show". And while only one season has been produced so far, everyone is "pretty bullish" about the prospect of more. Network boss John Langraf says that the assumption is that Alien: Earth "is a returning television series" and that he wants Hawley to write two seasons before returning to his other big show, Fargo.
