The Alien franchise has reached a crucial turning point. With the last two movies, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, both failing to set the box office alight the franchise is looking to the small screen to ensure its future.
Overnight HN Entertainment has shared a rumour regarding development of not one, but two Alien based TV series.
The site reports that according to a source, one of the series is said to have Ridley Scott as an executive producer and is going to be for Hulu. Given that 20th Century Fox and Disney are about to merge and both own a 30% stake in the platform that would make sense.
It is said the first series could take the Fargo approach to storytelling with each season acting as part of an anthology on the Alien universe.
There’s no news on what the second series might be at this stage.
