FX has renewed the series “Alien: Earth” for a second season, Variety reports.
Noah Hawley (“Fargo”, “Legion”) will once again serve as showrunner. Set in 2120—before the events of the franchise’s original film—”Earth” centers on hybrids with the consciousness of children who investigate extraterrestrial creatures after a starship crash.
The cast includes Cindy Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis and others. “Alien: Earth” premiered in August of this year and ran for eight episodes. Critics responded favorably to the show, which holds a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
