We last heard about the Alien FX series back in February when filming had resumed in Thailand. FX chairman John Landgraf said the Alien series is a “big imaginative reimagining of that franchise” and is designed to be an ongoing series.
The show stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, Kit Young, Timothy Olyphant, David Rysdahl, Babou Cessay, Erana James, Lily Newmark and Adrian Edmonson. The Alien series is supposed to be aiming for a release in the first half of 2025 on the Hulu streaming platform.
Thanks to The Eighth Passenger for the news.

I imagine Alien Day 2025 will be all about the series though.
He's been working on this thing for like 3 1/2 years. Taking 5 minutes to post a photo acknowledging the people who will be supporting his show next year won't keep him from continuing his work on it 🤷🏼
Delivers a mind melting, 50 minute soliloquy directly to the viewer.
Neat. Really looking forward to seeing how it is executed in this.

I truely don't think it's a big deal. I'd rather he focuses on making the actual thing then be forced to address the fans in some awkward video or half assed photo. He doesn't seem like the type to engage with fandom in that way, and I think that's totally fine.
And yes. Is very important execution. I Love Noah H and want see his reinvent Alien more than Romulus ( too i see of course).
But want know. Alien/Noah is universe Alien o not?.Let them explain it clearly publicly.
It is his series that will be in or out, not the rest.
He is no one to decide about the rest.
I'm just saying that if it breaks a lot continuity, it's the series that's out like Legion. And Fox want Legion same universo but Noah reinvent a lot and chague idea Fox.
It can happen again with the Alien series.
In post-production Fox will surely decide this. And is sure than decision is only serie in or out , not rest movies, no prequels.
What matters is the execution. You can have a remarkable story in its own universe and a bad one being canon.
Btw, Legion is dope.
Months later before the premiere that changed. He said it was another universe.
Noah doesn't rule. If continuity changes a lot THE SERIES will be out of the Alien universe. Not Prequels.
Romulus connects with Alien but connects with prequels too becose is a same universe. Romulus and prequels is another universe? . Obviously not.
Noah will or will not change continuity like he did with Legion but if it is drastic Fox will do the same as Legion even though Fox wanted Legion in the same universe. But Noah broke up a lot and there was no other option.
Scott does not want prequels outside or Fox. There may be errors like in the X-MEN cinematic universe but EVERYTHING is the same universe except Legion ( other timeline )
Noah can cause that with the Alien series if he breaks everything like Legion. But only with little errors sitill is universe Alien. There will errors because Noah is like that
That also crossed my mind, given which version of the WY logo was used in the concept art you shared.
There was also a comment from last year where Hawley referred to the prequels as "historical documents," which is why I've been so inclined to think that he might just be retconning the Alien's origins but still leaving it that the prequels themselves exist within the continuity of his series.
In light of the apparent pre-Prometheus existence of Weyland-YUTANI, however... I have no idea what to think anymore.
Remember what Noah said about ignoring the prequels? That might extend to more than just what the prequels did with the Aliens.
And that's fine.
Quite possibly since it will of course have a longer duration than the movie. I would be very surprised if it didn't fiddle with the lore a lot.
Perhaps the series spans several years and after Weyland's disappearance his company merges with Yutani?
👏

They say it deals with the "emergence" of WY, so it may not necessarily have the conglomerate in this. Deadline sometimes gets stuff wrong. Either that or Hawley is completely ignoring/retconning Prometheus.
The actress is Korean, so she can pass as Japanese. Perhaps a Yutani executive?
>Before Prometheus
Make this make sense!
