**Alien: Earth Season 2 Officially in Development**
Sci-fi horror fans, rejoice! *Alien: Earth* season 2 has officially been announced. Following the success and buzz generated by its debut season in August and September, the much-anticipated second season is set to return on Hulu and Disney+.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, principal photography for the new season is expected to begin in London sometime in 2026. While no exact start date has been confirmed, the majority of the primary cast from season 1 are expected to reprise their roles. However, no new cast members have been announced yet.
The renewal of *Alien: Earth* comes alongside exciting news about series creator Noah Hawley. Hawley has signed a significant new deal with FX Networks, the studio behind *Alien: Earth*, and Disney Entertainment Television. This partnership reportedly involves a nine-figure sum, with Hawley set to develop more projects for ABC and Hulu in the US, as well as Disney+ internationally.
In a statement about the deal, Noah Hawley expressed his enthusiasm:
*”I’m thrilled that this expanded deal opens the door to new opportunities across all of Disney Entertainment Television. FX has always supported bold, character-driven storytelling. From the very beginning with Fargo, they’ve encouraged me to take creative risks and follow the story wherever it leads. I’m grateful to continue exploring the world of Alien: Earth alongside our partners, cast, and crew as we begin the next chapter.”*
### When Can We Expect Season 2?
As of now, no official release date has been announced for *Alien: Earth* season 2. Since filming won’t commence until 2026, it’s unlikely the new season will premiere before late 2027 at the earliest. This timeline assumes that production begins early in 2026, allowing sufficient time for filming and post-production.
Given the complexity of the show’s production and the extensive post-production work required, a 2028 release appears more realistic. Fans should prepare for a wait but can rest assured that the next chapter promises to deliver more of the thrilling sci-fi horror they enjoyed in the first season.
