In your front-room, everyone can hear you scream! The iconic sci-fi horror series Alien has arrived on the small screen.
Disney Plus and FX have been releasing the debut season of Alien: Earth throughout the summer. The finale is due to be broadcast very soon - but will that be the end of the show?
The eight-part series is a prequel to the original 1979 film. It brings the terror of the Xenomorphs to our own world.
When is Alien: Earth’s season finale?
The show has been released weekly on Disney Plus in the UK and Europe, while also being broadcast on FX in America. Fans have been treated to one frightening instalment after another.
Alien: Earth’s first season finale (episode 8) is due to be released on Tuesday (September 23) in the US and Wednesday (September 24) for British viewers. Find out the exact time here.
Will there be an Alien: Earth season 2?
Disney and FX have not officially commented on the future of the sci-fi horror series, but there have been some optimistic updates on that front. Creator Noah Hawley, who also turned Fargo into a TV series, has spoken about wanting to due further seasons.
He told Variety: “Season 1 is the proof of concept. And if it works commercially, then season 2 is about building a model upon which we can envision making a season 3, 4, 5.”
CBR.com reports that Hawley has also talked about “streamlining” the process of the show, so the wait between seasons would not be so long. Which has become a real problem in the modern age of television!
Hollywood Reporter shared the streaming ratings for the week that Alien: Earth came out and the first two episodes clocked up 464 million minutes watched. Only two episodes were available at that time as well.
