Will the Xenomorph appear at all in the series Alien: Earth? Noah Hawley responds
Next year, the series Alien: Earth will debut, with its storyline set on Earth before the events of the original Alien. Does this mean that Xenomorphs won’t appear in the series? Not necessarily. Creator Noah Hawley answers this question.
Noah Hawley teases his version of the Xenomorph
Noah Hawley was asked about the upcoming series Alien: Earth on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards. Here’s what he revealed about his project:
“There’s something chilling when you see a Xenomorph in an earthly setting with your own eyes. Just the thought that it could be moving among us… I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see it, but you will see it — and you’ll lock your doors at night,” said Hawley.
“I had a great time working with the monster and bringing my own ideas to its design without altering the silhouette because that’s sacred,” the creator added. “As we know, certain elements — like who the host is — affect the final form of the creature, so I wanted to play with that and make it as terrifying as possible.”
