While we wait for Fede Alvarez’s new movie Alien: Romulus to arrive in theaters next month, we’ve learned this week that filming has wrapped on the “Alien” TV series from FX.
The series had been filming in Thailand throughout the first half of the year, with production originally beginning last summer before being shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Series star Sydney Chandler announced the end of production on Instagram this week. You can find her post below. Read on for everything you need to know about FX’s “Alien.”
UPDATE: The show’s official title at this time is “Alien: Earth.”
The Alien franchise’s first ever television series comes from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”), and it’s likely to arrive sometime next year. Of particular note, it’s set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place here on Earth, set roughly 70 years in the future.
FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”
The series is set 30 years before the events of the original Alien – Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, meanwhile, takes place 20 years *after* the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien – dealing with “the emergence of the story’s infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race between corporations to create new android life.”
Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”
Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Erana James (“Uproar”), Lily Newmark (“Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black”), Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace”), Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Foundation”), and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral) also star in the upcoming sci-fi/horror series.

Whet your appetite with the opening 4-minutes of “In the Flesh” Season 2 below.
“In the Flesh” follows zombie teenager Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry) and his reintegration back into both the local community and the heart of his family.
After his suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see Kieren again. But shortly after his funeral, thousands rose from the dead; and after months of rehabilitation and medication, the zombies — now known as PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers — are gradually being returned to their homes.
When Kieran arrives, he is forced to confront his family, the community that rejected him and haunting flashbacks of what he did in his untreated state.

Luke Newberry (Frankenstein’s Army), Wunmi Mosaku (Loki), Harriet Cains (Bridgerton), and Emmett J. Scanlan (Peaky Blinders) star in the award-winning zombie series.
