Alien Series’ Noah Hawley Reveals if the Prequels Will Play a Role in the Show

Fargo’s Noah Hawley, the director behind FX and Hulu’s upcoming Alien series, has revealed whether Ridley Scott’s prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, and the changes to canon and the creation of the Xenomorph, will play a part in the show. The short answer is “No,” with Hawley revealing to KCRW’s The Business podcast that the series will instead hark back to original movie’s mythology and the fear surrounding “retro-futuristic technology.”
