In the middle of last year the first details about the new series of Alien in charge of FXNetworks. At the time, it was said that the project would take inspiration from the original work of ridley scott, but there was no mention of whether we would see the return of some classic characters. Well, that will not be the case since the timing of this series has been confirmed and it is a prequel.
John Landgraf, President of FXNetworks, again spoke about the project, thus confirming that this series will be the first story of the franchise to be developed on the planet Land at the beginning of the XXII century. According to the timeline of the series, back then Ellen Ripley It would be just being born, so don’t expect to see her or any other classic character in the series.
“There are many big surprises waiting for the audience. Alien takes place before Ripley. It is the first Alien story on planet Earth. It takes place at the end of our century, so approximately 70 years in the future.
Ripley will not be a part of it nor will any of the other Alien characters beyond the creature.”
While this news will certainly be disappointing to many, others will see it as an opportunity for the franchise to explore little-known territory and move away from the traditional franchise formula.
the series of Alien It will arrive at some point in 2023.
Publisher’s note: Personally, I like that the project is seeking to have its own identity without the need to bring back familiar characters. Alien is a franchise with a lot of lore and it would be a waste not to want to explore it in its entirety.
