The show, based on the Ridley Scott film, creates its own creepy-cool world and juggles ideas that go beyond merely trying to gross out its audience.

Having already overseen the creation of the critically acclaimed Fargo series as well as the upcoming Alien: Earth TV series, Noah Hawley is reportedly working to adapt Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise for the small screen now.

Alien: Earth takes place in 2120, two years before the events of the original Ridley Scott's masterpiece, Alien. This sets the show's events as occurring right before the crew of the Nostromo were intended to head back to Earth,
