Shortly after acquiring 20th Century Fox in 2019, Disney announced plans to create a new installment intheAlienmovie franchise.

The announcement came in 2020, along with news thatFargo’s Noah Hawley will act as showrunner.

The teaser ends with the computer sounding an alarm about the unknown species before the Weyland-Yutani logo appears on-screen.

Now,the series is gunning for a summer 2025 release window, though specifics are still under wraps.

With so much still unknown about the show, it could be that creative tinkering is still happening behind-the-scenes.
