The sci-fi horror series ‘Alien: Earth’ has officially been renewed for a second season by FX, according to a report by Variety. The upcoming season is set to begin production in London in 2026, marking a shift from the first season, which was filmed in Thailand.

Quoting from Variety, an ANI report said that the ‘Alien: Earth’ extends the iconic ‘Alien’ film franchise into the television world. The first season premiered on FX in August and received strong reviews from both critics and audiences.
