When will Alien: Earth Season 2 release?

There’s no official release date yet, but with filming expected to begin in 2026, late 2026 or early 2027 is a solid bet. The series will continue streaming on FX and Hulu in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally.

Production moves to London

Interestingly, Alien: Earth will shift production from Thailand to London, which may give the series a grittier, more industrial tone. It’s a big move that could bring an entirely new visual feel to the show’s dystopian universe.

“Alien: Earth” has been renewed for Season 2 at FX.

Series creator Noah Hawley has also signed a new overall deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television. https://t.co/IZsDuQMpW9 pic.twitter.com/Rmju27H75q
