Weta Effects Team Reportedly Working on FX’s “Alien” Television Series

For those hungry for any and all details about FX’s upcoming “Alien” television series, a first for the franchise, our friends over at AvP Galaxy are reporting this week that the team over at Weta will be handling the Xenomorph creation for the series, responsible for “designing and bringing the Xenomorphs to life in Noah Hawley’s upcoming FX series.”

The website goes on to note that they’re unsure how much of the Xenomorph work on the show will be practical and home much will be digital, though of course Weta is more than capable of handling both sides of the effects game between Weta Digital and Weta Workshop.

Some recent effects work from the New Zealand-based Weta team includes the genre films Krampus, The Tomorrow War, Godzilla vs. Kong, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Alita: Battle Angel.

What we know so far, which isn’t very much at all, is that the series will be set on Earth. FX had teased, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

Last we heard, Ridley Scott is expected to be on board as producer.

Expect to wait until 2023 for the return of the Alien franchise.

The slasher-themed relaunch of “Pretty Little Liars” continues this coming May with “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School,” and you can slash into the official trailer down below.

“Summer School” begins on Max on May 9, 2024.

The Max Original series from Warner Bros. Television debuts with two episodes on Thursday, May 9, we’ve learned, followed by one new episode weekly through June 20 on Max.

Following the harrowing events of “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” our Pretty Little Liars face a fate worse than death – summer school. However, Millwood High isn’t the only thing getting in the way of their fun summer jobs and new, dreamy love interests.

A new villain, who may or may not have a connection to A, has come to town and is going to put them all to the test.

Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco return as the next generation of Pretty Little Liars.

The series also stars Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Alex Aiono, Jordan Gonzalez, and Elias Kacavas.

The series is created, written, and executive produced by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) and Lindsay Calhoon Bring (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”). Aguirre-Sacasa’s Muckle Man Productions and Alloy Entertainment produce, in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Alloy’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo are also executive producers, along with Marlene King (who developed the original “Pretty Little Liars” series), and Michael Grassi.
