The new Alien species introduced in Alien: Earth aren't just filler, they will play a larger role in the franchise as a whole. During an interview with Deadline, series creator Noah Hawley addressed questions about the show’s new organisms like the T. Ocellus, Ticks, Fly and others. When asked if the new organisms will remain a prominent fixture in the future of this series and the Alien franchise as a whole, Hawley confirms there is still much to be explored and learned from these new creatures, so we can expect them to play a larger role in future seasons of Alien: Earth and potentially more projects beyond that!

DEADLINE Do You have a nickname for the crawling eyeball?

NOAH HAWLEY I’ve been calling it the eye midge for some reason.

DEADLINE He’s definitely a different species from the aliens, right? Will the midge remain a prominent fixture in the series?

NOAH HAWLEY Yeah. All these creatures are here to stay. The reason there are new creatures is because you can’t [give viewers today] the newness of the Xenomorph … you know, the egg, the face hugger, it being the worst thing you’ve ever seen. Now it falls off. Okay we’re good. Now, something bursts out of your chest and then it’s 10 feet tall. So the only way to create that awful burgeoning discovery is with these new creatures. There’s still so much to learn about all of them.

You can read the entire interview over on Deadline!

Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth TV series arrives this summer on Disney+ / Hulu and FX Networks! The first 2 episodes began streaming August 12th, 2025 and the show will span 8 hour-long episodes! You can find a list of the episodes titles and their release dates here.
