Alien: Earth showrunner Noah Hawley has no plans of bringing the Predator into the show anytime soon. While the Xenomorph and the Yautja are on a trajectory to cross paths in the near future, that rematch won't occur on the Television front.

Speaking to the SmartLess podcast, Hawley addressed the possibility, saying that while he liked what Dan Trachtenberg has done with Prey and Badlands, he has no plans of bridging the two franchises on his medium:

“No, not onto the show, I don’t think. I think Dan Trachtenberg, who made Prey and has made the Badlands movie — you know, I loved Prey. I think he’s doing a great job with that franchise. He clearly has a plan there. I’ve met Dan once, we’re not kind of coordinating any of that stuff. So, it’s not really my plan to do it.

Alien: Earth has officially been renewed for a season 2 and filming will commence for the next chapter next year. While Predator: Badlands was a subtle crossover between the Alien and Predator franchises, Alien: Earth will remain undiluted and focused purely on the Alien.
