Noah Hawley on the Vision Behind Alien Earth

“In some ways, the show is an escape. It’s action, horror, and science fiction entertainment. It’s bigger than life and also a fairy tale about how children grow up. But there’s also an urgency to it because it feels like you’re looking at your own future and the future of this planet, and it’s troublesome. So I think you can both escape into it or leave it with things to think about.”  — Noah Hawley, Director

Timothy Olyphant on Scale and Substance

“This show is really smart and really entertaining. Usually, when you get something this vast, you don’t get something this grounded. The combination of those two things makes it a great show, and I’m very proud to be a part of it.” — Timothy Olyphant, Kirsh

“People who have never explored the world of Alien will really enjoy this piece because it will be fresh and new. For the people who already enjoy the Alien franchise, I hope they will feel the love, honor, and respect that Noah and this entire production have for the original film and the franchise as a whole, while also being able to experience something pretty unique. It’s a really cool show!” — Sydney Chandler, Wendy

David W. Zucker on a Story That Transcends Genre
