[Rumor] Two ‘Alien’ Franchise TV Shows in the Works, One from Ridley Scott and Hulu?

We’ve been hearing rumblings about a potential TV series set within the world of Alien for a while now, and HN Entertainment brings a big ole scoop to the table on all that tonight.

According to the site (and their sources), “There isn’t just one live-action Alien series in the works, but two of them.”

The site goes on to say that one of those series’ has Ridley Scott attached to executive produce for Hulu, which is needless to say pretty huge if indeed true.

They note, “Details are scarce at the moment but there might be multiple seasons that could tackle different corners/eras of the franchise, not unlike Noah Hawley’s series Fargo.”

Fox is no doubt eager to expand upon the Alien franchise (and Disney apparently has no issue with continuing Fox’s rated “R” material once they officially acquire the company’s assets), and a television series (or two, as the site suggests) sounds like a pretty natural evolution for a franchise that’s still huge but not exactly a guaranteed box office powerhouse.

Meanwhile, James Cameron *may* be trying to get something going on the film front…
