Noah Hawley has announced the title for his FX Alien prequel series and, in so doing, has revealed that another franchise retcon is imminent. Alien: Earth had already been placed within the Alien timeline, set around 30 years before the original film. Now the location of the show is confirmed, concerns about its execution have risen. Hawley’s decision to set the show on Earth creates contradictions with Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and Alien: Covenant that will have to be resolved with yet another big franchise lore retcon.
