Curious to know why there’s no new episode of Alien: Earth on September 30? The sci-fi horror series centers around Wendy and a ragtag team of soldiers. They are tasked with investigating a space vessel that crash-landed on Earth. Upon digging deeper into its mystery, they discover Earth’s biggest threat. Since a new episode didn’t come out this week, many wonder if the series is over.
Why Alien: Earth didn’t air a new episode this week
Alien: Earth had only 8 episodes, all of which have already been premiered. The season finale aired on September 23, 2025. Therefore, there’s no new episode this week.
At the time of writing, Alien: Earth Season 2 hasn’t been announced. However, there are chances that another outing might happen based on recent speculations, the showrunner’s comments, and the way the show concluded, potentially setting up a story to proceed with.
In a previous conversation, showrunner Noah Hawley was asked if he had plans to continue the stories into another season. He replied, “I do. I do. I mean, I think that I have a destination in mind story-wise, which allows me to know what the story is I’m telling, what it means.” He revealed that what they’re trying to do is streamline the process so that the audience doesn’t have to wait for another season for many years.
In another interview with Polygon, Hawley addressed the finale and also expressed his confidence for Season 2. He said, “A big part of what I try to do as a visual storyteller is always to engage the audience’s imagination. Too much of what we watch treats us as passive viewers. So if the worst thing that happens is that the audience has to finish this story, I trust them to come up with some good ways to go forward.” Revealing the fate of the show, he added, “I’m pretty confident, given the show’s success, that we’ll get to make more.”
Now, it remains to be seen when a Season 2 announcement will happen. Until then, fans can enjoy Season 1, available to watch on FX and FX on Hulu.
