Peter Dinklage has officially joined FX’s Alien: Earth Season 2 as a series regular, adding major star power to the expanding sci-fi franchise. His character details remain tightly under wraps.

Production for the new season is set to begin in May at London’s Pinewood Studios, a historic filming location tied closely to the Alien universe.

The studio previously hosted production for the original Alien as well as later entries including Alien 3 and Prometheus.

Season 1 of Alien: Earth was filmed in Thailand and introduced a new Earth-based storyline inspired by Ridley Scott’s original sci-fi horror vision.

The series is executive produced by Ridley Scott and showrun by Noah Hawley, known for Fargo.

The plot follows a mysterious spacecraft crash on Earth that triggers a high-risk discovery threatening global safety.

Dinklage, a multiple Emmy winner for Game of Thrones, brings significant prestige to the cast as FX expands the franchise into long-form television storytelling.

The Alien universe began with Scott’s original Alien and has since evolved through sequels, reboots, and now serialized television.
