Six New Actors Have Joined FX's "ALIEN" Television Series

The cast of the upcoming FX “ALIEN” series just got bigger as six new actors have been named to be joining the ranks for the new sc-fi horror romp. Variety is reporting the news this morning and boy howdy is it some good news.

Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla,” “Damilola”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984,” “Noughts and Crosses”), Erana James (“Uproar,” “The Wilds”), Lily Newmark (“Pin Cushion,” “Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black,” “Alex Rider 3”), and Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace,” “A Spy Among Friends”) have all been cast in the series.

Sydney Chandler stars in FX’s “Alien” as Wendy, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”

The previously announced cast also includes Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), and Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger).

FX’s “Alien” series is expected sometime in 2025.

Creator Noah Hawley‘s take on the Alien franchise has been described as both an “extension and reinvention” of the films that have come before it, with Ellen Ripley not involved.

FX originally noted, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

Ridley Scott is still attached as an executive producer as of this writing.
