Ridley Scott’s sci-fi series *Alien: Earth* is dominating global streaming charts as production begins on its second season. Its renewed popularity highlights the show’s continuing success, despite delays in Hulu confirming its return and Scott’s separate film *The Dog Stars* reportedly struggling at the box office.

The series, produced by Scott and created by Noah Hawley, stars Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant and was the *Alien* franchise’s first television project. Set in 2120, it follows hybrids created by the Prodigy Corporation after a Weyland-Yutani spaceship crashes, while Season 2 will feature *Game of Thrones* actors Peter Dinklage and Jerome Flynn; Season 1 holds a 94% critics’ score and 65% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
