The team behind the upcoming Alien TV series being developed by Noah Hawley for FX and Hulu has hired Production Designer Andy Nicholson to lend their skills to the series' production! Andy Nicholson has a fairly impressive resume of recent projects he's provided his skills to including Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Assassin’s Creed and Gravity to name a few.
As reported by news outlet The Ronin:
The Ronin can exclusively reveal a nifty department head hiring for the upcoming Alien series on FX that hails from showrunner Noah Hawley with Ridley Scott‘s involvement via his production company Scott Free. We’ve been able to confirm that production Designer Andy Nicholson has been tasked for the Earthbound prequel series.
The Alien TV series is currently in pre-production with cameras set to start rolling later this year! The series will take place on Earth in the "not-too-distant" future and will address concepts relating to Transhumanism and the blending of organic consciousness into Synthetic / Robot bodies - with Aliens, of course.

The future of Alien
The Alien franchise is taking a dramatic turn at 20th Century Studios, now owned by Disney. Currently there are two major Alien projects in development - a new Alien TV series by Noah Hawley and a new, stand-alone Alien movie being directed by Fede Alvarez. Both of which will be taking the franchise in a new direction - moving away from the Alien prequel direction Ridley Scott set out to pursue back in 2012.
