Xenomorphs Rumored to Return in an Alien TV Show

The Alien franchise is in a weird place right now. With Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 dead in the water after making way for Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, it seems doubtful that the series will return to the big screen any time soon. However, if recent rumors are to be believed, fans may get to see the Xenomorphs again much sooner, this time on the small screen instead.

According to Omega Underground, who have at least two independent and reliable sources, an Alien TV show is at least being heavily considered by Fox.

As always, this is just a rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt. Depending on how well the upcoming film The Predator does, it's entirely possible that Fox could green light another Alien film or perhaps an Alien vs Predator reboot.

Only time will tell as we get closer and closer to next year's Alien Day on April 26th. In the meantime, we will keep you up to date on all things horror right here on Dead Entertainment.
