Noah Hawley’s Alien series casts breakout star as its lead
Sydne🦹y Chandler is about to get up close and personal with X🦹enomorphs

Noah Hawley&rs𝄹quo;s Alien series has made its first big cast 🌠move – adding Sydney Chandler.
As per , Chandler will lead the FX show, which will enter production once Hawley has finished up on the fifth season of Fargo. Chandler is perhaps best known for her work on Danny Boyle’s Sex Pistols miniseries Pistol. Her star has been on the rise in recent years, as she also appeared in last year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Don’t Worry Darling. Sh🐬e’s next set to appear in the Colin💯 Farrell-led sci-fi series Sugar for Apple.
As revealed earlier this year, Hawley’s FX series will be set dec♑ades before the events of the original A⭕lien.
"It’s the first story that takes place in the Alien franchise on Earth. It takes place on our planet. Right near the end of this century we’re in – so 70-odd years from now," John Landgraf 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:said in January during the Television Critics Association pres♓s tour.
One person who ꦫwon’t be battling Xenomorphs anytime soon, howe🍒ver, is Sigourney Weaver.
The Ripley actor, who starred in four Alien movies, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:told Total Film magazine that s🎐he has no intention of returning to the iconic role.
"There are all kinds of younger actors taking this kind of role. And there was an Alien [film] that I really wanted to do with Neill Blo💛mkamp and we didn’t get to do that, but, you know, that ship has sailed," Weaver said. "I’m very happy doing what I’m doing. I put in my time in space!"
