FX has announced a host of additions to the cast of its series Alien: Earth.
Eleven actors, including three who have worked with showrunner Noah Hawley on Fargo, have joined the series in guest roles. The new additions are Richa Moorjani (Fargo, Never Have I Ever), Karen Aldridge (Severance, Fargo), Enzo Cilenti (The Serpent Queen, Game of Thrones), Max Rinehart (Unforgotten), Amir Boutrous (The Crown), Victoria Masoma, Tom Moya, Andy Yu (Fargo), Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters), Jamie Bisping (The Rings of Power) and Tanapol Chuksrida.
They join a cast led by Sydney Chandler, who plays a young woman that, along with a ragtag band of soldiers, make a fateful discovery.

Alien: Earth wrapped filming last year and is in the midst of post-production for a summer premiere. Hawley told The Hollywood Reporter in July 2024 that he “couldn’t be happier with the show we shot. If people wanted a television series based on the world of Alien, I think I’m gonna give them something special.”
FX released a brief teaser for the series (which will stream on Hulu) in November, with the tagline “In 2120, Mother Earth is expecting.” The series is set 95 years from now, when, per its logline, “five corporations — Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold — wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow.”
Moorjani is repped by UTA, Anonymous Content, ID and Goodman Genow; Aldridge, by Gray Talent Group; Cilenti, by 42 M&P Ltd; Rinehart, by Independent Talent Group; Boutrous, by Paul Becker Talent; Moya, by Tom Barrett Artists; Yu, by Play Management Inc.; and Bisping, by Curtis Brown Group.
