Series creator Noah Hawley previously told Deadline about the series Alien, “Regarding his approach to designing the sharp-tooth creatures, what was really fun for me was to really engage with the creature, bring some of my own thoughts to the design while not touching the silhouette, because that’s sacrosanct. But some of the elements as we know, whatever the host is, informs what the final creature is. I just wanted to play around a little bit to make it as scary as it should be.”
The teaser warns that Mother Earth is expecting next year. Get ready.
