Prime Video Officially Revives Ridley Scott’s Dystopian Sci-Fi Universe Next Month

While both of Ridley Scott‘s landmark sci-fi franchises are currently in limbo on the big screen, they’ve expanded successfully on streaming. Noah Hawley is working on the second season of FX’s Alien: Earth, which received excellent reviews when it debuted in 2025. Scott served as an executive producer on the show, but such connections haven’t stopped him from criticizing both Alien: Romulus and Blade Runner 2049. He described Romulus, which was a critical and commercial hit, as just “okay,” and said that Blade Runner 2049, which many regard as superior to the original, is “too long.” Now, the Blade Runner franchise is all set to expand with a new streaming show due out this month.
