In a cinematic age where movies lead to interconnected sequels, interconnected spin-off shows, to interconnected Tumblr fan fiction, a large portion of moviegoers miss the days of standalone stories. While Matt Reeves always had plans to build off the success of The Batman with spin-offs, the director has assured audiences that each project works as its own standalone movie/show without the need to do cinematic homework.

Fresh off the success of Alien: Romulus, FX's upcoming series Alien: Earth takes viewers to cable TV in the long-running franchise that dates back to 1979. Fargo creator Noah Hawley helms the series for the network and their FX on Hulu lineup, and he's looking to recapture the horror aspect of the franchise. Many would argue that the first Alien was a horror film, but the sequels slowly shed that feeling and tone. Romulus is a return to the series' horror roots, and it sounds like Alien: Earth will be continuing that trend, according to Hawley in an interview with Deadline.
