Fargo Season 6 Delayed Due to Alien TV Series
The much-anticipated season 6 of Fargo is experiencing delays as creator Noah Hawley is focusing on his latest project, the Alien TV series for FX. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news on the next installment of the anthology series. This setback is due to the intense production schedule of Alien, expected to premiere in the first half of 2025.
Noah Hawley’s Balancing Act
Noah Hawley has had his hands full juggling multiple major projects for FX. Not only is he deeply involved in Fargo, but he’s also working on another high-profile show based on an iconic film – the upcoming Alien TV series. Speaking on Deadline’s podcast Crew Call with Anthony D’Alessandro, Hawley shared insights into managing both shows simultaneously.
According to Hawley, The scale of Alien dwarfs anything I’ve made before.
This feat of creativity requires immense focus and dedication, leaving little room for other commitments like Fargo.
Planning Ahead for Alien’s Success
The FX network is optimistic about the success of Alien. As referenced in John Landgraf’s recent statement, Noah is writing both right now
, emphasizing that scripts for Alien are already in an advanced stage. The network seems hopeful to push a second season soon after the first one’s release.
In discussing the possibility of back-to-back seasons, Hawley remarked, I think in success their hope is to put a season 2 as close to season 1 as possible.
A Pause in Fargo Season 6 Renewal
The renewal timeline for Fargo‘s sixth season remains uncertain. Although the series has consistently garnered critical acclaim, FX has not yet officially greenlit another season since the conclusion of season 5 earlier this year.
This could be attributed to Hawley’s current focus on Alien. Historically, FX has taken its time before renewing each new season of Fargo, sometimes lagging up to two years.
The Future for Noah Hawley and FX Projects
Noah Hawley’s relationship with FX seems solid despite these scheduling conflicts. Fans can remain hopeful that another season of Fargo will emerge once he concludes his work on Alien. The possibility remains open for future endeavors, including new movies or books by Hawley in his interim periods.
