Peter Dinklage Joins ‘Alien: Earth’ Season 2

Peter Dinklage has joined the cast of FX’s “Alien: Earth” Season 2, Variety has confirmed.

While his character details are still kept under wraps, the “Game of Thrones” Emmy winner will be a series regular on the sci-fi series from “Fargo” creator Noah Hawley.

Inspired by Ridley Scott’s 1979 blockbuster — and taking place two years before the events of the original film — “Alien: Earth” is the first TV installment in the “Alien” franchise. It stars Sydney Chandler as humanoid robot Wendy, and the cast also includes Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav and Timothy Olyphant.

Production on the second season will begin in May at London’s Pinewood Studios, which is where the original film, “Alien 3” and “Prometheus” filmed. The first season of “Alien: Earth” was shot in Thailand.
