Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Noah Hawley's Alien TV show is already set to be a fascinating addition to the franchise, but one aspect of its story can help address one of the longest-running mysteries in the series' history.

The various Alien movies have already offered competing explanations for this mystery. One solution could be that, after the events of Alien vs. Predator, the company set out to investigate all unusual extraterrestrial signals, with the knowledge that one could connect to the alien. Another is that Covenant and Prometheus' stories hold the key. However, the debate over the canonicity of both storylines means that the real answer remains unclear.

Related Alien Movies In Order From Ridley Scott's Alien to the sci-fi franchise's prequel series beginning with Prometheus, here's how to watch the Alien movies in order. Alien's TV Show May Ultimately Contradict Prometheus & Covenant Given that Ridley Scott's plans for a third and final Alien prequel movie are unlikely to come to fruition, Prometheus and Covenant remain the only indicators of the director's intended vision for the creature's origin story.

“For me, and for a lot of people, this ‘perfect life form’ — as it was described in the first film — is the product of millions of years of evolution that created this creature that may have existed for a million years out there in space. The idea that, on some level, it was a bioweapon created half an hour ago, that’s just inherently less useful to me.
