The Alien and Predator franchises are thriving under Disney, and with the recent renewal of Alien: Earth, audiences have been wondering if there could be a potential crossover in the upcoming season.

Alien: Earth season 2 is still shrouded in mystery, as the series was only renewed just under a month ago. So, when creator Noah Hawley appeared on the SmartLess podcast, the hosts couldn’t resist asking whether a Predator crossover might be in the show’s future. And, his response wasn't a very encouraging one.

Hawley revealed that while he loved Prey and Predator: Badlands, he had no plans to combine the two major franchises. At this point in time, the only predators that will be featured in Alien: Earth are the iconic Xenomorphs.

No, not onto the show, I don't think. I think Dan Trachtenberg, who made 'Prey' and has made the 'Badlands' movie — you know, I loved 'Prey.' I think he's doing a great job with that franchise. He clearly has a plan there. I've met Dan once, we're not kind of coordinating any of that stuff. So, it's not really my plan to do it.

Hawley completely shuts down any rumors or hopes that fans may have about seeing the two epic creatures go head to head in Alien: Earth season 2. By emphasizing Trachtenberg’s stewardship of the Predator franchise and praising his work on Prey and Badlands, he is drawing a clear line between the two franchises. However, the creator's response doesn't mean that a crossover would never happen. Hawley simply said that it wouldn't occur on his show.

There are so many more opportunities for the Xenomorphs and Yautja to cross paths. Predator: Badlands already made it very clear that the two universes are connected. The new film featured synths from Weyland-Yutani, the main corporate antagonists in the Alien franchise. This could be Disney's way of setting up a future project that will star both extraterrestrial beings.

A sequel to the hit science fiction film, Alien: Romulus, is also on the way. While it remains uncertain whether that movie will intersect with the Predator franchise, a potential crossover could still be possible.

Alien: Earth is the first TV series in the history of the franchise. The show takes place in 2120, where a research vessel crash-lands on Earth, unleashing Xenomorphs and other threats onto the planet. The series follows a team of young synthetic hybrids dubbed the Lost Boys by their creator, Boy Kavalier, owner of Prodigy Corp. It's a prequel to the 1979 film Alien. The events of the series are set two years before the very first movie.

Alien: Earth season 1 is now available to stream on Hulu. There is currently no release date for Alien: Earth season 2 at the time of this article's publication.
