Director Ridley Scott has confirmed that two of his most beloved works, Alien and Blade Runner, would be getting live-action television shows - both are in the works and each already has a written pilot episode.

In an interview on the BBC's Today Show radio programme, Scott suggested that the television shows would be ten episodes each. He said that they had "written the pilot for Blade Runner and the bible. So, we’re already presenting Blade Runner as a TV show, the first 10 hours." He also said that the Alien TV show would be getting a similar treatment.

Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley is at the helm of the Alien show. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Hawley said he's looking to get the production on his script started in the Spring. "The entire film industry had to take a year off and they are now trying to jam two years of production into one year," he said. "So it’s very hard to look on the planet earth and see where you might make something in the next six months. Everyone is racing to make up for lost time. So, I figure let that bubble burst a little bit and we’ll do it right."

The Alien series is, at its heart, about inequality and the way corporations value money over people. Hawley isn't going to be shying away from this political message. His series will be set on Earth, and we "will see what happens when the inequality we’re struggling with now isn’t resolved," he said. "If we as a society can’t figure out how to prop each other up and spread the wealth, then what’s going to happen to us?"

We don't know much about the Blade Runner show currently in the works, other than what Scott said in the BBC interview. An anime series, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, premiered earlier this month on Adult Swim, and it doesn't look very Blade Runner. With Hawley on board for Alien, hopefully the new cyberpunk show can land someone as talented to work it into shape.
