Noah Hawley, the creator of FX's upcoming Alien TV series, has revealed that the show will ignore the story and aesthetics of the later Alien installments, including Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Hawley explained that he prefers the retro-futurism of the original Alien films and finds the backstory provided in Prometheus and Covenant to be 'inherently less useful' for his prequel series. The series is set to stick to the original lore of the 1979 film and will not share a canon with Ridley Scott's prequels, effectively erasing Prometheus and Alien: Covenant from the franchise. Hawley also mentioned that the show is planned to have multiple seasons and filming is set to resume soon following a pause.
