FX'sAlienshowrunner says it's 'not a Ripley story,' will be about 'inequality'

Hawley confirms in a recent interview withVanity Fairthat means “it’s not a Ripley story.”

His show is, “on some level,” “about inequality,” he says.

“They’re like Samuel Beckett characters, ordered to go to a place by a faceless nameless corporation.

So, it is the story of the people you send to do the dirty work.”

So, you will see what happens when the inequality we’re struggling with now isn’t resolved.

At least they don’t f— each other over for a percentage.'"

What’s the show about?

What are the themes, who are the characters, and what is the human drama?

Then we drop the aliens back in and we go, ‘This is great.

Not only is there great human drama, but there’s aliens!'"
