Scott Free Eyes Further Series Adaptations of Ridley Scott and Tony Scott Movies Following ‘Alien: Earth’ and ‘Blade Runner 2099’

Ridley Scott’s production company, Scott Free, is gearing up to turn more of the iconic films by Ridley and his late brother Tony Scott into TV series. This comes on the heels of two high-profile projects already in the works: FX’s Alien: Earth (premiering August 12) and Prime Video’s Blade Runner 2099 (slated for next year). The studio’s appetite for expanding their cinematic universe suggests fans could see even more beloved Scott brothers’ worlds reimagined for the small screen.
Editor’s Note: If you’re a fan of classics like Alien or Blade Runner, this is exciting news—it means more deep dives into the gritty, visually stunning worlds the Scotts built. But it also reflects Hollywood’s ongoing bet on nostalgia-driven content. The success (or failure) of these first two series could determine whether we get a flood of Scott-inspired shows or a more cautious approach. Either way, it’s a big move for streaming platforms banking on legacy IP to hook audiences.
