Noah Hawley speaks on the design of the new Xenomorph and promises to make the creature in the series as scary as it could be without fully changing the orginal design.
"What was really fun for me was to really engage with the creature, bring some of my own thoughts to the design while not touching the silhouette, because that’s sacrosanct. But some of the elements as we know, whatever the host is inform what the final creature is. I just wanted to play around a little bit to make it as scary as it should be."Hawley
