Bollywood actor Adarsh Gourav will reprise his role in the second season of the sci-fi series Alien: Earth, with filming scheduled to begin next month, the production has confirmed. The new instalment will also feature Emmy-winning actor Peter Dinklage, a high-profile addition to the returning ensemble, and continues under creator Noah Hawley with Ridley Scott serving as executive producer.
Gourav returns as Slightly, a character that drew strong critical and audience reaction in Season 1 for its emotional depth. Season 1 established Alien: Earth as one of the notable global sci-fi titles of 2025, and the show’s creative team has expanded the cast for Season 2 to include Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay and Timothy Olyphant alongside Dinklage.
On his return, Gourav said, “Being a part of Alien: Earth has been an incredibly special experience for me. The response to Season 1, especially to my character, has been truly overwhelming and deeply encouraging.” He added that Slightly is “such a unique and emotionally complex character,” and that he is “really looking forward” to exploring the character’s arc further in Season 2.
Gourav also praised the creative leadership, calling it inspiring to work with “visionaries like Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott,” and noted that the ensemble cast “pushes you to constantly grow.” Production is expected to begin shortly, marking another international project for Gourav as he expands his presence in global entertainment.
