AceShowbiz - Sydney Chandler is eagerly anticipating her return for Alien: Earth season 2, while also promoting her new film Anima at SXSW. However, she remains uncertain about the direction her character Wendy and the Lost Boys will take in the upcoming season.
The first season of the sci-fi horror series followed Wendy and the Lost Boys as they investigated the crash of the research vessel USCSS Maginot. The story culminated with Wendy and her companions seizing control of Neverland.
During the SXSW premiere of Anima, Sydney Chandler was asked about the production and storyline of Alien: Earth season 2. She admitted that she "still doesn't know much" about the upcoming season’s plot. She described creator Noah Hawley as "fantastic at sharing riddles" that she tries to piece together.
Despite not having details, Sydney Chandler expressed strong enthusiasm for returning to film the next season, especially since filming will take place at Pinewood Studios in London. She shared her excitement about working with creator Noah Hawley again, trusting him to deliver another thrilling journey.
When asked about what she hopes to see for Wendy and the Lost Boys, Sydney Chandler revealed her desire for deeper connections between these characters, as Wendy was mostly isolated in season 1.
Sydney Chandler is interested in exploring Wendy’s evolution, pondering whether Wendy will embrace her humanity more or fully "go machine." She wants to see Wendy challenged to reveal how she reacts under pressure.
She elaborated on her hopes to explore Wendy’s fears and limitations, a side of the character not yet deeply explored in season 1. Sydney Chandler is eager to see Wendy experience fear and respond to threats.
The season 1 finale left Wendy and the Lost Boys in a commanding position, having captured Samuel Blenkin’s Boy Kavalier and several adult enemies. Wendy also maintained control over two Xenomorphs, declaring their intention to "rule" Neverland.
Production on Alien: Earth season 2 appears to be underway, as executive producer Dana Gonzales shared a photo from Pinewood Studios.
