Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage has boarded the cast of Alien: Earth<\/u><\/a> Season 2 in a mystery role.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/u><\/a> reports that, although details about his character\u2019s presence on the show remain under wraps, the actor will appear as a series regular. It\u2019s the first major addition for Season 2 following the conclusion of Season 1 late last year, though a release date for the next batch of episodes has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

Dinklage is probably best known for his time as the silver-tongued Tyrion Lannister, but has credits in movies and shows dating back to the \u201890s. He\u2019s since shown up for films like Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Avengers: Infinity War, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Most recently, viewers would have seen him as the serial killer-obsessed antagonist of Dexter: Resurrection and a Toys\u201cR\u201dUs manager in Roofman.<\/p>\n

Alien: Earth Season 2 is set to begin production this May at Pinewood Studios, the same London location where Alien, Alien 3, and Prometheus were shot. Season 1 of the Noah Hawley-created sci-fi spinoff was shot in Thailand.<\/p>\n

The show, which tells a prequel story<\/u><\/a> that brings the fearsome Xenomorph to Earth in the year 2120, was renewed for a second season<\/u><\/a> on FX, Hulu, and Disney+ in November 2025. Although information about how its plot will continue largely remains a mystery for now, Hawley has at least confirmed that fans shouldn\u2019t expect to see the show tackle a proper Alien vs. Predator story<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While we wait for a release date for Alien: Earth Season 2, you can catch up with our Season 1 finale breakdown here<\/u><\/a>. You can also see why we thought the first run of episodes deserved a 9\/10 review<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
