The king of sci-fi, Ridley Scott , is finally returning to the genre later this year with the premiere of The Dog Stars , the new post-apocalyptic epic starring Josh Brolin and Jacob Elordi .

While Scott hasn’t directed any sci-fi movies or TV shows since Alien: Covenant in 2018, he has been involved as a producer in sci-fi projects like Alien: Earth , the highly bingeable sci-fi series returning for Season 2 next year. Scott is the creator of the Alien franchise, and he is still consulted on the latest projects, now almost 50 years removed from the premiere of Alien .
