Adarsh Gourav is preparing to return to the international sci-fi franchise Alien: Earth as filming for Season 2 is set to commence in June. The BAFTA-nominated actor expressed that working alongside names like Peter Dinklage, Timothy Olyphant, and the entire ensemble pushes him creatively every single day.
The actor will soon depart for an international schedule in the first week of June. Adarsh will reprise his role as Slightly.
Adarsh said: "Coming back for Season 2 of Alien: Earth feels incredibly special. Slightly is a character who has stayed with me long after filming ended because of how emotionally complex and unpredictable he is."
The series is created by Noah Hawley and executive-produced by legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott.
He added: "Getting the opportunity to explore him further in a world created by Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott is both exciting and deeply fulfilling as an actor. I'll be leaving for the international schedule in the first week of June, and we begin filming shortly after."
"There's a huge sense of anticipation around this season. The storytelling becomes even more ambitious."
Adarsh revealed what makes this experience truly remarkable is "being part of such an iconic universe alongside an extraordinary cast." He added: "Working with actors like Peter Dinklage, Timothy Olyphant, and the entire ensemble pushes you creatively every single day."
Season 2 will see Adarsh share screen space with an acclaimed international ensemble including Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Timothy Olyphant, and Peter Dinklage.
