Faraday isn't returning to Earth, or Showtime, for that matter. The cable channel has opted not to continue The Man Who Fell to Earth, so there won't be a second season.

The Man Who Fell to Earth will not be back on Showtime for a second season, it has been announced.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series was initially conceived as a limited series, but that changed about halfway through production.

However, Showtime feels like the story came to a natural conclusion with its first season finale that aired earlier this year.

“Our thanks to the extraordinary Alex Kurtzman, Jenny Lumet, John Hlavin and Sarah Timberman who did a great job of turning the David Bowie film into such a resonant tale for our times,” a Showtime spokesperson said in a statement to THR.

“And kudos to a wondrous cast led by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Naomie Harris and Bill Nighy for bringing it to life."

"Alex and Jenny originally intended The Man Who Fell To Earth to be a close-ended story."

"While we flirted with the idea of expanding it into a second season,...

Spoiler Alert: This article contains details of tonight’s The Man Who Fell To Earth Season 1 finale. That’s all we got.

“Maybe they’re not a bundle of laughs, but they’re not bent on the destruction of all living things either,” Bill Nighy’s Thomas Newton says in tonight’s The Man Who Fell To Earth Season 1 finale of the Cambodian monks that have adopted him so to speak.

That devastation and potential salvation of both the Earth and Anthea, the home planet of Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Faraday propels the Olatunde Osunsanmi-directed “The Man Who Sold The World” entitled episode of the Showtime series, to varying outcomes.

Bringing figuratively everything full circle tonight the Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman created sequel to the David Bowie starring 1976 film from Nicolas Roeg, is also built on a foundation of love. Love across their class definitions between Faraday and Newton,...

Ground control to Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet: the stars are aligned, but look very different today. The Man Who Fell to Earth is a standalone sequel series, using Nicholas Roeg’s 1976 film as an alternative energy source. With Walter Tevis’ 1963 science fiction novel The Man Who Fell to Earth as a launching pad, the film starred David Bowie as Thomas Jerome Newton, an overstay from a galaxy not that far away. Showtime’s new series stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as K. Faraday. He is an immigrant from that same planet, Anthea.

The fusion between the two projects is clear from the opening mission statement. Newton came to “the planet of water,” because his home planet is burning dry. Earth has the resources he needs to save it, but terrestrial forces get in the way. The new series takes place half a century after Newton built a corporate conglomerate with...

“I was taken by all of the themes that Alex and Jenny had put into this story,” says Chiwetel Ejiofor of Showtime’s The Man Who Fell To Earth series from Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman. “Themes that really are relevant today. I’m mean are right up to the minute really, in how we engage with each other in our human connections, but also our connection with our planet..”

Joining us on the Hero Nation podcast, the Oscar nominee added that for him “to have that through the eyes of a stranger was so interesting to me.”

Debuting tonight on the premium cabler, the 10-episode Tmwfte is in many ways a sequel to the cult classic 1976 film from Nicolas Roeg that starred David Bowie.

Showtime has released the official trailer for "The Man Who Fell to Earth," and it looks like it's going to be riveting. Not that I wouldn't say that for most things that Chiwetel Ejiofor is in.

Showtime offers the next step to the universe of The Man Who Fell To Earth with its upcoming series of the same name starring Chiwetel Ejofor and Naomie Harris. While not a remake Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 film starring David Bowie series, executive producer, writer and director Alex Kurtzman said the series seeks to pay tribute to previous forms of the sci-fi story.

“I think it’s amazing and it’s beautiful that Walter Teviis is having is moment right now. I wish he had more of it when he was alive so he could appreciate how much people appreciate his work,” Kurtman said of the novelist, who also penned The Queen’s Gambit. I think we felt a tremendous debt to honor the legacy of David Bowie, of Walter Tevis and Nicolas Roeg – of all the people who built these extraordinary stories because they clearly wrenched their hearts open to tell them.

Showtime has set a springtime arrival for The Man Who Fell to Earth, its series inspired by both the 1963 Walter Tevis novel and the iconic 1976 David Bowie film.

Debuting Sunday, April 24 at 10/9c (with its first two episodes airing back-to-back), The Man Who Fell to Earth respectively stars Academy Award nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) and Naomie Harris (Moonlight) as the titular alien, named Faraday, and Justin Falls, a brilliant scientist and engineer.

Jimmi Simpson, Rob Delaney, Sonya Cassidy, Joana Ribeiro, Annelle Olaleye, Kate Mulgrew, Clarke Peters, and Bill Nighy also co-star.

Ejiofor, who additionally serves as executive producer, previously told IndieWire that he seeks to represent a wide array of storytelling onscreen.

On Tuesday, Showtime released the official trailer for its upcoming sci-fi series “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” in which an alien named Faraday (Chiwetel Ejiofor) finds human allies and enemies.

After crash landing in the desert, Faraday is lucky to meet Justin Falls (Naomie Harris), a struggling single mother who also happens to be a brilliant scientist and engineer. He’s fled his dying planet and he needs her help to save Earth from the same fate. After she stops freaking out about him being an alien, that is.

We also meet a nattily hatted Billy Nighy as Thomas Jerome Newton, an alien who’s been on Earth for decades. Nighy takes over the role immortalized by David Bowie in Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 cult film “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” which was also based on Walter Tevis’ 1963 novel.

The 10-episode series will premiere with two back-to-back episodes on Sunday,...
