I'd like to note what they sai means the series involved body modifications. In the Alien franchise, those often are "humans-infuse-themselves-with-Xenomorph-genomes" (that's in fact the plot of Alien 3).

For me, its not that I think there won't be xenomorphs in the series (and I do agree with what you said earlier about their effectiveness in not being shown all the time.) Its more that here they are creating a TV series for a popular franchise with one of the most iconic creatures in cinema, and their initial comments are about corporate drama, social inequality, and futuristic robotics research. Which are intriguing in their own right, but not the first things I want to hear about when discussing an Alien series.
Another update on the series, according to Deadline
:
The series will be the first Alien story set on Earth and will blend the horror of the original 1979 movie and the action of the 1986 James Cameron-directed sequel, Aliens. Ridley Scott will produce the series via his Scott Free banner.
The Alien series will take place before Weaver’s Ripley character appears and she will not be part of the show, as will none of the characters apart from the alien itself.
Landgraf has previously said that it could debut in 2023.

oh hey how are you doing?We got a new update from Hawley at the TCA. Reported by Collider:
The showrunner previously teased that the series will be set on the “Earth of the future.” He further described it as “Edison versus Westinghouse versus Tesla. Someone’s going to monopolize electricity. We just don't know which one it is...” Connecting to the movies the showrunner compared these companies to the “Weyland-Yutani Corporation, which is clearly also developing artificial intelligence—but what if there are other companies trying to look at immortality in a different way, with cyborg enhancements or transhuman downloads? Which of those technologies is going to win?”

I feel like that was all said before, in an earlier interview.
Because if Xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani have been about anything, it's achieving immortality.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Prometheus actually kinda does include that angle and, to be honest, one of the missing pieces of the original trilogy was why Weyland-Yutani was so obsessed with the Xenomorphs because “they make good weapons” isn’t really a good explanation for the amount of resources they’re willing to throw away to get one.
But, at the least, a company with the resources to sacrifice entire colonies to get at a Xenomorph is definitely doing a bunch of other weird and unethical research and development projects into other things and I could absolutely buy them going hard in on immortality.
Not Three Laws compliant.
I mean, I think that's a weird fanboy theory isn't it? The assumption they won't have aliens in Alien?
Isn't it a bit like assuming no Terminator in Sarah Connor Chronicles?
