Yes, while Alien prequel Prometheus was free of cinema’s spookiest extraterrestrials, it looks like the xenomorphs will be back in gut-wrenching action in Covenant.

Covenant, the second chapter in the alien prequel trilogy, will be set 10 years after Prometheus and will follow the colony ship Covenant discovering a paradise world on the far side of the galaxy, only to learn it's actually a dangerous place whose only inhabitant is the synthetic David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
