*FX has unleashed a gripping trailer for “Alien: Earth,” a highly anticipated sci-fi horror series set to launch on August 12 on FX and FX on Hulu.
This eight-episode prequel, created by Noah Hawley, ventures into the “Alien” franchise, unfolding in 2120—two years before the events of the 1979 film that introduced Sigourney Weaver’s iconic Ripley. Unlike the franchise’s hallmark settings of confined spaceships or desolate prisons, this series grounds its terror on Earth, offering a bold new perspective.
The trailer centers on Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler, a hybrid prototype—a humanoid robot infused with human consciousness, developed by Prodigy Corporations. The official logline sets the stage: “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in the sci-fi horror series ‘Alien: Earth.’”
This crash, involving the Weyland-Yutani vessel USCSS Maginot, introduces five unique lifeforms, including the franchise’s infamous Xenomorphs and previously unseen species. As the recovery crew navigates the wreckage, they encounter predatory creatures that surpass their darkest fears.
The trailer hints at relentless battles for survival, with the crew’s discovery holding the potential to alter Earth’s future. The series promises not only heart-pounding horror but also a pivotal decision that could redefine the planet’s fate.“Alien: Earth” blends familiar elements of the franchise with innovative twists, expanding the universe in chilling ways.
With its Earth-based setting and new lifeforms, the show is poised to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers, delivering a fresh, terrifying chapter to the “Alien” legacy.
