👽 The Alien Universe Expands: Alien Earth Brings Xenomorph Horror to Our Planet
The Alien franchise is about to take a bold new step with the arrival of Alien Earth — the saga’s first-ever live-action TV series. This new production promises to revive the franchise’s signature claustrophobic terror, bringing the Xenomorphs to Earth for the very first time in the official timeline. Set to premiere on August 12, 2025, the series already has a trailer out and is building massive anticipation among sci-fi and horror fans.
📅 Alien Earth Release Date and Where to Watch
In the United States, Alien Earth premieres August 12, 2025, on FX and Hulu, with the first two episodes airing at 8 PM (ET/PT). The season will feature eight episodes in total, released weekly until September 23.
International audiences, including those in Brazil and the UK, can watch the series starting August 13 via Disney+ under the Star hub.
🔍 Alien Earth Plot and Setting
Set in the year 2120, just two years before the events of the original Alien film (1979), the series unfolds in a world dominated by five mega-corporations — including the infamous Weyland-Yutani and a new rival, Prodigy.
The story centers on Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler, a terminally ill young woman whose consciousness is transferred into a synthetic body, making her the first human-synthetic hybrid in history. Wendy joins a corporate investigative team tasked with examining a mysterious crash involving the ship USCSS Maginot in the high-tech Prodigy City.
Inside the wrecked vessel, they encounter five alien life forms — including facehuggers and fully-formed Xenomorphs.
The show promises to blend the Alien franchise’s signature cosmic horror with a deep dive into moral and psychological horror, raising the age-old question: Who are the real monsters — the aliens or the humans?
🎥 Behind the Scenes: Alien Earth’s Production Team
Alien Earth was created by Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), who envisioned the series with potential for multiple seasons — though without following the Marvel-style shared universe format.
Legendary director Ridley Scott, who helmed the original Alien film, serves as executive producer. He praised the show’s recreation of the analog, gritty look of the Nostromo, contrasting it with the more sterile tone of Prometheus.
Hawley also collaborated with Denis Villeneuve (Dune) to help refine the series’ visual world-building.
Combining practical effects with CGI, Alien Earth aims for a balance between realism and spectacle — all without exceeding the budget. This approach is likely to resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
