Last month, director Fede Alvarez turned back the clock on the Alien franchise with Alien: Romulus, but the upcoming TV series will go back even further. FX’s Alien: Earth is set three decades before Ridley Scott’s original film. And as the title implies, this means the xenomorphs have gotten closer to Earth than anyone previously realized. Now, the first teaser for the series reveals a slightly changed xenomorph design as our home world is reflected on its head.
This clip was previously attached to a few theaters showing Alien: Romulus, but it’s now been released online for the first time. Additionally, FX has sent out the show’s description, which reveals that the xenomorph, or at least the facehuggers, arrived on Earth in “a mysterious space vessel” that crashed on the surface. According to the synopsis, Sydney Chandler’s Wendy “and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”
Continuing the franchise’s theme of including android characters in prominent roles, Timothy Olyphant will portray a synth called Kirsh who acts as Wendy’s mentor. The rest of the cast includes Alex Lawther as CJ, Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, Essie Davis as Dame Silvia, Adarsh Gourav as Slightly, and Kit Young as Tootles. Sandra Yi Sencindiver will also have a recurring role as a senior member of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley developed Alien: Earth for FX as an ongoing series, so there is potential for a second season. However, the show will be skipping a premiere on the FX cable channel and go straight-to-Hulu. It’s expected to premiere in the first half of 2025.
