Dived into Alien: Earth, A Sci-Fi Series, Lacking Full Backstory, but Bringing Optimistic News for Others Contemplating Jumping In
In the world of science fiction, the Alien franchise has long been a staple, and now, the latest addition to the series, "Alien: Earth", is set to bring the horror of space to Earth.
The series, airing new episodes on FX on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, is not an entry point to the Alien franchise but it doesn't require tons of lore-knowledge to get into. However, for those who want to maintain narrative continuity, it's recommended to follow the chronological timeline of the story.
According to the most recent sources, the correct order to watch the Alien movies before watching "Alien: Earth" is as follows:
- Alien (1979)
- Aliens (1986)
- Alien 3 (1992)
- Alien: Resurrection (1997)
- Prometheus (2012)
- Alien vs. Predator (2004)
- Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
- Alien: Covenant (2017)
- Alien: Earth (2025 series/premiere date)
"Alien: Earth" is focused on a story centered around super-powered synths and a trillionaire's efforts to capture and cultivate Xenomorphs. The world's youngest trillionaire, Boy Kavalier, is portrayed as an eccentric character with questionable morals, as he removes terminally sick children from their families to heal them, with the condition that they can never return home.
The Xenomorph in "Alien: Earth" does not seem as invulnerable as in other movies, and the series makes numerous references to the story of Peter Pan. The series also features practical effects for its depiction of the Xenomorphs, a departure from the heavy reliance on CGI in some of the previous instalments.
Created by Noah Hawley, who is known for his work on "Legion" and "Fargo", "Alien: Earth" has debuted as one of the major shows on the 2025 TV schedule. The first two episodes have set the stage for an exciting and terrifying adventure.
For those who are fans of the Alien franchise or simply looking for a new sci-fi series to sink their teeth into, "Alien: Earth" is a must-watch. And with a budget comparable to some of the biggest television shows as of late, it promises to deliver a visually stunning and thrilling experience.
If you're not already an FX subscriber, you can catch up on the series with a 30-day free trial for new and eligible returning customers on Hulu. So, buckle up and get ready for a chilling ride with "Alien: Earth"!
