Engrossing and eerie, the latest Alien series will leave you captivated and unsettled, making it a must-watch.
In the year 2120, the world of "Alien: Earth"—a new series from Noah Hawley—unfolds on Earth, marking the first time the Alien franchise ventures onto the planet itself. The series, which will be available on Disney+ and FX, recreates the chilling atmosphere of Ridley Scott's original "Alien" movie while blending contemporary themes and thrilling action[1].
The story revolves around the crash-landing of the USCSS Maginot, a mysterious space vessel, and the ensuing terrifying threat it brings to humanity. The series' protagonists include Wendy, a hybrid humanoid robot infused with human consciousness, played by Sydney Chandler, and Hermit, portrayed by Alex Lawther. Wendy becomes central to the conflict when the Weyland-Yutani spaceship crashes into Prodigy City, unleashing the deadly alien creatures[2][4].
Set in a world dominated by five mega-corporations—Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold—the series explores a near-future Earth where technological breakthroughs have led to the creation of hybrids, humanoid robots with human consciousness, ushering in a new era in the race for immortality[1][2].
The series runs parallel in timeline with the original 1979 "Alien" movie and fits into the broader franchise chronology about 16 years after "Alien: Covenant" (set in 2104). It combines horror, sci-fi, and thriller elements with the franchise's signature xenomorph action, gore, and atmospheric tension. The show aims to deepen the Alien universe by depicting corporate rivalry, bioengineering ethics, and human survival against terrifying extraterrestrial predators on Earth itself[1][2][3][4].
In addition, Wendy embarks on a journey to find her brother within the wreckage of the crashed ship, encountering various alien species along the way[1]. The first two episodes of the series will be available in Germany on August 13 at 2 AM on Disney+[3].
Prepare for a chilling adventure as "Alien: Earth" premieres in the US on August 12, promising to bring the iconic xenomorph threat to Earth like never before.
