The "Alien" franchise, known for its terrifying extraterrestrial creatures and gripping sci-fi horror, is set to expand with the premiere of a new television series: "Alien: Earth". Created by Noah Hawley, the mastermind behind "Fargo", this latest entry promises to deliver a chilling addition to the franchise, marking its first foray into television.

"Alien: Earth" premieres on Tuesday and takes place two years before the events depicted in the original "Alien" film. The series is not focused on the stories of "Prometheus" or "Alien: Covenant", but instead offers a unique perspective by setting the action on Earth. For the first time in the franchise's history, we will witness the Xenomorph's arrival on our planet.

In the world of "Alien: Earth", powerful global corporations, including Weyland-Yutani, vie for control after a spaceship crash-lands on Earth, holding dangerous cargo. The series promises to explore advanced biotech and synthetic beings, providing a chance to map out the world of Ellen Ripley and company in their epic battle against one of the galaxy's fiercest creatures.

The "Alien" universe, originally introduced in Ridley Scott's 1979 film "Alien", now consists of a multi-chaptered timeline that tells the story of the Xenomorph. The chronological order of the films and the new TV show within the Alien universe timeline is as follows:

1. Prometheus (2089) – Explores the origins of the Alien creatures.
2. Alien: Covenant (2104) – Continues the storyline from Prometheus.
3. Alien: Earth (TV series, 2120) – Takes place two years before the original Alien film, depicting Earth under the control of powerful corporations, exploring advanced biotech and synthetic beings.
4. Alien (2122) – The original film where the crew of the Nostromo first encounters the Xenomorph.
5. Alien: Romulus (2142) – Bridges the gap between Alien and Aliens.
6. Aliens (2179) – The sequel following Ripley’s return to the Xenomorph-contaminated colony.
7. Alien 3 – Continues after Aliens.
8. Alien: Resurrection – Set further after Alien 3.

"Alien: Earth" fits uniquely as a prequel set between the prequel films and the original movie, offering a glimpse into the evolution of Earth's corporate and synthetic technology just before the events of the original "Alien" film.

Fans of the franchise can look forward to seeing Michael Fassbender's chilling performance as the android David in "Alien: Covenant", while also anticipating the exciting new direction the "Alien" universe is taking with the premiere of "Alien: Earth".
