- *
Get ready for a thrilling journey as the "Alien" franchise takes a chilling turn on your screens! The long-awaited trailer for the sci-fi horror series "Alien: Earth" has dropped, promising an electrifying spectacle that will give you goosebumps. The eight-episode production from the US network FX delves into terrifying new territory, with a prequel to Ridley Scott's (87) groundbreaking 1979 original film. The legendary director is back on board as a producer for this heart-stopping adventure. For the very first time, the blood-curdling Xenomorphs in "Alien: Earth" will invade Earth itself, leaving no corner of our planet unscathed.
The "Alien" Franchise Steps into the Unknown
"Alien: Earth" unfolds in the year 2120, a mere two years before the events of the first "Alien" film. The series premieres on Disney+ in Germany on August 13, 2025. The trailer gives us a glimpse of the plot: a mysterious spacecraft crashes near a research facility, and the horrifying cargo on board becomes Earth's worst nightmare.
In the power struggle of the era, where humans, cyborgs, and synthetics coexist, the Prodigy Corporation, one of the five powerful corporations, takes the reins. The CEO sends an eclectic team, led by the indomitable Wendy (Sydney Chandler, 29), to investigate the mysterious crash. Wendy is a hybrid - a humanoid robot with a human consciousness, the result of a revolutionary experimental process[1][2]. The spacecraft is revealed to have been transporting five deadly life forms from the darkest recesses of the universe - including the infamous Alien creatures.
Star-Studded Ensemble under the Masterful Direction of Noah Hawley
Behind the scenes is the creative genius of Noah Hawley, the mastermind behind the popular series "Fargo" and "Legion." Along with Sydney Chandler as Wendy, the star-studded cast boasts Samuel Blenkin ("Black Mirror," 29), Alex Lawther ("The End of the F...ing World," 30), Timothy Olyphant ("Justified," 57), and Essie Davis (55), known for her role in "Game of Thrones" among others. "Alien: Earth" marks the first live-action series of the revered science fiction franchise[5].
