Unearth the grisly details of Hulu's 'Alien: Earth', featuring grotesque extraterrestrial beings and wriggling eyes (video)
In August 2025, the highly anticipated television series "Alien: Earth" is set to grace our screens. This prequel to the original 1979 Alien film, produced by FX and streaming on Hulu in the US, takes us to a chilling future—the year 2120.
The story revolves around a young hybrid woman named Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler. Wendy, who has the body of an adult synthetic/android but the mind of a child, finds herself in the midst of a secret project by the Prodigy Corporation. The series unfolds in Prodigy City, Earth’s neon-lit, corporate-controlled metropolis, where a crash-landed Weyland-Yutani exploratory starship, the USCSS Maginot, creates a chaotic scene.
A commando team, led by an as-yet-unspecified character played by Alex Lawther, and featuring Timothy Olyphant, embarks on a rescue mission. They encounter terrifying new alien life forms, more horrifying than known xenomorphs, that threaten Earth's survival. The show delves into intense corporate rivalry among five powerful companies—Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold—that control nations and vie for technological dominance, particularly in advanced android/hybrid life creation.
The discovery of these alien creatures forces the team into a fight for survival and poses profound implications for Earth's future. "Alien: Earth" offers a tense, thrilling sci-fi narrative that deepens the beloved Alien franchise lore, setting up a complex future where the question is which form of life will dominate—synthetic androids, cyborgs, or hybrids like Wendy.
The series premieres with a two-episode debut on August 12, 2025. For those living outside the US, "Alien: Earth" can be found on Disney+. The show is executive produced and directed by Noah Hawley.
In the UK, "Alien: Earth" can be watched on Disney+ with prices varying for ad-supported, ad-free, and 4K streaming. The standard ad-free plan is £8.99/month or £89.90/year.
