Noah Hawley's new sci-fi horror series "Alien: Earth" is set to premiere on August 12, 2025, on Hulu, FX, and Disney Plus. The series serves as a prequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 film "Alien," taking place shortly before the events on the planet LV-426. Hawley has introduced several new alien species in addition to the iconic Xenomorphs, aiming to explore broader and more complex themes beyond traditional creature horror. FX is supporting the launch with an official podcast, panoramic views, and a Disney+ Vision Pro experience. The show exists in parallel to "Alien: Romulus" and does not strictly adhere to the continuity of Ridley Scott's prequels, according to FX's president. Multiple trailers and posters have been released, highlighting the arrival of alien monsters and a spaceship crash involving hybrid life forms. Sydney Chandler is among the cast members featured in the series. The showrunner emphasizes that "Alien: Earth" asks bigger questions within the franchise's universe and promises a haunting experience where "everyone can hear you scream."
