'Alien: Earth' Series to Premiere August 12

'Alien: Earth,' the upcoming FX and Hulu series, will premiere on August 12, 2025, and is set in 2120—two years before the original 'Alien' film. The series depicts Earth ruled by five mega-corporations and advanced technologies, including cyborgs, synthetics, and new hybrids like Wendy, a humanoid robot with human consciousness. The main plot follows the crash of a spaceship in Prodigy City, unleashing five deadly alien species on Earth, including the classic Xenomorph and four new monsters. The show explores existential and philosophical themes, focusing on corporate rivalry for immortality and emerging threats from both humans and aliens. Immersive promotional experiences, such as those at San Diego Comic-Con, are being launched to build anticipation. Showrunner Noah Hawley promises a return to the original film's tone, combining nostalgia with new terrors.
