Alien: Earth to Premiere August 12 on Three Platforms

Alien: Earth, created by Noah Hawley, premieres August 12, 2024, on FX, Hulu, and Disney+, with Ridley Scott as executive producer. Set two years before Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien, the series stars Sydney Chandler as Wendy, a hybrid robot with a child's consciousness. Wendy leads a group of survivors after a spaceship crash unleashes Xenomorphs on Earth, marking a new chapter in the franchise. The story explores a future shaped by powerful corporations, including Prodigy and Weyland-Yutani, amid themes of corporate dominance and climate catastrophe. Hawley and Chandler highlight the show's matriarchal focus, with Wendy's journey reflecting the franchise's legacy of strong female leads. The ensemble cast supports the expansion of the Alien universe.
