FX's Alien: Earth Premieres Summer 2023

The upcoming FX series Alien: Earth, set to debut on Hulu this summer, marks the franchise's first foray into television, reimagining the iconic sci-fi horror for a terrestrial setting. Directed by Noah Hawley, the series takes place two years before Ridley Scott's original film, centering on a young woman and a group of tactical soldiers who discover a crash-landed spaceship and confront terrifying new variants of Xenomorphs. FX has released multiple teasers, showcasing a chilling glimpse of the Xenomorphs and hinting at a deeper exploration of themes related to humanity's safety in a world threatened by these extraterrestrial horrors. Hawley promises that the new design of the creatures, while maintaining the classic silhouette, will evoke a fresh sense of fear as they roam among humans. The show features an ensemble cast including Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, and Essie Davis, contributing to the heightened anticipation for its summer premiere. With its tagline, "We were safer in space," Alien: Earth taps into contemporary fears and societal concerns about vulnerability in our own environment.
