Xenomorph fanatics, brace yourselves for a full-scale planetary infestation! The August premiere date for the new “Alien: Earth” series has been revealed, and the good news is that the wait won’t be that long. It’s landing this summer!
Coming Soon
“Alien: Earth” is set to kick off with a double dose of terror – a two-episode drop on Tuesday, August 12th. You’ll be able to witness the terrifying debut simultaneously on Hulu starting at 8 p.m. ET and on the FX linear channel at 8 p.m. ET/PT. For our international xenomorph enthusiasts, the series premiere will also be available to stream on Disney+ on the same day. Following this explosive launch, a new episode will be unleashed weekly every Tuesday. Get ready for a weekly dose of alien nightmares!
“Alien: Earth” is the prequel series to Ridley Scott’s groundbreaking 1979 masterpiece, Alien. And the creative force behind this terrifying saga? None other than Noah Hawley, the critically acclaimed showrunner who brought us the mind-bending and visually stunning series such as FX’s “Fargo” and “Legion.” Hawley is not just writing this terrifying tale; he’s also directing it, promising a singular and potentially groundbreaking vision for the “Alien” universe.
Fans are getting a visceral and deeply unsettling glimpse into the horrifying life cycle of these iconic creatures. It’s a stark reminder of just how insidious and utterly terrifying the xenomorphs have been since they first burst onto our screens. The visuals are guaranteed to send shivers down your spine and reignite that primal fear that the original film so expertly drilled into our collective consciousness. It’s a brutal reminder that there are far, far more dangerous things lurking out in the cosmos… and now, potentially, in our own backyard.
What’s it About?
The official synopsis for the series gives us a tantalizing bit more context: “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a group of soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s highly anticipated TV series “Alien: Earth.” This flips the classic “Alien” scenario on its head – the xenomorphs aren’t just waiting for us in the cold vacuum of space; they’re coming to our turf. What kind of utter chaos and unimaginable carnage will ensue when these ultimate predators are unleashed on our unsuspecting planet? We can only imagine the chest-bursting possibilities!
