Exciting news has emerged with the release of the latest clip for the highly anticipated FX series Alien: Earth, featuring a crew facing dire circumstances as they approach our planet. This thrilling sneak peek sets the stage for a gripping narrative that promises to deliver the suspense and horror fans expect from the Alien franchise.
The revival of the Alien franchise has fans buzzing with anticipation, and we are excited to dive into it. Despite Ridley Scott’s previous endeavors to breathe new life into the series—specifically 2012’s Prometheus and 2017’s Alien: Covenant—which didn’t quite resonate with audiences (even Scott himself has expressed disappointment), Fede Álvarez reignited interest with last year’s Alien: Romulus. Now, we eagerly await the franchise’s first-ever live-action series, Alien: Earth, set to premiere on FX on Hulu later this year, marking a pivotal moment for Alien enthusiasts.
This newest clip of Alien: Earth showcases the franchise’s signature sense of dread and unique design. Viewers witness a frantic character pleading to be let into a spacecraft, shouting, “Let me in – it’s coming!” while another member of the crew updates their status. It’s evident that the tension is palpable as they prepare to confront a formidable threat, hinting at impending peril for the crew—a classic hallmark of the Alien universe.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Alien: Earth is its setting—primarily on our home planet, Earth. Historically, the series hasn’t fared well with Earth-centric narratives (as evidenced by Alien vs. Predator), but showrunner Noah Hawley appears to have a strong vision for this installment. While Alien fans might approach this with a healthy dose of skepticism, the visuals and story elements presented thus far inspire cautious optimism. This series takes place in 2120, just a few years after the events of Ridley Scott’s original Alien, providing a fresh context for the unfolding drama.
The plot of Alien: Earth unfolds as follows: “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical 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 from creator Noah Hawley.” Joining Chandler in this intense narrative are notable actors such as Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babous Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, and many others, promising a diverse and talented cast.
Mark your calendars because Alien: Earth is set to premiere this summer, and anticipation is building among fans of the franchise.
