‘Alien: Earth' Touches Down Tonight—Here's How to Watch

‘Alien: Earth' Touches Down Tonight—Here's How to Watch

Elle4 days ago
For showrunner Noah Hawley, the challenge of Alien: Earth wasn't just bringing one of sci-fi's most iconic monsters—the Xenomorph—to television for the first time; it was making sure the FX prequel series, which is set before Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien, wasn't only about the monster.
'I tried to figure out what the first two films [Alien and Aliens] made me feel and why. How can I create those feelings in an audience by telling a totally different story?' Hawley told The Hollywood Reporter in July. 'With Alien: Earth, it has to be a great dramatic show. Then the monsters become this bonus that you get, versus just doing monster action and horror.'
Alien: Earth takes the franchise to a new setting—our own planet—and highlights the kind of class power struggles that have always lurked beneath the surface of the Alien films. 'One of the things that Alien is to me is a movie about class. You start the first movie with space truckers, and then the second movie is [Marine] grunts. [Paul Reiser's character] is middle management. There's this sense that class is a real issue as a 1970s thing that came into it. So I wanted to bring that element into this show as well,' Hawley told The Hollywood Reporter.
Here's how to tune into the new show.
The series kicks off with a two-episode premiere on Tuesday, August 12, at 8 P.M. ET on FX and Hulu. There are eight episodes in total.
New installments debut on Tuesdays at 8 P.M. ET on FX and on Hulu at the same time. Check out the full episode release schedule below:

Virgin dating series 'Are You My First?' hasn't even premiered yet, but is already flooded with applicants for Season 2

They're making the best 'laid' plans. The new virgin dating series 'Are You My First?' hasn't even premiered yet, but celibate singles are already hoping the show gets renewed for a second season — so they can lose their innocence on national television. 'I have never had so many virgins sliding into my DMs … But I will say this, if and when Season 2 happens, we will have a wide variety of virgins flocking to the show,' its co-host, former 'Bachelor' Colton Underwood, told The Post ahead of its Aug. 18 premiere. 'I've also received a lot of friends nominating people. And then when you click on their profile, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, they would be good.' I definitely have a list of screenshots and saves for Season 2 for casting.' The Hulu series, which was created by the producers of 'Love Island,' follows 21 virgins — ranging in age from 24 to 34 — on their quest to lose their v-cards. 5 Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe are the hosts of the new virgin dating show 'Are You My First?' on Hulu. Disney Underwood's co-host Kaitlyn Bristowe, who starred as 'The Bachelorette' in 2015, faced backlash for being the first leading lady to speak openly about having sex — admitting she did the deed with more than one contestant. The 40-year-old Canadian native said the terrible way she was treated back then has helped her sympathize with the virgins. 'It gave me a bit more empathy for people who chose not to have sex because I was like, 'Well, who am I to judge those people seeing how badly I got judged?'' she said. 5 On her 'Bachelorette' season in 2015, Bristowe got engaged to Shawn Booth. Underwood, who starred as 'Bachelor' in 2019, dated Cassie Randolph. Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Bristowe found it surreal to see the virgins so reserved when it came to kissing — with one of the contestants, 28-year-old Katya, a theatre artist from Manhattan, going so far as to tell the man she was interested in he'd have to 'earn' her smooch. 'I was thinking of my night one as 'The Bachelorette.' And that was like child's play to me because I was like, 'I'm gonna make out with as many as I can and see who I have chemistry with.'' Bristowe, who got engaged to personal trainer Shawn Booth on 'The Bachelorette' and dated him for three years before their split in 2018, said it was refreshing to witness the cast's 'intentional' approach to courtship. 'We are so used to the craziness that we see on usual reality TV shows with dating where I'm like almost uncomfy, where this is like a sweeter, softer version,' she said. 'It's also crazy that we see somebody have their first kiss on camera ever. That's wild to me.' 5 'Are You My First?' features 21 virgins from around the country, ranging in age from 24 to 34. Disney Underwood, 33, starred as 'The Bachelor' in 2019, and at the time, he was a virgin. The Indiana native ended up dating contestant Cassie Randolph, a speech pathologist, for almost two years — and when they split, he confessed he was gay. 'Mine is a very complex story that America now knows,' he said. 'I think that when people watch this show, they're really going to understand there's so many reasons that people decide not to lose their virginity at a young age.' 5 'I think that when people watch this show, they're really going to understand there's so many reasons that people decide not to lose their virginity at a young age,' Underwood said about the 'Are You My First?' contestants, several of whom cited religion. Disney Several of the 'Are You My First?' contestants — many of whom are Mormon — revealed their religion was preventing them from giving it up. 'As a Christian man, it is easy to hide behind your faith — and I say that with all the respect to my faith and to Christianity — when you have other insecurities and other traumatic things that you're trying to work through,' said Underwood. Although the fact that some of the contestants — like a cocktail waitress and an NFL cheerleader — were still virgins may shock viewers, the hosts said they were not surprised. 'You spend a minute around them and you're like, 'Oh, I get it now,'' Underwood said. 5 During one awkward moment on the series, Michael, a stand-up comedian from Austin, tells Rachael, a cocktail waitress from Tampa, that his celebrity crush is William Howard Taft. Disney The hosts also had their fill of boring banter and anemic pickup lines — like when Michael, 26, a stand-up comedian from Austin, TX, revealed his celebrity crush was the late 27th president, William Howard Taft. 'I didn't even know who that is,' Underwood confessed. Bristowe said it was the awkward silences that really got to her. 'Everything in me wants to step in and be like, 'Somebody say something!''
