Alien: Earth: Release date, plot, cast, and everything we know so far
After decades spent in space and as a film franchise, Alien: Earth is bringing the Alien franchise both to Earth and to the small screen. The show, which has been in development for years, will finally hit television in 2025. Created by Noah Hawley, the show brings the xenomorph threat to Earth, which is not totally unprecedented in the history of this franchise, but pretty close. Given that a lot is riding on this show, it's natural for people to have questions about it. Here's everything we know: What is Alien: Earth about? The official synopsis for the show explains: 'When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, Wendy (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.' Recommended Videos The story is reportedly set in the year 2120, just two years before the events of the original Alien and 16 years after the events of Alien: Covenant. At this point in Earth's history, the world is ruled by five massive corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. We know from the trailers that the main character is a synthetic, a fully human person whose mind was transferred into a new, enhanced body. We also know that the ship that crash-landed on Earth collected five dangerous alien creatures, which suggests that the xenomorph won't be the only thing on the hunt in this series. On a more thematic level, the show appears to be a meditation on the lines between artificial intelligence and humanity. This definitely isn't a new theme for this franchise, but given that the series is set on Earth, it's possible we'll interact with even more non-human characters than we have in the past. When is the release date for Alien: Earth? Alien: Earth is set to hit Hulu and FX at 8 p.m. ET on August 12. The show will debut with two episodes, with one episode debuting each week from then until the end of the eight-episode season. Episode Dates: Episode 1 – Neverland: August 12 Episode 2 – Mr. October: August 12 Episode 3 – Metamorphosis: August 19 Episode 4 – Observation: August 26 Episode 5 – TBD: September 2 Episode 6 – TBD: September 9 Episode 7 – TBD: September 16 Episode 8 – TBD: September 23 Are there any trailers for Alien: Earth? There have been tons of trailers for Alien: Earth, including a full trailer that was released on June 5. That trailer gives a pretty full understanding of the premise but doesn't offer a ton of spoilers beyond that. Overall, the trailers have given us the sense that this show is well-resourced and has the budget to be a long-term success. Who is in the cast of Alien: Earth? The cast of Alien: Earth includes: Sydney Chandler as Wendy as Wendy Alex Lawther as Hermit as Hermit Essie Davis as Dame Sylvia as Dame Sylvia Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh as Kirsh Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier as Boy Kavalier Kit Young as Tootles as Tootles Adarsh Gourav as Slightly as Slightly Erana James as Curly as Curly David Rysdahl as Arthur Sylvia as Arthur Sylvia Babou Ceesay as Morrow as Morrow Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins as Atom Eins Lily Newmark as Nibs as Nibs Jonathan Ajayi as Smee as Smee Diêm Camille as Siberian as Siberian Moe Bar-El as Rashidi as Rashidi Sandra Yi Sencindiver as Yutani Where can I stream Alien: Earth?

When Earth's Surface Shifts, a New Satellite Will See It
A new radar satellite, successfully launched on Wednesday, will track tiny shifts across almost all of Earth's land and ice regions, measuring changes as slight as a centimeter, or less than half an inch. The satellite is a joint mission between NASA and India's space agency and has been in the making for more than a decade. The satellite lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on India's southeastern coast. About 20 minutes later, it was released into an orbit that passes close to the North and South Poles at about 464 miles above Earth's surface. At the mission control center, the reaction was jubilation. The visitors' gallery there included a few thousand students, and tens of thousands of people watched online. 'This success is demonstrating teamwork, international teamwork between two space-faring nations,' V. Narayanan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO, said after the launch. Casey Swails, NASA's deputy associate administrator, followed with equally complimentary remarks. 'This Earth science mission is one of a kind, and really shows the world what our two nations can do,' she said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
