Terror Touches Down on 'Alien: Earth' Official Trailer
Summary
Get ready for a new chapter of terror, as the Xenomorph finally comes to released the highly anticipated official trailer forAlien: Earth, the new sci-fi horror series that marks the first time the iconic franchise brings its terrifying creatures to our home planet.
The series, created by Emmy winner Noah Hawley and executive produced byRidley Scott, is a prequel set in the year 2120, two years before the events of the original Alien film. The plot kicks off when the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth. Its arrival unleashes mysterious, predatory life forms – including the infamous Xenomorph – onto a planet already grappling with a 'Corporate Era' dominated by five mega-corporations and the rise of advanced synthetics and 'hybrids.'
The trailer introduces Sydney Chandler as Wendy, a 'hybrid' (a humanoid robot infused with human consciousness) and the first prototype from Prodigy Corporation, who finds herself face-to-face with humanity's greatest threat. The footage is packed with chilling visuals, hinting at claustrophobic ship hallways, intense encounters with various alien life forms (with one character ominously stating the ship 'collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe,' and one being 'predatory,' suggesting even a Predator could appear), and the terrifying realization that the 'perfect organism' has arrived on Earth. The cast also includes Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, and Samuel Blenkin, among Earthis the firs time Scott's franchise hits the small screens.
Alien: Earthwill premiere with its first two episodes on August 12, 2025, at 8 PM on FX, with new episodes following weekly. It will also be available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally.
