Steven Spielberg films the mechanical shark on the set of Jaws

When a harrowing incident forces Wash to flee, he is thrust into a globe-spanning adventure that challenges and reshapes his understanding of family, freedom and love.

Alien: Earth – August 13
Sydney Chandler as Wendy in Alien: Earth
This sci-fi horror series serves as a prequel to the iconic franchise, set two years before Ridley Scott's original film in the year 2120, when Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs – humans with both biological and artificial parts – and synthetics – humanoid robots with artificial intelligence – exist alongside humans.
But the game is changed when the founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids – humanoid robots infused with human consciousness. The first hybrid prototype named Wendy marks a new dawn in the race for immortality, but after Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, she and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
