Yara Sameh
FX has finally dropped the official trailer for for the sci-fi horror series "Alien: Earth," an eight-episode series serving as a prequel to Ridley Scott's 'Alien.'
According to the show's synopsis, The official series logline reads: '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. In the year 2120, the 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 wunderkind 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. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.'
The series stars Sydney Chandler as Wendy, Alex Lawther as CJ, Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh, and Adarsh Gourav as Slightly.
Other cast members include Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El.
Though the world of 'Alien' is nine films strong with the release of Fede Alvarez's 'Alien: Romulus' last summer, 'Alien: Earth' marks the first time Scott's long-running sci-fi franchise is sojourning to the small screen.
The first season releases on August 12, though FX boss John Landgraf told Variety he's hopeful the series will return for a second installment.
'We're pretty bullish on 'Alien: Earth' and we've told him that assuming, as we hope, 'Alien: Earth' is a returning television series,' he said. 'We want him to focus on at least writing two seasons of it.'
