FX and Hulu drop chilling Alien: Earth trailer

Alien fans, get ready to dive back into the terrifying world of Xenomorphs with the upcoming spinoff prequel series Alien: Earth, headed to FX/Hulu this summer. Set two years before the iconic 1979 film Alien, the show will follow the story of a young woman named Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) and a group of soldiers who stumble upon a mysterious spaceship that crash-lands on Earth. Little do they know, the cargo they discover inside could unleash chaos like never before.

The year is 2120, and the series explores a world where competing corporate interests are searching for the key to human longevity and even immortality. Showrunner Noah Hawley promises a return to the style and mythology of the original Alien film, rather than the more recent prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

Wendy, a human/synth hybrid described as having the body of an adult and the consciousness of a child, takes center stage alongside her mentor Kirsh, played by Timothy Olyphant. The stellar cast also includes actors like Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, and Kit Young in various roles.

A mysterious spaceship crash on Earth sets off a chain of events that leads to the discovery of five dangerous alien life forms onboard. As the group delves deeper into their research, they realize they may have unleashed a deadly predator unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. Can they contain the threat before it’s too late?

FX/Hulu recently dropped an intense trailer that sets the stage for the upcoming series, promising a thrilling ride for fans of the franchise. Alien: Earth is set to premiere on August 12, 2025, so mark your calendars and prepare for a pulse-pounding journey into the heart of alien terror.
