The upcoming Hulu series, set two years before the original 'Alien' film, explores a catastrophic xenomorph threat on Earth with a serialized format.

- The series, directed by Noah Hawley with Ridley Scott as executive producer, is set in 2120, two years prior to the events of the original 1979 'Alien' film.
- 'Alien: Earth' marks the first serialized TV adaptation of the franchise, with episodes releasing weekly on Hulu starting in summer 2025.
- The plot centers on a young woman, played by Sydney Chandler, and a group of tactical soldiers confronting a xenomorph threat after a mysterious spaceship crash-lands on Earth.
- The series draws heavily on the aesthetic and thematic elements of the original film, including the retro-futuristic design and the use of the MU/TH/UR AI system.
