‘Alien: Earth’ – Watch the First Footage from the First Ever ‘Alien’ Television Series

John Squires

In the wake of Alien: Romulus comes the FX/Hulu series “Alien: Earth” sometime next year, which is set to be the first ever television series set within the official Alien universe.

As part of a 2025 preview video from Disney+, we’ve got the first footage from “Alien: Earth” this morning, which gives us a brief sneak peek at the locations and characters.

One character says in voiceover, “This ship collected specimens from faraway moons… monsters.” The suggestion there is that a Xenomorph specimen has been brought back to Earth in the upcoming “Alien: Earth,” which will indeed be the franchise’s first installment set here on Earth. Check out the first look preview footage for next year’s “Alien: Earth” below.

Creator Noah Hawley recently told Deadline, “There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes that is truly chilling… to think of it moving here among us. And so I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see that, but you’ll see it — and you’re going to lock your door that night.”

Sydney Chandler stars in FX’s “Alien: Earth,” set roughly 70 years in the future. FX had originally teased, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

In “Alien: Earth”…

“When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”

The series is set 30 years before the events of the original Alien – Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, meanwhile, takes place 20 years *after* the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien.

The upcoming “Alien: Earth” deals with “the emergence of the story’s infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race between corporations to create new android life.”

Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”

Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Erana James (“Uproar”), Lily Newmark (“Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black”), Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace”), Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Foundation”), and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral) also star in the upcoming sci-fi/horror series.
