Fresh, thrilling, and smart — Alien: Earth reinvents the franchise perfectly.

I’ve been really looking forward to Alien: Earth, dropping August 12, 2025, on FX and Hulu. Noah Hawley’s take feels like a fresh breath for the franchise, set just two years before the original Alien film.

It follows Wendy, a synthetic kid, who stumbles on a crashed ship unleashing five alien species — including yes, the legendary Xenomorph. The cast includes Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant, bringing strong performances to the screen.

It’s not tied to Alien: Romulus, so you get a new, standalone story. Honestly, I think this blend of horror, sci-fi, and sharp social themes might be the best Alien content in years. Can’t wait to see where it goes!

Do you think Alien: Earth will become your new favourite Alien story?
