The Xenomorphs return with the debut of Noah Hawley’s “Alien: Earth” series with the highly anticipated show coming to both Hulu and FX.
The two-episode premiere of the show is set for Tuesday night, August 12 streaming on Hulu at 8 p.m. ET as well as on the FX linear channel at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The eight episode season debuts new episodes each Tuesday on Hulu beginning at 8 p.m. ET and on FX at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Hawley, who is best known for his work on series such as “Fargo” and “Legion,” adapted the material based on the “Alien” film franchise, which has spawned numerous sequels ever since the original film was released in 1979.
While details have been sketchy, we’ve got our first real plot details for “Alien: Earth” with a trailer expected in the very near future. Here’s the full synopsis from FX/Hulu:
“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.
“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 FX’s Alien: Earth.”
Led by Chandler, the series also features a cast that includes Timothy Olyphant (“Kirsh”), Alex Lawther (“Hermit”), Samuel Blenkin (“Boy Kavalier”), Babou Ceesay (“Morrow”), Adrian Edmondson (“Atom Eins”), David Rysdahl (“Arthur Sylvia”), Essie Davis (“Dame Sylvia”), Lily Newmark (“Nibs”), Erana James (“Curly”), Adarsh Gourav (“Slightly”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Smee”), Kit Young (“Tootles”), Diêm Camille (“Siberian”), Moe Bar-El (“Rashidi”) and Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Yutani”).
Stay tuned for more information on “Alien: Earth” along with the first full trailer when that debuts!
