FX has dropped the first trailer for Alien: Earth, a bold new spin-off series from the Alien franchise, and it looks every bit as intense and atmospheric as fans had hoped. Helmed by acclaimed writer-director Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), the series reimagines the iconic sci-fi horror world for the small screen, bringing the terror not just closer to home—but right to Earth. Slated for release on August 12, 2025, the show is already generating serious buzz for its grounded tone, suspenseful storytelling, and fresh take on the legendary xenomorph mythos.
Set in the near future, Alien: Earth begins with the crash-landing of the USCSS Maginot, a mysterious deep space research vessel, on Earth. What follows is anything but a routine recovery mission. Sydney Chandler stars as Wendy, a resilient survivor who teams up with a mismatched group of tactical soldiers to investigate the wreckage. What they discover deep beneath the surface not only defies explanation but threatens the future of the planet itself. The trailer teases dark corridors, eerie silences, and bursts of xenomorphic violence that will satisfy both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
The ensemble cast includes an exciting mix of talent: Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Moe Bar El, and Adarsh Gourav. Each brings a unique energy to a story that appears to be as much about survival and fear as it is about human fragility in the face of unknown horror. Executive produced by Hawley, the show promises a character-driven narrative, atmospheric world-building, and the kind of existential dread the Alien series is known for.
With FX backing the project and Noah Hawley’s reputation for crafting complex, genre-bending television, Alien: Earth could be the next big event series. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Ridley Scott's original vision or simply love a good sci-fi thriller, this series looks ready to deliver the scares, the stakes, and the substance.
