PopHorror Let's Get Scared
If you’re like me, you can never get enough of the Alien franchise. Through hits, misses, and big misses, we’ve all stood by the films from 1978’s Alien to 2024’s Alien: Romulus. This summer, the franchise is going somewhere it’s never gone before: to television! FX network and Hulu, both subsidiaries of Disney, will be bringing us Alien: Earth!
Read on for the details and to see the teasers they’ve released so far!
Synopsis
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 in the sci-fi horror series ‘Alien: Earth.’ As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.
Noah Hawley is pioneering the series as principal creator, writer, and director. It stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille and Moe Bar-El.
