Alien: Earth (2025) – Official Trailer | Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis
Brace for terror with *Alien: Earth*, the first-ever TV series in the iconic *Alien* franchise, premiering August 12, 2025, on FX and Hulu! Created by Noah Hawley (*Fargo*, *Legion*), this R-rated sci-fi horror-thriller, set in 2120, takes the Xenomorphs to Earth for the first time, just two years before the 1979 *Alien* film. When the USCSS Maginot, a mysterious deep-space vessel, crash-lands in Prodigy City, a young hybrid named Wendy (Sydney Chandler)—a humanoid robot with human consciousness—leads a ragtag team of tactical soldiers, including characters played by Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, and Adarsh Gourav, to confront the planet’s greatest threat: Xenomorphs and four other deadly alien species. Timothy Olyphant stars as Kirsh, Wendy’s synthetic mentor, while Sandra Yi Sencindiver plays a key Weyland-Yutani executive. With Babou Ceesay as Morrow, plus Essie Davis, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diêm Camille, Moe Bar-El, and guest stars like Richa Moorjani, the series explores corporate greed, AI ethics, and humanity’s survival in a world ruled by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. Shot in Thailand, with filming wrapped in summer 2024, the 8-episode season boasts Max Richter’s haunting score and Erik Henry’s chilling VFX (*Alien: Resurrection*). The trailer, released June 5, 2025, hit 178.7M views in 24 hours (Deadline), teasing a “nostalgic yet fresh” vibe with proto-pulse rifles and a Predator-like clicking sound hinting at surprises (The Hollywood Reporter). Critics call it “a game-changer for the franchise” with a 7.5/10 IMDb rating and 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, though some fans question its prequel timeline (Reddit). Will humanity survive the Xenomorph invasion? 🔫🩸
🎬 Premieres August 12, 2025, at 8 PM ET on FX/Hulu (US) and Disney+ Star (UK/Europe)! Two-episode premiere, then weekly releases.
