Plot Overview

Set at the end of the 21st century, the series takes place before Ridley Scott's 1979 film.

Storyline: A mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth, drawing a group of soldiers and a young woman into a battle for survival. The wreckage reveals terrifying alien life forms that could alter Earth’s future forever.

Themes: Humanity’s struggle between its “primordial parasitic past” and its “AI-driven future” is at the series' core, echoing the existential questions of the original Alien.

Connections and Direction:

While respecting the original, the series avoids directly linking to Scott’s Prometheus or Alien: Covenant. Ridley Scott, the creator of the Alien franchise, praised Hawley’s vision, noting the show “respects the original Alien” and expressing excitement to watch it.

With its blend of horror, sci-fi, and exploration of human evolution, Alien: Earth promises a gripping addition to the franchise, reigniting fan anticipation for the Xenomorph’s return.

Alien: Earth has an international cast that includes 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.
