Alien: Earth is the latest entry in the long-running sci-fi horror franchise. But in a major first for the series, Alien: Earth isn’t a movie, but a TV show, from Fargo and Legion creator Noah Hawley. Set primarily on terra firma, it sees Weyland-Yutani vessel the USCSS Maginot crash land in New Siam, unleashing the iconic Xenomorph (and other nasty creatures) on Earth.
Starring Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay and more, Alien: Earth is the eighth entry in the mainline Alien series (or the 10th, if you count the pair of Alien Vs. Predator movies). Its place in the Alien timeline is a little bit complicated, however, as like Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, it’s actually a prequel to the very first film.
