The trailer not only introduces a new Xenomorph design but also showcases how closely Alien: Earth mirrors the aesthetic of Ridley Scott's 1979 classic. A notable scene takes place in a MU/TH/UR control room, strikingly similar to the one aboard the Nostromo from the original film, where Ripley uncovered the dire situation of her crew.
In the trailer, a crew member frantically seeks help, pounding on a sealed door as the Xenomorph closes in. Meanwhile, Morrow, portrayed by Babou Ceesay, coldly reports that the "specimens are loose," pronounces the crew dead, and sets the ship on a collision course with Earth. The trailer then shifts to a squad of six soldiers advancing, likely towards the crashed ship, hinting at impending danger.
This trailer raises several intriguing questions: Will Morrow survive? What drives his actions? Did any other crew members manage to survive? Is anyone left carrying a Xenomorph embryo? And how will the soldiers meet their fate?
Alien: Earth sets up its narrative around a mysterious spacecraft crash-landing on Earth. The story follows a young woman, played by Sydney Chandler, and a group of tactical soldiers who stumble upon a "fateful discovery" that confronts them with the planet's most formidable threat.
FX's *Alien* series is set in the year 2120, situated between the events of *Prometheus* and *Alien*. This timeline has led fans to speculate whether *Alien: Earth* might depict the Nostromo's departure from Earth or reveal how Weyland-Yutani became aware of the Xenomorphs. For context, the recent interquel *Alien: Romulus* takes place between *Alien* and *Aliens*.In January of last year, showrunner Noah Hawley discussed his decision to steer away from the backstory established in Prometheus for Alien: Earth. He expressed a preference for the "retro-futurism" of the original films. Hawley consulted with Ridley Scott on various aspects of the series but ultimately chose to focus on the lore from the earlier movies, distancing himself from the bioweapon narrative.
Alien: Earth is slated to premiere on Hulu in the summer of 2025, with Alien: Romulus 2 also in development.
