Alien: Earth is an American science fiction horror television series created by Noah Hawley. It is the first television series in the Alien franchise and is set two years before the events of the 1979 film Alien . The series stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, and Timothy Olyphant in main roles.

Contents

Development for the series was reported to have begun in early 2019, with Ridley Scott attached to executive produce for FX on Hulu. It had started pre-production by April 2023, with Chandler cast in the lead role the following month, and further casting taking place from July to November that year. After principal photography was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production began in July 2023 but was halted in August due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Filming resumed in April 2024 and ended in July that year.

Alien: Earth premiered on FX and FX on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ internationally on August 12, 2025.

Premise

The opening of the first episode introduces the series' central premise: humanity's pursuit of immortality through three paths—cyborgs, humans enhanced with biomechatronic body parts; synthetics, fully artificial beings endowed with intelligence; and hybrids, synthetic bodies containing transferred human consciousness. [2]

When the deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, a young hybrid woman named Wendy and a group of tactical soldiers make a discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's biggest threat. [3]

1"Neverland" Noah Hawley Noah HawleyAugust 12, 2025 (2025-08-12)0.589 [20]
In 2120, five companies control Earth and the colonized Solar System, including the emerging Prodigy Corporation. After a 65-year mission to collect alien specimens, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation vessel USCSS Maginot malfunctions and crashes into Prodigy's city of New Siam, releasing a Xenomorph. At Prodigy's Neverland research island, a terminally ill girl named Marcy Hermit becomes the first human-synthetic hybrid, renaming herself Wendy after the character from Peter Pan. With the help of her synthetic mentor Kirsh, Wendy leads five other hybrids on rescue operations following the crash, while seeking to save her human brother Joe as Prodigy CEO Boy Kavalier exploits the disaster for corporate gain.
2"Mr. October" Dana Gonzales Noah HawleyAugust 12, 2025 (2025-08-12)0.380 [20]
Kavalier reveals that he created the hybrid program to help humanity compete with artificial intelligence, and granted Wendy enhanced abilities to create a person smarter than himself. He refuses Weyland-Yutani's demand to reclaim the Maginot's cargo, warning that any intrusion on Prodigy territory will be treated as hostile. In New Siam, Joe is hunted by the Xenomorph until Weyland-Yutani security officer Morrow intervenes; the creature escapes after killing several soldiers. Meanwhile, the hybrids arrive in the city and encounter other alien specimens. Wendy finds Joe, who is stunned to learn that she is his resurrected sister, formerly Marcy. As they discover a cluster of Xenomorph eggs, Joe is seized by the creature, prompting Wendy to pursue it.
3"Metamorphosis"Dana GonzalesNoah Hawley and Bob DeLaurentis August 19, 2025 (2025-08-19)0.441 [21]
Nibs questions Curly about why the hybrids are all named after Peter Pan characters and why Marcy was chosen as Wendy. Despite objections from Kirsh and Dame Sylvia, Kavalier orders the alien specimens transferred to Neverland island for study. In New Siam, Morrow discovers Smee and Slightly guarding Xenomorph eggs, downloads the Maginot's data, and erases the source before planting a device on Slightly and escaping. Wendy and Joe kill the Xenomorph with a meat hook but are severely injured, and both are taken to the island for treatment. Morrow contacts Ms. Yutani and vows to retrieve the specimens. On Neverland, Curly challenges Kavalier's favoritism toward Wendy, while Morrow manipulates Slightly through the implanted device. Kirsh, Tootles, and Curly experiment on a facehugger, implanting its larva into Joe's damaged lung, removed during surgery. Wendy awakens, experiencing pain as she senses the Xenomorph eggs' signals, and collapses in the lab.
4"Observation"Ugla HauksdóttirNoah Hawley and Bobak EsfarjaniAugust 26, 2025 (2025-08-26)0.393 [22]
After Wendy awakens, Arthur adjusts her hearing so she can perceive the Xenomorph eggs without pain, and Wendy discovers she can speak the Xenomorphs' language in a frequency audible to humans. Kirsh and Tootles experiment with Trypanohyncha ocellus, an octopus-like creature that implants itself in a sheep’s brain through its eye socket. Tootles renames himself Isaac after Isaac Newton. Morrow manipulates Slightly—whose real name is revealed as Aarush Singh from India—into stealing a Xenomorph egg, using threats to his family as leverage. Nibs becomes violent after claiming to be pregnant and is unknowingly placed under house arrest. Disillusioned by his sister’s treatment by Prodigy, Joe attempts to resign from the company, but Atom Eins threatens to send him a large bill for his new lung and forever separate him from his Wendy. When Slightly refuses to steal an egg, Morrow orders him to lure a human host to be implanted by a facehugger, unaware that Kirsh has been monitoring their conversations. Later, Wendy witnesses the Xenomorph emerging from Joe's former lung and soothes the creature through communication.
5"In Space, No One..."Noah HawleyNoah HawleySeptember 2, 2025 (2025-09-02)0.361 [23]
A flashback shows the events that on the Maginot before it reached Earth. A fire releases two facehuggers that attack Captain Dinsdale and Science Officer Bronski. Morrow, the ship's security officer, is awoken from cryo-sleep and learns the ship’s navigation systems were damaged, suspecting sabotage. Dinsdale dies during attempted removal of the facehugger, and Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep, in an ultimately futile attempt to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph. Executive Officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow and Mother, the ship's computer, threatens to relieve Zaveri if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. As other alien specimens escape, more crew members are killed. Morrow discovers chief engineer Petrovich sabotaged the ship in exchange for a promised hybrid body from Kavalier. Petrovich murders Clem before Morrow kills him and seals himself in the control room as the remaining crew are slaughtered. In the present, Morrow contacts Ms. Yutani, offering to retrieve the specimens by force and assassinate Kavalier.
6"The Fly"Ugla HauksdóttirNoah Hawley and Lisa LongSeptember 9, 2025 (2025-09-09)0.478 [24]
As the Xenomorph grows, Wendy works on communicating with the Xenomorph. Nibs undergoes testing, prompting Atom Eins to demand Nibs memory be reset to before the Maginot's crash. Dame Sylvia reluctantly accepts, but Arthur refuses, and is fired under threat of execution if Arthur is not gone by the end of the day. Wendy talks to Nibs and understands that Nibs was reprogrammed. Wendy confronts Dame about Nibs' condition. Meanwhile, Kavalier meets with Yutani over the ship's return and outwits Yutani, securing 20 billion USD in additional damages on top of the expected compensation while keeping the specimens for 6 weeks due to quarantine. Kirsh asks Isaac to feed and water the specimens while Kirsh is away. While feeding the specimens, the Ocellus surprises Isaac and Isaac is locked in a cage with two fly-like creatures, who kill Isaac with acid and feed on Isaac's body. Slightly tries to lure Joe to the alien eggs, but Joe declines due to reassignment. Joe later visits a packing Arthur, who covertly deactivates Wendy's tracking device and gives Joe a boat code to help Joe and Wendy to escape. Noticing Isaac is disconnected, Arthur goes to the lab accompanied by Slightly. Slightly opens the cage of the Xenomorph eggs and locks Arthur inside the lab, allowing a facehugger to latch onto Arthur. Kirsh watches this through security cameras, but does not tell Kavalier. Slightly hides along with Arthur's body in an air vent as the flies leave their cage.
7"Emergence"Dana GonzalesNoah Hawley and Maria MelnikSeptember 16, 2025 (2025-09-16)0.385 [25]
Smee discovers Slightly hiding an incapacitated Arthur. Slightly convinces Smee to help deliver Arthur to Morrow on the beach. Security re-secures the lab specimens. Wendy is disgusted by Kavalier's attitude to Isaac's death, and convinces Nibs to join her and Joe in escaping the island. Curly doesn't want to leave the island and is consoled by Dame. Wendy hacks the lab system, releasing the grown Xenomorph, which starts to kill people and escapes into the forest. Kirsh finds Slightly and Smee carrying Arthur's body, but helps them to take a faster route to the beach. Outside, Arthur awakes after the facehugger dies. Shortly after, a newborn Xenomorph bursts from Arthur's chest and escapes. Slightly and Smee take Arthur's corpse to the beach, where Morrow's Yutani arrive. Having failed to bring the newborn Xenomorph, Morrow captures Slightly and Smee. After Kirsh shows Kavalier the Ocellus caused the lab accident involving Isaac's death, Kavalier becomes fascinated with the creature's intelligence, and wants to place it into a human host. Outside the lab, Wendy, Joe, and Nibs are held at gunpoint by Yutani forces, but Wendy calls the Xenomorph which kills the Yutani soldiers. Morrow's team enter the facility, but they are taken captive by Kirsh, who has also captured the newborn Xenomorph. Wendy, Joe, and Nibs reach the boat, but they are intercepted by Neverland security. Nibs, frustrated, brutally kills a soldier, prompting Joe to shoot Nibs with a taser. A shocked Wendy scolds Joe, as the Xenomorph watches in the distance.
8"The Real Monsters"Dana GonzalesNoah Hawley & Migizi Pensoneau September 23, 2025 (2025-09-23)0.469 [26]
Wendy, Nibs, Slightly, Smee and Curly are imprisoned in one cell while Joe and Morrow are imprisoned in another cell. Wendy uses her connection to the network to block the facility's cameras and communications. Wendy struggles with Joe's decision to shoot Nibs, believing Joe chose to ally himself with humans instead of her, but ultimately unlocks Joe's cell after Smee tells that Joe is one of them. Kavalier approaches the hybrids in the cell and reveals that at six years old, Kavalier built his own synthetic which he used to kill his abusive father. Wendy unlocks the cell, Nibs kills Kavalier's bodyguard, and Kavalier flees. Morrow attacks Kirsh in the lab. Kirsh is badly damaged but ultimately chokes Morrow unconscious. Smee and Slightly arrive in the lab and take both Kirsh and Morrow, while Nibs captures Dame. Atom lures Joe to Kavalier's room and unlocks the Ocellus. Wendy arrives to save Joe and fights Atom, who reveals himself as a synthetic, allowing Wendy to control Atom' motor functions through the network. The Ocellus escapes to the beach, where it possesses Arthur's corpse. With the help of the older Xenomorph, Wendy and Joe capture Kavalier and lock him in a cell with Kirsh, Atom, Dame, and Morrow. As Yutani and her team approach the island for invasion, Wendy, with Nibs, Curly, Slightly, Smee, Joe, and both Xenomorphs nearby, declares, "Now, we rule."

Production

Development

In February 2019, Bloody Disgusting reported that two Alien television series were in development, one animated – Alien: Isolation  –and one live-action, from Ridley Scott for the network FX on Hulu. [27] In December 2020, as part of Disney's Investor Day presentation, the latter television series project was officially announced to be in development for the network, with Noah Hawley as showrunner and Scott as executive producer, being set on Earth in the near future. [28]

On February 17, 2022, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the series is a prequel taking place before the events of Alien (1979). [29] Hawley himself confirmed that the series would be tied more into the style and mythology of the original 1979 film rather than the prequel films Prometheus (2012), and Alien: Covenant (2017). [30] In April 2023, chairman of FX Productions, John Landgraf, stated that the series was in active pre-production. [31] According to FX Entertainment president Gina Balian, the scale of the production of Alien: Earth was much bigger than that of the 2024 FX series Shōgun, whose budget has been reported as $250 million. [32]

Casting

In May 2023, Sydney Chandler was cast in the lead role, [33] followed by Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, and Adarsh Gourav in July. [8] Timothy Olyphant and David Rysdahl would be among those added to the cast in November 2023. [34] [5] [9] [35]

Filming

Principal photography was scheduled to begin in March 2022, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [36] Production on the series began on July 19, 2023, in Thailand. [8] Filming (without the American cast including Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, and David Rysdahl) was allowed to occur during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike due to the series' British cast working under an Equity contract. [36] [8] In late August, the production was halted due to the strike with most of the first episode completed. [12] Filming resumed in April 2024, [11] and wrapped in mid-July. [37] Dana Gonzales, Bella Gonzales and Colin Watkinson serve as cinematographers. [38] [39]

Music

The score for the series was composed by Jeff Russo. The soundtrack was released on Hollywood Records on August 12, 2025. [40] It will get a vinyl release in December 2025 on Mutant. [41] Russo has said he views his lack of education as an orchestral composer as a strength, leading him to use some unconventional instruments in his score, such as the desmophon. [42]

The episodes end on famous rock, metal and alternative rock songs because Hawley decided to highlight the cliffhanger endings by "mak[ing] an arena show, something that feels bigger than a small theater", featuring tracks by TV on the Radio, Black Sabbath, Tool, Metallica, Jane's Addiction, The Smashing Pumpkins, alt-j, Godsmack, Queens of the Stone Age and Pearl Jam. [43] [44] The soundtrack from the fifth episode "In Space, No One..." was released as a stand-alone album on September 2, 2025. [45]

Release

Promotion

Alien: Earth's promotion included immersive experiences such as The Wreckage, which was displayed at the San Diego Comic-Con and South by Southwest, and The Hunt, an activation staged in major cities worldwide. [46] [47] FX also partnered with several companies for promotional tie-ins, offering limited-time meals and beverages through food and hotel chains, as well as exclusive merchandise. [48] [46]

Release

The first episode of Alien: Earth was screened early at the series' panel at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 25. [49] The series premiered on FX and FX on Hulu with its first two episodes on August 12, followed by weekly releases of the remaining six episodes. [50] Internationally, Alien: Earth was made available to stream on Disney+. [51]

Reception

Viewership

The Walt Disney Company announced that the first episode of Alien: Earth garnered 9.2 million views worldwide within its first six days of streaming. This total was calculated by dividing the total hours watched by the episode's runtime, reflecting viewership on FX, Hulu, and Disney+. [52] [53] Analytics company Samba TV, which gathers viewership data from certain smart TVs and content providers, reported that Alien: Earth was watched by 1.8 million U.S. households during its live-plus-five-day period. Boomer households (ages 65–74) over-indexed in viewership by 8% compared to other demographic groups. [54] Nielsen Media Research, which records streaming viewership on some U.S. television screens, reported that Alien: Earth was watched for 464 million minutes between August 11–17, ranking as the seventh-most-streamed original series. [55] [56] In the following week, from August 18–24, it recorded 337 million minutes of watch time, making it the ninth-most-streamed original series that week. [57] [58] Alien: Earth was later streamed for 326 million minutes from August 25–31, making it the tenth-most-streamed original series of the week. [59] [60] Between September 1–7, it was streamed for 366 million minutes, ranking as the ninth most-streamed original series. [61] [62]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 189 critics' reviews are positive, with a critics consensus of: "Stylistically bold and scary as hell, Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth transplants the Xenomorph mythos into the television medium with its cinematic grandeur intact while staking out a unique identity of its own." [63] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 85 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". [64]

James Dyer of Empire gave the first season five out of five stars, praising its exploration of "the nature of consciousness, mortality, [and] humanity", concluding that "Hawley's series is a rare prequel that serves to enrich its source material, breathing new life into a once-tired franchise". [65] For RogerEbert.com , Brian Tallerico wrote, "Tony Gilroy's work on Andor feels like a logical comparison, and that's the quality tier on which this show resides as well. ... [Hawley] delivers an 8-episode first season that somehow marries the philosophical depth that fans of Prometheus admired with the intense action and bone-chilling imagery of James Cameron's Aliens ." [66] Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter described it as a "heady, sprawling, occasionally unwieldy but eventually thrilling epic about personhood, hubris, and of course, the primal pleasure of watching people get absolutely rocked by space monsters", noting its production design and "new beasts with their own deliciously horrible ways of killing". [67]

Not all reviews were positive. Dominic Baez of The Seattle Times criticized the show's pace and uneven story, writing, "Its examination of identity ... is less insightful than it wants to be, buckling under the weight of its own unanswered questions. And far too often it feels like two separate plots stitched together, a Frankenstein's monster of existentialism and aliens ripping people apart." [68] Nicholas Quah of Vulture called the feeling of the show "tedious" and wrote that it "struggles to resolve the tension between replicating the core Alien appeal and building a broader narrative suited for long-form television," at the same time questioning if Hawley is fit for the genre versus his previous neo-noir stylings. [69]

Sigourney Weaver, who portrayed Ellen Ripley in the original movies, praised the series, noting how it expands the franchise's scope and calling it "much more profound than just an Alien movie." [70]

Future

According to series creator Noah Hawley, work has not yet begun on a second season, but conversations are ongoing. He is ready to begin immediately if Disney decides to renew the show. Hawley expects a renewal decision to be made "soon" after the airing of the season finale on September 23, 2025, once its viewership can be evaluated. [71] In another interview, Hawley said that he hopes to have a decision "in the next couple of months." [72]
