Alien: Earth on Hulu – New Teaser Reveals Five Terrifying Monsters Coming Close!

Get ready for an invasion of epic proportions as Hulu’s Alien: Earth series introduces not one, but five massive alien species to our screens. Originally announced over four years ago, the series, inspired by the legendary Alien movie franchise, is set to premiere on Hulu this summer. A recent teaser gives us a peek inside a spacecraft’s cargo section, revealing five enclosures each holding a different type of alien. One container seems to contain a classic xenomorph, reminiscent of the creatures from the original Alien films.

During the NFL AFC Championship game on CBS in late January, a teaser was aired showing the perspective of a xenomorph navigating through a spacecraft heading towards Earth. Intrigued about Alien: Earth and want to know more? Watch the teaser and keep reading for a breakdown of what to expect from this exciting series.

The series was announced at the Disney Investor Day in December 2020 and is the brainchild of Noah Hawley, known for his work on FX’s Fargo and Legion, in collaboration with the legendary director Ridley Scott, who helmed the original Alien film. Described as the first Alien story set on Earth, the series is officially titled Alien: Earth and is set in the not-too-distant future.

Set nearly a century ahead of the original Alien film, the events of Alien: Earth take place in 2120. This timeline precedes Sigourney Weaver’s iconic portrayal by thirty years and showcases a world where mega-corporations like Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold hold significant power. Breakthroughs in technology promise an optimistic future for Earth, as per a newly released synopsis.

Unlike its predecessors set in space, Alien: Earth delves into the rise of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation on Earth and the competition between corporations to develop advanced android life forms. The official synopsis teases a thrilling plot centered around a crash-landed spaceship, a young woman, a team of tactical soldiers, and a menacing alien threat that puts Earth’s fate at stake.

This series is expected to harken back to the suspenseful tone of the first two Alien films, emphasizing the xenomorph as a perfectly evolved life form over a bioweapon as seen in the prequels. Fans of the original movies will find much to love in this new take on the Alien universe.

Starring Sydney Chandler as Wendy and Timothy Olyphant rumored to play Kirsh, alongside a talented ensemble cast, Alien: Earth promises to be a gripping addition to the Alien franchise. While Ellen Ripley, the beloved character from the original films, is not part of this storyline, the series is set to be an ongoing project rather than a standalone miniseries.

Filming for Alien: Earth took place in Thailand from July 2023 to July 2024, with a Summer 2025 release date exclusively on Hulu. As post-production wraps up, fans can anticipate a visually stunning and captivating viewing experience.
