Apr 26, 2025
To celebrate Alien Day, FX has released a new teaser trailer for writer/director/showrunner Noah Hawley’s upcoming series, “Alien: Earth.”
Set on Earth, obviously, and the series centers on the Weylan Corporation and how they are genuinely the real monsters of this ongoing creature saga. “Alien: Earth” is set in 2120 when five corporations—Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold— wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow.

What seems unique about this series is, rather than just focusing on the xenomorph, “Alien: Earth” sounds like it will be introducing multiple aliens into the show according to the new teaser.
Led by Sydney Chandler (Kyle Chandler’s daughter), the series showcases an expansive international cast which 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.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s highly anticipated TV series Alien: Earth from creator Noah Hawley.
