Sigourney Weaver reveals her verdict on the Alien: Earth series after franchise move to TV

The initial live-action television series for the Alien franchise, titled Alien: Earth, ventured into unexplored grounds. However, the franchise’s iconic star, Sigourney Weaver, has endorsed this new endeavor with her approval.

The series takes place two years prior to the first Alien movie and will be streaming weekly on Disney Plus. It centers around a group of gravely ill children who have been given new life in adult robotic forms. They soon encounter a horrifying revelation that forces them to confront the most dangerous peril on the planet.

In conversation with Collider, Weaver – known for her role as Ellen Ripley in the 1979 film Alien and subsequent sequels – expressed her appreciation for the spin-off, stating, “What I find impressive about it is that it’s not solely focused on the Alien. Instead, it explores what kind of world we might inhabit a century from now.

She went on to say that it appears to be far beyond just a study of extraterrestrial life. It’s incredibly intriguing and seems to revolve around significant events happening to our world, what will become crucial, and the influence of greed.

The person stated, “It has shattered certain elements consistent in the Alien franchise all along. I find it exceptionally well-acted and well-executed, to be honest. Considering it’s a TV show, I must admit, I am genuinely amazed.

Sydney Chandler leads the cast of Alien: Earth as the show’s central character, Wendy.

In this production, Adarsh Gourav plays the role of Slightly, Kit Young takes on Tootles, Jonathan Ajayi portrays Smee, Erana James acts as Curly, and Lily Newmark performs as Nibs. They are joining her in the cast.

Starting this week, new episodes from the series Alien: Earth are set to premiere on Disney+ each Wednesday. If you’d like to catch the action, you can subscribe to Disney+ right away for just £4.99 per month or opt for an annual plan at £89.90.
