Alien: Earth Teaser Reportedly Playing Ahead of Romulus Screenings

As a seasoned gamer and a die-hard Alien franchise fan who’s spent countless hours battling xenomorphs in various video games, the news about Alien: Earth has me absolutely thrilled! Growing up with the original films, I’ve always wondered what it would be like if the xenos invaded our own planet. Now, here comes Noah Hawley with a series that promises to bring just that – an Alien invasion on Earth!


As a devoted fan who has grown up with the terrifyingly fascinating Alien franchise, I couldn’t contain my excitement this weekend when I heard that Alien: Romulus was finally hitting theaters. However, it wasn’t just the new film that had me on the edge of my seat; rumors swirled about a tantalizing 10-second teaser for Noah Hawley’s upcoming FX series, Alien: Earth, shown before some screenings of the movie.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming series “Alien: Earth” is poised to unfold as a prequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 “Alien” film. Although specific details about the series are scarce at the moment, we do know that it promises to deviate from the conventional structure of Alien movies. The intriguing twist here is that “Alien: Earth” will be bringing the chilling threat of the xenomorph directly to our very own planet.

As a fan myself, I’d put it this way: “A two-hour film keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering if they’ll make it through, but for a series, that tension can become repetitive. Even if it’s packed with 60% top-notch action-horror TV content, there’s still the remaining 40% that leaves you pondering, ‘What’s the focus?'” Hawley shared his thoughts on this, reminiscing about discussions with Peter Rice, a former head of television at Fox and later Disney. He said, “The unique aspect of Alien is its confinement within spaceships or prisons. What if it wasn’t like that?”

As a tech enthusiast, I often ponder about our current state on Earth, technologically speaking. I wonder, where exactly are we in this grand journey of human progression? Science fiction frequently poses a thought-provoking question: Is humanity worthy of continued existence? This intriguing query is one that I find myself constantly delving into.

Hawley makes it evident that he aims to encapsulate the essence of the initial movies, while simultaneously offering fresh perspectives to keep viewers engaged.

“Hawley has completed filming and is now delving into the comprehensive post-production phase focusing on visual effects, as he stated earlier. This project is quite extensive, and he enjoys having ample time to work on it. The initial stage of any production, he believes, should not be rushed. He’s had a glimpse at four out of eight director’s cuts and has been actively involved in determining the cinematic direction. This aspect of creating a show is among his favorites.”

The cast of Earth includes Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, David Rysdahl, Samuel Blenkin, Adarsh Gourav, Babou Ceesay, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Di’m Camille and Adrian Edmondson.
