Alien: Earth Could Answer a 46-Year-Old Franchise Question

In the storyline of “Alien: Earth“, events are set in motion when the Weyland-Yutani spaceship, USCSS Maginot, collides catastrophically with a significant city on Earth. To investigate and recover any valuable tech from their competitor, Prodigy Corporation sends Wendy and her team to the crash site. Instead of corporate secrets, they discover something much more perilous: the Maginot was carrying diverse alien species, including the infamous facehuggers. This discovery leads to an outbreak of xenomorphs on Earth, which occurs exactly two years before the events portrayed in the initial “Alien” film. The precise timing of the series enables it to finally answer a long-standing question within the franchise that has remained a mystery for 46 years.
