Attached to select showings of Alien: Romulus on the big screen was a short teaser trailer for “Alien: Earth,” and the teaser has been officially released online by FX this week.
Sydney Chandler stars in FX’s “Alien: Earth,” which is coming exclusively to Hulu in 2025. Watch the teaser trailer below and read on for the brand new official synopsis.
The series comes from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”). Of particular note, it’s set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place here on Earth, set roughly 70 years in the future.
FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”
In “Alien: Earth”…
“When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”
The series is set 30 years before the events of the original Alien – Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, meanwhile, takes place 20 years *after* the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien.
The upcoming “Alien: Earth” deals with “the emergence of the story’s infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race between corporations to create new android life.”
Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”
