In space, no one can hear you scream, but on Earth, the shouts for help will echo whenAlien: Eartharrives on FX on Hulu in 2025. Now that Labor Day has come to a close, and we officially head bravely into the fall and winter, the new year is just around the corner, and with it is our first peek atNoah Hawley’s (Fargo) latest project. Some of those who caughtAlien: Romulusin cinemas were lucky enough to see the teaser for what will be the firstAlien-centered TV series, but for the rest of us, today’s the day. Along with the sneak peek, the team also revealed what the show’s plot will entail, which you may read about below.
In the teaser, the sun can be seen rising over our planet, but it’s quickly revealed that we aren’t looking directly at Earth at all. Instead, it’s the reflection of Earth on the shiny black head of a Xenomorph which promptly opens its mouth wide and shows off its chompers for the camera before the first teaser cuts out. For those who have tuned into FX or Hulu for any ofRyan Murphy’s horror series, the promo is very much givinga similar type of energy.
