Last summer, we were all treated to a fantastic cosmic horror adventure when Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus appeared in cinemas in August. While we won’t be getting a big theatrical Alien film this year, we do have a promising show to look ahead towards, and like Romulus, this one will be targeting an August premiere too.
FX has just revealed that Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth will be premiering on Hulu/Disney+ this August, specifically on August 12 (August 13 for us in the UK and Europe). As per Variety, we can expect a two-episode premiere that will then continue and offer up a new episode each week for six weeks until the eight-episode season runs its course.
As for what Alien: Earth will be about, the official synopsis adds the following: “When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”
