13 august 2025 в 19:37
Alien: Earth takes us back to the events before the original 1979 horror film «Alien», starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, and Veronica Cartwright. With a new cast, timeline, and plot, new fans are wondering when they can watch new episodes of the FX series.
As television viewers and movie buffs already know, the era of prequels and sequels has become the norm, and some are not surprised that «Alien: Earth» offers a look into the background of «Alien» — one of the most successful science fiction film franchises in Hollywood history.
Below, Hollywood Life provides answers to when to expect the release of each episode of «Alien: Earth», as well as the fate of the show.
The series «Alien: Earth» takes place two years before the events of the original film «Alien» in 1979 — in the year 2120. The official synopsis of «Alien: Earth» reads: «When a mysterious spacecraft crashes on Earth, a young woman and a group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face to face with the planet’s greatest threat».
As mentioned, «Alien: Earth» is set in 2120, two years before the events of «Alien».
Episodes of «Alien: Earth» air on FX and FX on Hulu, as well as on Disney+ internationally. The show premiered on August 12, 2025.
Future episodes of «Alien: Earth» will air on Hulu at 8:00 pm Eastern Time / 5:00 pm Pacific Time on Tuesdays.
Sydney Chandler leads the cast of «Alien: Earth» along with co-stars Alex Loter, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Risdale, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gurav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Mo Bar-El.
Since «Alien: Earth» is a prequel, some old fans criticize FX for following the cinematic trend. But cast member Timothy defended the show during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter before the premiere of the first season.
«Every time I revisit characters or work with the same people again, I always find satisfaction. I highly recommend it», - said the star of «Gone in 60 Seconds», adding: «And I have no problem with people remaking or rebooting things. I mean, everyone goes to Broadway to see the same couple of plays every few years. It’s such a silly, superficial argument to say that Hollywood has no new ideas just because they reboot things».
At the time of publication, FX has not yet announced a second season of «Alien: Earth». Given the positive reviews of the show, it is likely that a second season is already planned
