FX has shared an exclusive 4-minute sneak peek into the making of Alien: Earth, giving viewers a closer insight into the show’s characters, environment, and overall mood. The series will debut on August 12 across FX, Hulu, and Disney+ streaming platforms.
Watch below.
Plot Expands: Xenomorphs Crash Into Corporate Earth
Noah Hawley characterizes Alien: Earth as a narrative unfolding during the Corporate Age, when a Weyland-Yutani spaceship carrying an extraterrestrial species plummets onto land belonging to Prodigy Corporation – specifically, under the control of billionaire Boy Cavalier. Cavalier is engaged in pioneering work on blending human and synthetic minds, leading to the creation of a transhuman hybrid named Wendy.
In the opening of the story, 12-year-old Wendy finds herself transferred into an adult synthetic body. She is initially detached from her loved ones and subjected to a reality governed by a corporation. However, the emergence of extraterrestrial beings and the struggle for existence soon challenges her understanding of this world.
What the Cast and Crew Say
Hawley articulates the central dilemma: if Xenomorphs manage to infiltrate Earth, the danger escalates significantly. These creatures, skillfully combining elements of science fiction and horror, test characters to their breaking points. “It’s not just about extraterrestrial life,” he notes, “it’s about exploring what it signifies to be human when we have the ability to develop artificial intelligence and intertwine it with our own consciousness.
- Timothy Olyphant plays Kirsh, a soldier caught in the fallout.
- Alex Lawther‘s character joins the rescue mission that turns into a survival test.
- Samuel Blenkin calls it a “thrill ride” with suspense-driven horror.
- David Rysdahl teases nightmare-fueled alien designs and intense storytelling.
Bigger Themes at Play
The short video highlights the fact that Alien: Earth transcends being just a tale of survival; instead, it delves deep into character analysis. The series delves into themes like identity, technology, and humanity’s ethical lapses. Intriguingly, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and corporate greed are portrayed alongside the more traditional elements such as facehuggers and xenomorphs.
As Lawther puts it, “If the alien is over here, what does it mean to be human anymore?”
