2024 has been a great year for Alien fans, and next year is looking like it'll be much the same, with FX/Hulu's sci-fi horror series Alien: Earth officially set for a summer 2025 release.
From series creator Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth stars Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis and Alex Lawther, and is executive produced by original Alien director Ridley Scott.
“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 in the sci-fi horror series Alien: Earth.
As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival, and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.”
Today's new teaser also confirms that Alien: Earth actually takes place in the year 2120, contrary to previous reports, putting it just two years before the events of 1979's original Alien.
While an exact date isn't confirmed, the new teaser also promises that Alien: Earth will hit screens in summer 2025.
Speaking with Deadline previously, Hawley spoke on the topic most Alien fans are dying to know: what does an Earth-bound Xenomorph look like?
“There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes […] That is truly chilling to think of it moving here among us, and so I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see that, but you’ll see it — and you’re going to lock your door that night.
What was really fun for me was to really engage with the creature, bring some of my own thoughts to the design while not touching the silhouette, because that’s sacrosanct. But some of the elements as we know, whatever the host is, informs what the final creature is. I just wanted to play around a little bit to make it as scary as it should be.”
Watch the new teaser below and stay tuned for more Alien: Earth details as we get them.
