The trailer not only showcases a new Xenomorph design but also highlights the striking similarity in aesthetics to Ridley Scott's seminal 1979 horror film, "Alien." Set within a control room reminiscent of the Nostromo's MU/TH/UR, the trailer rekindles the tension and horror of the original as a desperate crew member pleads for help, only to be ignored by Morrow, portrayed by Babou Ceesay. Morrow coldly reports the escape of the "specimens," declares the crew dead, and sets the ship on a collision course with Earth. The trailer also teases the arrival of six soldiers, likely heading towards the crash site, hinting at the grim fate awaiting them.
The trailer raises numerous questions: Will Morrow survive? What drives his actions? Are there other survivors among the crew, and has anyone fallen victim to the Xenomorph's deadly embrace? How will the soldiers meet their end?
"Alien: Earth" sets up its premise with a mysterious spacecraft crashing on Earth, where a young woman, played by Sydney Chandler, and a group of tactical soldiers make a harrowing discovery, confronting Earth's greatest threat head-on.
Set in the year 2120, "Alien: Earth" slots into the broader Alien timeline, occurring after "Prometheus" and just before the events of "Alien." This placement has sparked speculation among fans about potential connections to the Nostromo's departure from Earth or the origins of Weyland-Yutani's interest in the Xenomorphs. For context, the recently released "Alien: Romulus" serves as an interquel between "Alien" and "Aliens."
In January of the previous year, showrunner Noah Hawley discussed his approach to "Alien: Earth," opting to distance the series from the backstory established in "Prometheus." Hawley, who consulted with Ridley Scott on various aspects of the Alien universe, chose to embrace the "retro-futurism" of the original films, steering clear of the bioweapon narrative to focus on the lore that fans cherish.
"Alien: Earth" is slated to premiere on Hulu in the summer of 2025, with "Alien: Romulus 2" also in development, promising more thrilling additions to the iconic franchise.
