Alien: Earth involves Cyborgs, Synthetics & Hybrids on the hunt for immortality!

It's clear now, Prometheus laid the foundation for Alien: Earth's plot direction! Peter Weyland's oobsession with attaining immortality and positioning Humanity on the same level as their creators has become the obsession of all corporate interests in Alien: Earth! The series which airs August 12th this summer, takes place 30 years after the events of Ridley Scott's first Alien prequel - and it appears that in that time, rival corporations took a play out of Weyland's book.

A newly revised plot synopsis for Alien: Earth reveals the series will explore 5 corporations, each investigating their own technologies involving Cyborgs and Synthetics in an attempt to attain immortality and it's the Prodigy Corporation which introduces the first ever Human Hybrid, check it out:

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 in FX’s Alien: Earth.

In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness).

The first hybrid prototype, named Wendy (Chandler), marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides with Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

So it appears Weyland-Yutani's research vessel packed with experimental Alien life forms crashes on Prodigy's doorstep and we'll get to see how Hybrid Humans deal with the outbreak. Certainly a fascinating concept!

The first 2 episodes for Alien: Earth will drop simultaneously on August 12th, with new episodes releasing every Tuesday night after that! You can check the full 8-episode release schedule here.

Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth TV series arrives this summer on Disney+ / Hulu and FX Networks! The first 2 episodes will begin streaming August 12th, 2025 and the show will span 8 hour-long episodes! You can find a list of the episodes titles and their release dates here.

Looks incredible, I can't wait. Timothy's looking a lot like Roy Batty which is a nice nod to Blade Runner, also we finally get to see Yutani and she looks amazing! (She kinda has that Rachael hair so another nod to Blade Runner).

I thought Prometheus wasn't going to be part of the TV series's lore? Hawley make up your freaking mind!

I'm not convinced.

Also I'm afraid of the premise of this series. As far as I understand it, a ship crashes on earth - a ship that carries an Alien or an Alien-Derivative. The Search-and-Rescue-Team, that was sent to the crashsite, discovers the Alien and then has to fight for its survival. In the end the Crew will surely win and the Alien-threat will be banished.

This diminishes the Alien yet again. The Alien is supposed to be the personification of absolute evil and a perfect organism - designed to destroy. As soon as no more than one single Alien touches the surface of a planet, that should be game over for the planet. Yet here we go again - humans find and destroy it. The Alien seems not to be a threat after all... In AVP 2 (not that it's canon) at least they had to drop a nuke on the city! Surely that won't be necessary in Alien: Earth, since they can handle the Alien more easily. In one concept art I saw a human fighting an Alien with a sword - WITH A SWORD!

I honestly think the Xeno won't feature much in the series and it will be more of a Westworld type story, there's too much focus on the Androids/Synths for it not to be the case. The whole Neverland theme is also interesting, quite a few of the Hybrids have names from that story/movie (Wendy, Tootles).

I personally am intrigued because I love the android lore in this universe but i'm betting people that prefer the Xeno will be disappointed. Ridley Scott always said he wanted to make a 3rd movie after Prometheus and Covenant that explored the androids more than the Xenos and I think this will be it (He is listed as the executive producer on the project, so he is involved to some extent).

This also seems to follow some of the themes and storylines that were covered in the comics.

I've seen Fargo and Legion and Noah Hawley is a genius imo, so I have faith in his vision for the series.

@jdvyne, I hear you and I agree to a degree - I also hope the Xenomorph isn't diminished to an easily defeat-able "bug" yet again. It should be the epitome of terror but in the show I believe the Xenomorph specimen on board the USCSS Maginot is an adult form, not sure if any eggs or Facehuggers are going to be part of the containment breach. If that's the case then these Hybrids and Synths will only have to track and kill a single Xenomorph - which is doable and mimics that of the Nostromo plot. If there are eggs / Huggers however then yes, I don't think the Alien infestation should be eradicated so easily.

@Svanya, I concur, I loved Westworld and the Synthetic story arcs have been vastly more captivating than the Human ones in pretty much every Alien film. While I expect the Alien won't get as much screentime as the Hybrids / Synthetics, I do hope they don't wait to crank up the heat for the final 2 episodes - leaving us on a cliffhanger to Season 2. So many series partake in that kind of setup and it's frustrating. Slow burn for the first 6 episodes and then bombard us with the content we've been craving for the last 2 episodes. Given FX have already ordered a Season 2 before Season 1 has even released makes me nervous this show may play that game too.
