Mark your calendars for Aug. 12 as Alien: Earth will debut with two episodes premiering on July at 8pm Eastern, and on FX for linear broadcast.
Alien is going through a bit of a resurgence at the moment. Alien: Romulus did well in theaters, and now we have Alien: Earth to look forward to.
The timeline of the series is set about 100 years in the future where five corporations – Dynamic, Lynch, Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, and Threshold – are all are all working toward technological advancements.
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’ (played by Sydney Chandler) marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
The cast includes Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El.
Alien: Earth will debut on FX and Hulu on Aug. 12.
