Noah Hawley and FX’s Alien: Earth has released a new trailer giving a better look at the Xenomorph carnage set to hit Hulu on August 12.
Starring Timothy Olyphant (playing a synthetic humanoid named Kirsh), Sydney Chandler as Wendy, a “hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult,” Essie Davis (TheBabadook) and Alex Lawther (Black Mirror), Alien: Earth is set two years before Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien, with a full logline reading:
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (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 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, Wendy, 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.
Also starring in the sci-fi horror series are Babou Ceesay (Guerrilla), Jonathan Ajayi (Wonder Woman 1984), Erana James (Uproar), Lily Newmark (Sex Education), Diêm Camille (Washington Black), Adrian Edmondson (The Young Ones), David Rysdahl (Fargo), Samuel Blenkin (Black Mirror), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Foundation) and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral).
As previously reported, Alien: Earth features five new monsters causing bloody chaos alongside the Xenomorphs we all know and love. Today’s new trailer gives us a better look at them (that little freak with the tentacles is particularly interesting), along with more introduction to Chandler’s Wendy.
The 8-episode Alien: Earth will premiere with two episodes on Tuesday, August 12, at 8 p.m. ET on Hulu and the FX linear channel at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S., and via Disney+ internationally. New episodes will drop on Tuesdays on Hulu beginning at 8 p.m. ET and FX at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Check out the new trailer below:
