Alien: Earth is a prequel series set in the Alien universe, created by Noah Hawley and executive produced by Ridley Scott. It premieres August 12, 2025, on FX and Hulu in the U.

This project has been in the oven for several years, and the final result feels anything but rushed or weightless because Hawley and his collaborators had a grip on the TV format and the story they wanted to tell.

Early reviews are coming in for "Alien: Earth," and the consensus is that Noah Hawley's newest series is a hit. With a few detractors, critics are saying that "Alien: Earth" starts off slow, but once it gets going, there's no pulling yourself away. The series debuted with an 88% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes.
