The TV series Alien: Earth takes place two years before the events of Alien. The story focuses on a research vessel that crash-lands on Earth, unleashing a deadly Xenomorph. A group of hybrids, humans with synthetic bodies, led by Wendy, investigate the crash. As they navigate their new reality, they discover human exploitation and manipulation.
Alien: Earth’s success lies in its character development and horror elements. The show delves into the struggles of these hybrid characters, who are unprepared for dealing with a Xenomorph and exploitative humans. In the Season 1 finale “The Real Monsters”, Wendy confronts her tormentor and develops unique abilities.
Alien: Earth reinvigorated the Alien franchise by proving its continued appeal. The show has contributed to the recent success of Alien: Romulus and Predator: Badlands, which featured similar themes. With high ratings and critical acclaim, Alien: Earth is available to stream on Hulu and Disney+.
