The good news, depending on how you look at it, is when Disney bought Fox they inherited the entire Alien catalog, including the Predator “versus” series. Hulu and Disney+ subscribers have that at their fingertips and for those who like a weekend binge it couldn’t be more convenient. Furthermore, if you don’t already have Hulu, they offer first-time subscribers a 7-day free trial; just remember to set a reminder to cancel if you don’t want an auto-payment—we aren’t affiliated or sponsored by Hulu.
Furthermore, a subscription might be a good investment if you are anticipating the new Hulu series Alien: Earth that can’t seem to commit to a streaming date yet.
But what if you want to just rent or buy the series or chapters therein? There is an option for that too. It seems like an offbeat thing to do, but some people prefer it. Unfortunately Disney has the franchise on lockdown so it’s not going to appear on any free-with-ads platforms such as Tubi or Pluto TV.
We have put all the Alien films in chronological order below just in case you want to prepare yourself for the upcoming series.
