The Alien franchise is officially making its return to TV, and the first clip from Alien: Earth is already bringing the fear. Shared by FX, the teaser wastes no time plunging viewers back into the nightmarish world of the xenomorphs.
In the tense scene, a security team investigates a dark, smoke-filled corridor—only to encounter a horrifyingly agile xenomorph. The alien’s ambush is brutal and quick, ending with a gruesome kill and a chilling silence. The brief footage is dripping with atmosphere, echoing the claustrophobic dread of Ridley Scott’s original 1979 film.
Alien: Earth is helmed by Fargo and Legion creator Noah Hawley and will serve as a prequel to the events of Alien. Set on Earth in the not-so-distant future, the series is said to explore what happens when the horrors of the xenomorph aren’t confined to deep space.
With its grounded setting and character-driven focus, Hawley’s take on the iconic sci-fi horror franchise promises to be unlike anything fans have seen before—and if this first clip is any indication, Alien: Earth is shaping up to be a must-watch for horror and sci-fi lovers alike.
The series is set to premiere on FX on Hulu this Summer.
