First FX's Alien: Earth Trailer Drops 5 Alien Species & More

The first full trailer for FX's highly anticipated series Alien: Earth has been released, showcasing the deep space horror adventure set to debut on August 12, 2025. The plot follows a research vessel crash-landing on Earth, leading protagonist Wendy and tactical soldiers to make a shocking discovery of both familiar xenomorphs and new alien species. Fans are buzzing with speculation regarding the potential crossover with the Predator franchise, as hints of iconic sounds and references surface throughout the trailer. The new show promises to explore the enigmatic origins of aliens and their connections to the established Alien lore, all within a corporate-dominated Earth of 2120.

FX's Alien: Earth premieres its first two episodes on August 12, 2025, at 8 PM ET on Hulu, FX, and Disney+.

Alien: Earth is set in a rich and complex universe that expands upon the themes introduced in previous films. This series takes place after the events of Prometheus and just before the original Alien film. Fans are particularly excited because it diverges from the bioweapon narrative introduced in the prequels, returning to the roots of the classic Alien horror. The new showrunner, Noah Hawley, aims to capture the retro-futurism vibe that characterized the original films, promising an exciting new chapter for this iconic franchise.
