The upcoming Alien: Earth series delves into a new chapter of the iconic franchise, bringing the terrifying xenomorphs to Earth for the third time. The show explores the aftermath of a spacecraft crash, raising questions about the origins of the xenomorphs on our planet and the potential for a wider, hidden history of their presence.
The Alien franchise, which began in 1979 with Ridley Scott's eponymous original film, has since spawned three direct sequels, three prequels, and several spin-offs. The latest installment, Alien: Earth , is a television series that will focus on the aftermath of a spacecraft crash landing on Earth , bringing the xenomorphs onto the planet. This makes Alien: Earth the third installment of the Alien franchise to take place on Earth , following the events depicted in Aliens and Alien: Resurrection.
The series has a bit more heavy lifting as a prequel to do, in order to coordinate its story with the franchise's larger canon – namely the fact that the xenomorphs somehow manage to reach Earth undetected. The show will try to address that issue. In either case, the show being the rare example of the xenomorphs making it to Earth opens countless possibilities to either establish its story as the first recorded instance of the xenomorph's presence on Earth, or one of multiple incidents that have been heavily concealed from the public by the U.S. and other world governments.The cast of Alien: Earth includes Wendy (Sydney Chandler), an adult woman who carries a child's consciousness in her mind. Timothy Olyphant also appears in the series. Additionally, the show features a number of supporting characters, including Boy Kavalier, CJ, Dame Silvia, Tootles, and Slightly – played (respectively) by Samuel Blenkin, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Kit Young, and Adarsh Gourav. Furthermore, Weyland-Yutani will also have a representative present in the series, with Sandra Yi Sencindiver set to appear on the show as an unnamed high-ranking Weyland-Yutani official.While the show might be placing its story within very specific parameters with that approach, there are also a number of other ways in which the show could connect to the franchise's larger lore. It could play directly into the efforts of the Weyland-Yutani corporation to ensure the xenomorph unleashed upon the crew of the Nostromo is brought back to Earth (Weyland-Yuanti even coldly decreeing the “crew expendable” in this edict). The series could also reveal Weyland-Yutani concocting a plot to divert the returning Nostromo to LV-426 (as seen in the Nostromo's response to a distress call from LV-426 in Alien)
