The final trailer for the highly anticipated Alien: Earth TV series is here and it looks great!
The show is written and directed by Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion) and is a prequel to the original 1979 Alien film.
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.

Alien: Earth is set in 2120, well after Prometheus which took place in 2093 and two years before the events of Alien.
The show also stars Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille and Moe Bar-El.
I do like Hawley’s other work so fingers crossed this is one of the good ones, writes Phil from Live for Films.
Alien: Earth crashes onto FX on Hulu and Disney+ on August 25th.

Did the new Alien: Earth synopsis just suggest it’s really an Aliens Vs Predator series?!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
