Ahead of hitting Hulu on August 12, Noah Hawley and FX's Alien: Earth gets a creepy new teaser today that poses a pretty existential question.
The 8-episode Alien: Earth will premiere with two episodes on August 12, at 8 p.m. ET on Hulu and the FX linear channel at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S., and via Disney+ internationally. New episodes will drop on Tuesdays on Hulu beginning at 8 p.m. ET and FX at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Starring in the show are Timothy Olyphant (playing a synthetic humanoid named Kirsh), Sydney Chandler as Wendy, a “hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult,” Essie Davis (The Babadook) and Alex Lawther (Black Mirror).
Produced by Alien helmer Ridley Scott, Alien: Earth is set two years before the 1979 sci-fi horror classic, follows the fallout of a mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-landing on Earth. Wendy (Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat – and this time, it's not just Xenomorphs.
Also starring in the sci-fi horror series are Babou Ceesay (Guerrilla), Jonathan Ajayi (Wonder Woman 1984), Erana James (Uproar), Lily Newmark (Sex Education), Diêm Camille (Washington Black), Adrian Edmondson (The Young Ones), David Rysdahl (Fargo), Samuel Blenkin (Black Mirror), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Foundation) and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral).
