FX's 'Alien: Earth' Is Everything 'Alien' Fans Could Want: Review
Set in 2120, the series explores corporate dominance and human-synthetic hybrid experiments amid a crashed alien spacecraft, with five companies controlling Earth’s territories, FX said.
- In a corporate-run 2120 Earth, Alien: Earth premiered on Disney+ on August 12, 2025, featuring the crash of a Weyland-Yutani vessel into Prodigy territory.
- Replacing national governments, these megacorporations including Weyland-Yutani and Prodigy have seized power, with Boy Kavalier's Prodigy conducting human consciousness transfers into synthetic bodies.
- Within Prodigy’s research facility, Boy Kavalier downloads children’s minds into adult synthetic bodies, with Wendy as the first hybrid prototype, rapidly evolving intelligence.
- The Xenomorph emerging from the crash wreckage, causing grisly fatalities among humans and synths, unleashes horror on Earth.
- With critical acclaim already building, the FX series Alien: Earth covers eight episodes and will run weekly this year.
