Earth just got a little more crowded thanks to the arrival of a new teaser forAlien: Earth. Putting their best foot forward to celebrateAlienday, FX has unveiled the latest peek at the upcoming series which is set to crash onto our TV screens this summer. If you thought one Xenomorph could do some damage, just wait and see how the planet fares after five monsters from the furthest reaches of space go completely ham. StarringSugar’sSydney Chandler, the series continues the tradition of following a female protagonist and pitting her against humanity’s deadliest adversary.
Nothing good can come from the cargo showcased in the latestAlien: Earthspot. Viewers are taken aroundthe cargo hold of a doomed vessel, where we see the silhouettes of creepy-crawly critters in their illuminated cages. Meanwhile, a voiceover can be heard explaining that the ship contains “five different lifeforms from the darkest corners of the universe — each one a unique, deadly species.” While the trapped creatures are making plenty of noise from inside their pens, the camera cuts to the corner of the room where aXenomorphlaunches itself full steam ahead at the camera before the sequence cuts out.
Alien: Earthcelebrates two big steps forward for the beloved franchise, marking the first time the characters have made it onto television screens in live-action form as well as the only time that the fight has been brought onto our home turf (Earth). WithNoah Hawleyserving as the writer, director, and creator, we’d expect nothing but the most groundbreaking reimagining of the beloved IP to come from the creative behind FX’s anthology seriesFargoand the gone-too-soon Marvel seriesLegion.
