Attached to select showings of Alien: Romulus on the big screen is a very short teaser trailer for “Alien: Earth,” the franchise’s first ever TV series that’s coming soon to FX.
Sydney Chandler stars in “Alien: Earth,” which recently wrapped production and is likely arriving in 2025. This short teaser more or less exists to announce the show’s official title, and it will probably be a while before we see any actual footage from the small screen project.
Check out the teaser below and expect more soon.
The series comes from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”). Of particular note, it’s set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place here on Earth, set roughly 70 years in the future.
FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”
The series is set 30 years before the events of the original Alien – Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, meanwhile, takes place 20 years *after* the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien.
The upcoming “Alien: Earth” deals with “the emergence of the story’s infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race between corporations to create new android life.”
Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”
Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Erana James (“Uproar”), Lily Newmark (“Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black”), Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace”), Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Foundation”), and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral) also star in the upcoming sci-fi/horror series.
