WEBDESK: The world of science fiction is about to get bigger with Alien Earth, the upcoming TV series from FX. Set to premiere on August 12, 2025 in the U.S. and August 13 internationally, Alien Earth will stream on Hulu and Disney+. This marks the first time that deadly Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise will officially appear on Earth within the story’s timeline.
Created by Noah Hawley, the mind behind Fargo, the series promises a mix of horror, science fiction, and action.

Things take a dark turn when a mysterious spaceship crashes, bringing dangerous alien creatures to Earth.
The series follows Wendy, a young girl whose mind is transferred into a synthetic body. She teams up with her mentor Kirsh, played by Timothy Olyphant, to uncover the truth behind the spaceship and stop a growing alien threat. As they investigate, they discover a deadly cargo of alien species, including the terrifying Xenomorphs.
