The new logline for the series reads:
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s Alien: Earth.
In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness).
The first hybrid prototype, named Wendy (Chandler), marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides with Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
Though the Alien franchise has been going on since the 70s, Earth will be different in that it actually brings the Xenomorph to our planet.
In the Alien universe, it’s always been kind of vague as to the status of Earth in the future, but we do know that space colonies are a thing, and Weyland-Yutani essentially owns everything. No doubt, Earth will be some kind of capitalist hellscape, and our old pall the Xenomorph is going to make things a little more horrific for some humans still staying on the planet.
After the success of Alien: Romulus it does look like the franchise is picking up steam once again. With the confirmation that Elle Fanning is playing a Weyland-Yutani android in the next Predator movie, fans are almost sure there’s going to be a new AVP reboot down the line.
Watch out for Alien: Earth when it premieres on Hulu on Aug. 12.
