What is Alien: Earth About?

The show's logline states, “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat."

It further says: "As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.”

The show is set two years before the events of the iconic 1979 Alien film. In an interview with Deadline, Noah Fawley also offered more information about the show, saying, “whatever the host is informs what the final creature is.” The director also revealed that he was able to bring some of his thoughts to the design of the creature. 

As for the tone of the show, Fawley said, “There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth… that’s truly chilling.”
