FX’s Alien Show Is Bringing The Xenomorph To Earth 32 Years After Alien 3’s Teaser Trailer
The Alien franchise, known for its deep space explorations, is taking a unique turn with its upcoming TV series, Alien: Earth. The show, set in the year 2120, two years before the events of the original Alien movie, will be the first television series in the franchise and mark the first time that the series has set its focus on Earth.
In 1992, fans were misled by the trailer for Alien 3, which suggested the movie would take place on Earth, only to find it set on a different planet. The disappointment and confusion caused by the misleading trailer led to widespread excitement about Alien: Earth, which will finally give fans a chance to see what Earth is like in the Alien universe.
The teaser trailer for Alien: Earth features a reflection of Earth on the head of a Xenomorph, with a voiceover stating, “In 2120, Mother Earth is expecting.” This suggests that at least one Xenomorph will be hunting humans on Earth, and the series will explore some of Weyland-Yutani’s competitors, setting up a new world for the franchise.
The Alien franchise has always focused on the evil Weyland-Yutani Corporation, so it will be interesting to learn about other companies that share the same ambitions. With a longer runtime than movies, Alien: Earth has the potential to develop the world of the franchise and stand out in the sci-fi series.
The Alien franchise is in a better place now than it was during the Alien 3 fiasco, with a sequel to Alien: Romulus already in the works. Despite its divisive reception, Alien 3 was a unique attempt to explore the Alien universe, and Alien: Earth is likely to succeed where it failed. With the franchise’s future looking bright, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Alien: Earth.
