‘Alien: Earth' trailer: Noah Hawley's FX series drops biggest Predator crossover tease yet
The trailer outlines a familiar premise with new elements. A research vessel from Weyland-Yutani crashes into Prodigy City, one of several corporate-controlled zones on Earth. On board the ship: five unidentified life forms. As one character in the trailer says, 'This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe. Monsters… Invasive species. Predatory.'
That phrasing, along with some audible clicking sounds in the trailer, has prompted speculation among fans about a potential crossover with the Predator franchise. The two universes have intersected before, most notably in the Alien vs. Predator films, but Alien: Earth would be the first time the crossover is introduced within a television narrative.
The official synopsis describes a world dominated by five corporations — Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold — where humans coexist with synthetics and cyborgs. A major development occurs when the CEO of Prodigy unveils a new class of beings: hybrids, robots embedded with human consciousness. The story follows Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler), the first prototype hybrid, as she and others encounter the dangerous life forms brought to Earth by the crashed vessel.
The trailer includes brief glimpses of known creatures from the Alien series, including facehuggers and xenomorphs, but leaves the identities of the other species undisclosed. Also starring Alex Lawther and Timothy Olyphant, the show appears to combine corporate sci-fi themes with survival horror elements.
Alien: Earth will premiere on FX and stream on Disney+ starting August 12.
