According to the show's synopsis, The official series logline 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 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 marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.'

The first season releases on August 12, though FX boss John Landgraf told Variety he's hopeful the series will return for a second installment. 'We're pretty bullish on 'Alien: Earth' and we've told him that assuming, as we hope, 'Alien: Earth' is a returning television series,' he said.

‘Alien: Earth' trailer: Noah Hawley's FX series drops biggest Predator crossover tease yet
FX has released the first trailer for Alien: Earth, the upcoming science fiction prequel series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley. The show is set in the year 2120 and brings the Alien franchise to Earth for the first time in a major storyline. 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.

Everything to know about ‘Alien: Earth' as trailer drops: Timeline, cast, premiere date
An alien invasion is about to hit FX on Hulu. Alien: Earth is a sci-fi thriller that's set two years before the events of the influential first Alien film. Created by Noah Hawley (Fargo), the TV project focuses on the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race to create new android life. (And yes, there will be Xenomorphs and Facehuggers.) This marks the first major television series based on the franchise, which already consists of seven main movies and two crossovers with Predator. Read on for everything to know about Alien: Earth. More from GoldDerby Jay Duplass on exposing his 'dad bod' and playing a 'soft villain' in 'Dying for Sex': 'Easily one of my biggest acting challenges' 5 slots isn't enough: More limited series deserve a chance to compete with 'Adolescence' Laugh tracks: The state of the 2025 Emmy comedy race Mark your calendars! Alien: Earth will debut with two episodes on Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FX and Hulu, and will air every subsequent Tuesday until the Sept. 23 finale. The network is hoping this will be its next Shōgun, a big budget epic that will sweep upcoming awards shows and drive viewership numbers. FX Sydney Chandler leads the ensemble as Wendy, an adult woman with a child's consciousness. Timothy Olyphant plays Kirsh, a synthetic who serves as Wendy's mentor. Alex Lawther is a soldier named CJ "Hermit." Samuel Blenkin portrays Boy Kavalier, a young CEO who's often seen barefoot. The sprawling cast also includes Babou Ceesay, Adrian Edmondson, David Rysdahl, Essie Davis, Lily Newmark, Erana James, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Kit Young, Diêm Camille, Moe Bar-El, and Sandra Yi Sencindiver. Alien: Earth is a prequel to the 1979 Alien movie, directed by Ridley Scott and conceived by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. That original story took place in 2122 aboard the commercial spaceship Nostromo, which places Alien: Earth in the year 2120. In other words, Sigourney Weaver's iconic character Ripley is still alive and well within the world of Alien: Earth. But whether she'll pop up in the new project remains to be seen. FX From FX: "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 marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined." Noah Hawley is the showrunner, executive producer, writer, and director for Alien: Earth. Additional executive producers are Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Joseph Iberti, Dana Gonzales, and Clayton Krueger. Hawley, Gonzales, and Ugla Hauksdóttir tag-teamed on directing the eight episodes, while Hawley wrote or cowrote all of them with Bob DeLaurentis, Bobak Esfarjani, Lisa Long, Maria Melnik, and Migizi Pensoneau. Jeff Russo is the music composer, and cinematography duties are split between Dana Gonzales, Bella Gonzales, and Colin Watkinson. On June 5, FX released a two-minute trailer for Alien: Earth that begins with a 10-second countdown featuring frightening and atmospheric images. (Watch the video above.) A prompt informs viewers that the setting is "Neverland Research Island, Earth, 2120," as we see Wendy's child consciousness being implanted into a woman's body. Later, when a spacecraft crashes into Prodigy City, it's all hands on deck to uncover who, or what, might be on board. 20th Century Fox While the Academy Awards are notorious for ignoring sci-fi and fantasy films, voters have expressed a special adoration for the franchise that gave the world slimy creatures like Xenomorphs and Facehuggers. The first Alien won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and was also nominated for Best Art Direction. The sequel, aptly titled Aliens (1986), won a pair of Oscars for Best Visual Effects and Best Film Editing, and received bids for Best Actress (Weaver), Best Art Direction, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Music. Alien 3 (1992) then scored a single nom for Best Visual Effects. The fourth installment, Alien Resurrection (1997), was skunked, while the fifth edition, Prometheus (2012), nabbed a Best Visual Effects citation. Following that, Alien: Covenant (2017) was ignored, and Alien: Romulus (2024) returned to the Best Visual Effects lineup. The two crossover films, Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), were both snubbed.

Everything We Know About Netflix's Season 4 of 'Ginny & Georgia'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Season 3 of "Ginny & Georgia" is here, and if you're loving it, there is good news: Season 4 of the hit series was confirmed before Season 3 was streaming. Read More: Netflix's 'Ginny & Georgia' S3 Airs on June 5—Here's Everything to Remember In fact, back in February, the official "Ginny & Georgia" Instagram page confirmed that a Season 4 writer's room was already at work. But when will we get to watch the fourth season, and who will be returning to the series? Here's everything we know about Season 4 of "Ginny & Georgia". When Will Season 4 of 'Ginny & Georgia' Arrive? It's far too soon to know exactly when we can expect to see Season 4 of "Ginny & Georgia", but based on the release dates of all the other seasons, we can make a pretty good guess. "Ginny & Georgia" premiered in 2021, and its second season debuted in 2023. Season 3 just premiered in June 2025. So far, there's been a two-year gap between each season. If there's a similar wait for Season 4, then we can expect it to arrive sometime in the middle of 2027. Who Will be in Season 4 of 'Ginny and Georgia'? We can almost certainly expect Brianne Howey to return as Georgia, and Antonia Gentry to reprise her role as Ginny. Among others, we would expect to see Diesel La Torraca as Austin, Scott Porter as Paul, Felix Mallard as Marcus, Sara Waisglass as Max, Jennifer Robertson as Ellen, Raymond Ablack as Joe, and Nathan Mitchell as Zion. What Will Season 4 of 'Ginny & Georgia' be About? At this point, we can only speculate about the story of "Ginny & Georgia" Season 4, but the way Season 3 ends, it seems likely that a big part of Season 4 could have to do with Georgia getting pregnant. It isn't confirmed that Georgia is pregnant, but we get a pretty big hint. Season 3 ends with Ginny and Georgia in their kitchen, with the latter going to get some milk. This prompts Ginny to ask, "Mom, didn't you say you drink milk when you're pregnant?" They give each other surprised looks, and then the season ends. Again, it's far from a confirmation that Georgia is pregnant, but it would be a pretty strange way to end the season if she isn't.
