FX's Alien: Earth, the Alien franchise's first television series, has already been renewed for a second season after earning strong critical acclaim, including a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Created by Noah Hawley with Ridley Scott as executive producer, the show is set two years before the original 1979 film and explores what happens when a Xenomorph reaches Earth, tying back into the franchise's recurring themes of corporate power and synthetic humans.

The series follows the crash of the Weyland-Yutani vessel USCSS Maginot into the city of New Siam, triggering a scramble among five rival mega-corporations to claim its cargo, including several alien specimens. Prodigy founder Boy Kavalier sends his "Lost Boys" — a team of "hybrids" with human consciousness in synthetic bodies, led by Sydney Chandler's character Wendy — to secure the assets, with the story centring on the clash between humanity and technology as the hybrids begin asserting greater autonomy.
