‘Alien: Earth’ Could, Eventually, Cross Over With the Movies

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-07 10:30:21

Here’s what we already know about Noah Hawley’s upcoming series, Alien: Earth. It’s set two years before the events of Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece, Alien.

Which all sounds awesome but, also, tangential to the stories we know a
