The Latest ‘Alien: Earth’ Trailer Adds Even More Alien Monsters

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-21 00:30:25

In the Alien movies, one killer species is more than enough for humanity to deal with. Actually, it’s almost always too much. Most everyone usually dies. But, in Alien: Earth, which comes to FX on August 12, it’s not just that iconic xenomorph the characters will have to deal with. Four other killer monsters have crash-landed on our planet too. Let the fun begin. From the mind of Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth takes a whole new look at the franchise made famous by the likes of Ridley Scott and James

Netflix’s first original series, House of Cards, launched in 2013, and television was never the same.
