Alien: Earth Cast and Creator Say the FX Series Is True to Its Roots and Talk Xenomorphs
56Alien is returning to the screen in a new format with Alien: Earth, an ambitious new series that expands the franchise into previously uncharted territory. Created by Noah Hawley, the series aims to combine the raw tension of Ridley Scott's original film with the sweeping, character-driven prowess that the episodic format can explore. In Alien: Earth, a space vessel crash-lands on Earth, forcing a young woman and a group of soldiers to make a discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's biggest threat. The series' all-star cast includes Timothy Olyphant, Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Babou Ceesay, and Samuel Blenkin.
In the Collider Interview Studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Steve Weintraub sat down with Hawley, executive producer David Zucker, and the cast of Alien: Earth for a conversation about the show’s vision, its practical effects, and what it’s like stepping into one of sci-fi’s most beloved and horrifying universes. The cast dives deep into their favorite episodes in the series, their reactions to Hawley’s scripts, the sequences that presented challenges to them as actors, and why fans should prepare for one of the most intense entries in the Alien saga yet.
Alien: Earth premieres on FX with two episodes on August 12.
