Disney+ Hotstar has released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Alien Earth TV series, which will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar sometime in summer 2025. The series comes from creator Noah Hawley, best known for being the showrunner for TV shows such as Fargo and Legion.

The narrator says, “In 2120, Mother Earth is expecting.”

This confirms that the Alien Earth series will take place in 2120, just two (2) years before the events of the original 1979’s Alien. Alien Earth is also set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place on planet Earth

The synopsis reads:

“When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat. As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined.

With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival, and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.”

In Alien Earth, Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult”.

It will also star Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Erana James (“Uproar”), Lily Newmark (“Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black”), Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace”), Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Foundation”), and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral).

Fede Alvarez’s recent movie, Alien Romulus, takes place 20 years after the events of 1979’s Alien.
