The series by creator Noah Hawley is described as a spin-off to the original Ridley Scott-directed film, " Alien ," from 1979. The film follows a space crew aboard the starship, Nostromo, who are on their journey back home when they receive a distress call from an alien vessel.

A lien filmmaker Ridley Scott had a simple five-word reaction to seeing the set of the new FX series inspired by his 1979 masterpiece. Created by Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley, the eight-part series serves as a prequel to the original film set in a dark vision of the future dominated by corporations.

Even though fans had wait through an extended hyper-sleep to finally reach Alien: Earth ’s highly anticipated premiere on FX and Hulu, it arrived with all of the expected intergalactic pomp, grandeur and acclaim that I’d hoped for.

Proof of the franchise's popularity is the brand new Alien: Earth series, which is now streaming on Disney+ (or Hulu in the USA), which Scott chaired as Executive Producer, rather than Director.

Hulu’s latest sci-fi thriller, which has earned an impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is taking over streaming charts. The streamer premiered the first two episodes of Alien: Earth this week, and the show has soared to the top spot on both Hulu in America and Disney+ globally.

Alien: Earth delivers everything you'd want from a series with "Alien" in the title: The iconic Xenomorphs hunting down hapless humans; gratuitous body horror; and androids who you can never fully trust.

With Alien: Earth launching today, FX has released a new trailer fans of the original Alien movie are sure to enjoy. FX has remade the original Alien movie trailer with material from Alien: Earth, complete with similar shots, the same sounds, and re-jigged effects.

In adapting "Alien" for television, writer/director Noah Hawley is looking to score another hit along the lines of his "Fargo" transformation.

Set in 2120, it hinges on a batch of alien and various mutating specimens who crash-land on Earth in a research vessel that’s owned by one of five corporations that now rule during this Corporate Era — a chillingly plausible schematic.

Earth packs plenty of scares as it pays homage to the many frightening moments in Ridley Scott's original Alien films.

The long-running franchise was set to meet an early end with this terrifying idea from Ridley Scott, as revealed by Noah Hawley.
