Earth Episode 3, Wendy and Hermit face a terrifying xenomorph attack while Boy Kavalier's sinister plan is revealed.

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.

With a new Earth-based mythology to build, and a 40-year history to maintain, Alien: Earth has immediately taken over the top spot on Hulu/Disney+ in more than 70 countries and become one of the streamer’s biggest ever original series.

Alien: Earth is the best new sci-fi show on TV right now, and fans of the series may have found their Andor equivalent.

While the far more conventional legacy sequel Alien: Romulus was the studio’s first at-bat with the franchise, Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth sees the now Disney-owned property coming to television in prestigious, bold, and daring fashion.
