Dread Central on MSN‘Alien: Earth’ Review: New FX Series Is A Properly Disgusting And Poignant Take On The Alien Universe
Earth, created by Noah Hawley (who also helmed the Fargo and Legion series). The first two episodes of Alien: Earth, which aired on August 12, 2025, on FX/Hulu, are shining achievements of gnarly sci-fi horror telling as well as incredible pieces of world-building for a universe many of us have come to know and love over the decades.
Timothy Olyphant and Sydney Chandler star in the Noah Hawley-created series, which begins with a spaceship crash-landing on our planet and introducing an array of deadly extraterrestrial creatures.
For Hawley, overlaying Peter Pan onto Alien: Earth ‘s science fiction made sense because of the idea of trapping children’s minds in immortal bodies that were created, and ruled over, by a literal boy genius. Moreover, because Barrie’s work isn’t quite as anodyne and sweet as Disney’s animated film.
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.
