Ridley Scott’s “Alien” franchise has landed on TV with “Alien: Earth,” a prequel series set two years before the original space horror movie. It follows a brand new cast full of humans, synths, Xenomorphs and more as a group of soldiers investigate a crashed ship on Earth and discover some terrifying secrets inside.

When we sat down with Alien: Earth creator and showrunner Noah Hawley, he got the memo about the one-word answer. Not only that, but the Fargo creator also expanded on that sentiment to give us a brilliant tease for what’s to come in the remaining six episodes:

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.

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.

It’s not every day that a beloved sci-fi franchise gets a long-awaited TV series, but today is one of those days. The first two episodes of Alien: Earth are now on Hulu and FX, and fans can finally see what happens when the man behind Fargo teams up with Ridley Scott to make an Alien show.

Alien: Earth has captivated both critics and fans by revealing a previously unheard-of new vulnerability in the Xenomorph.

The first television series within one of the most beloved horror/sci-fi franchises of all time is generating impressive streaming numbers.

It's not hyperbole to say that this is one of Hulu's biggest weeks of the year. The streamer has been promoting Alien: Earth all year, and that seems to have paid off with a No. 1 ranking on Hulu's chart.
