What We Know About the Show
Hulu is maintaining a level of secrecy about the plot that rivals Weyland-Yutani’s corporate confidentiality, but it’s been suggested that Alien: Earth will bring the Xenomorph threat to our home planet. This is a first for the main Alien storyline, as previous installments kept the terror in the vastness of space or on distant colonies.
Newsweek highlights that early teasers point to a corporate research mission that has gone horribly wrong (not surprising at all) and a frantic fight for survival in a major city on Earth. Think of it as District 9 meets Alien.
Fan Theories Already Taking Off
There is a lot of guesswork on Reddit and Twitter even before the premiere:
Will Noah Hawley's upcoming FX Alien series have any connection to Alien: Earth?
Is Sigourney Weaver using flashbacks to make an appearance as an elderly Ripley?
Is a return to LV-426 hinted to in the final scene?
