The Alien Earth release date 2025 is on every fan’s mind, along with questions about how many episodes we’ll get and, most importantly if we are protected from those terrible cliffhangers. Let's get dive in.

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?
