In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. Cyborgs and synthetics exist alongside humans, but the game is changed when the Prodigy Corporation unlocks hybrids. The first hybrid prototype named Wendy marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms, which are more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stylistically bold and scary as hell, Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth transplants the Xenomorph mythos into the television medium with its cinematic grandeur intact while staking out a unique identity of its own.

Clarisse Loughrey Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 8
Both Andor and Alien: Earth massively expand the scope of their source material not by introducing radical new ideas but by revisiting the old, core ones with a new clarity and force. Go to Full Review
Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 24
The series’ first season was too committed to childish things to allow the franchise to grow up. Go to Full Review
Phillip Maciak The New Republic Aug 20
As this new show hurtled by, I felt the visceral excitement of its creator, the explosion of his ideas, his genuine love for the material. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ Jan 1
While the thought of introducing new beasties may be tantamount to sacrilege for some fans, it does add a welcome air of uncertainty as to just how these creatures will attack and what orifices they will emerge from. Go to Full Review

5/5
If there are stumbles, they’re the kind you forgive instantly. A flourish here or there might feel indulgent, a surreal image might make you raise an eyebrow, but that’s the joy of it: this show isn’t afraid to go too far. Go to Full Review

David D @Viscro 11h The claim that Alien: Earth is to Alien what Andor is to Star Wars is unfair to both Alien: Earth and Andor. Even though there are stark parallels, it somewhat discounts the unique qualities of both shows. That being said, Alien: Earth boasts some incredible worldbuilding, a great feel for the right atmosphere and tone, as well as good performances, but it doesn't quite reach Andor's heights.

I’ll keep watching. See more Jacob W @Jacob871 Jan 20 It was good good camera quality loved it but what made it just terrible how she controlled the xenomorph like a hound dog. Controlling it so much it's like she's acting like she's one of them it' a apex predator that you should not been controlled It it's very intelligent remember xenomorph grid stamped by the predator net so intelligent it used cutoff tail acid to throw but anyways should have been killing everyone on that ship or at least kidnapping them for the face huggers get ready for season 2 of more bullshit🙄 See more Lawrence O @Ollie99 Jan 20 This show is amazing. I can't wait until next season. See more Brandon K @TheKeizer Jan 19 Wow is this good, highly recommend. The physical sets and props really seal the deal. See more Read all reviews
