New episodes will drop on Tuesdays on Hulu and FX at 8 p.m. Et. With the premiere date right around the corner, a 4 minute behind-the-scenes featurette has dropped online and can be seen at the bottom of this article. The featurette includes interviews with Hawley and multiple cast members.

One of the first things we heard about the Alien TV series – and one of the most surprising things about it – is that it will be set on Earth (thus the title), a couple of decades before the events of the first movie.

FX has released a second full trailer for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, and in addition to giving us a glimpse of the show's redesigned Xenomorph, we get to see some of the other "monsters" Sydney Chandler's human/android hybrid soldier Wendy and the other protagonists will face

The Xeno only appears right at the end of the teaser (and at a distance), but it appears to have retained the classic look of the iconic creature for the most part.

During a new interview with Collider, Hawley explained why he was hesitant to deviate too much from the original design, and "didn't want to mess with the silhouette of the creature at all.”

“I always felt like it was the least effective when it looked like a guy in a suit. You know what I mean? So there are elements, like in the classic, there's just this big ribcage,...

FX recently unveiled the full trailer for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, and it revealed that the series will introduce some intriguing new elements to the long-running franchise.

Set two years prior to the events of Ridley Scott's classic, this first ever Alien series will feature the debut of a new form of synthetic hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness), and Sydney Chandler's character, Wendy, will lead her own team of hybrid soldiers.

When a Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy's crew volunteers to investigate, and they discover more than just Xenomophs waiting in the wreckage.

Alien: Earth is also set to introduce "five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe. Monsters… Invasive species. Predatory.”

In the second-ever series of Charlie Brooker's anthology series "Black Mirror" — back when it still aired on the UK's Channel 4 and before it migrated to Netflix — Brooker and director Charlie Tibbetts introduce a harrowing installment titled "White Bear." The episode opens as a woman named Victoria (Lenora Crichlow) wakes up in an empty house with a television showing an odd symbol; pictures of a man (Nick Ofield) and a little girl (Imani Jackman) surround her. Though Victoria tries to interact with various people in the seemingly empty suburb, they just take photos and videos of her on their phones instead, and though Victoria thinks she's saved when she meets two helpful strangers — who explain that the TV symbol she saw makes people into passive gawkers — there's more to this entire situation than she realizes.

After various teaser promos and social media spots, FX has finally unveiled the full trailer for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth.

Set two years prior to the events of Ridley Scott's classic, this first ever Alien series will introduce a new form of synthetic hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness), and the trailer begins with a terminally ill young woman transitioning into the body of Sydney Chandler's character, Wendy.

When a Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy leads a team of fellow hybrids to investigate, and they discover more than just Xenomophs waiting in the wreckage.

Alien: Earth is also set to introduce "five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe. Monsters… Invasive species. Predatory.”

We knew that Alien: Earth would take place before Ridley Scott's original film, but based on this logline, the show will be set just two years prior to the events of the first Alien. It's also come to light that Syndey Chandler's character, Wendy, is actually a prototype android.

Happy Alien Day!

Two new teasers for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth have been released online. One spotlights the gestation cycle of a Xenomorph (in graphic detail), while the other reveals that the iconic acid-blooded beasts are not the only extraterrestrial threat our planet will face in the series!

According to the voiceover, “five different lifeforms from the darkest corners of the universe — each one a unique, deadly species” were chosen to bring back to Earth for study (never a good idea).

We don't get a proper look at the other lifeforms in the crates, but this doesn't sound like five different variations or subspecies of Xenomorph. A group of brand-new alien creatures would certainly prove to be an intriguing and unexpected addition to this series.

Check out the promos below along with a new poster, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Incoming report from Weyland-Yutani: Critical Gestation Complete.

The Alien franchise is set to continue on the small screen with an “FX on Hulu” TV series called Alien: Earth, from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, which is aiming for a Summer 2025 premiere. While we wait to hear a specific premiere date for the show, FX has partnered with IGN to put together “a tongue-in-cheek Earth Day public service announcement,” which can be seen in the embed above. On the IGN social media accounts, they’ll also be rolling out a series of short videos “chronicling the gestation of a creature in what appeared to be a controlled lab setting.”

Following some brief promos, FX has finally released a full teaser for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, which begins with the first clip from the upcoming sci-fi horror series.

The footage finds a man sitting in a very Nostromo-esque control room as his crewmate desperately tries to convince him to open the door and let her in. The woman then turns to face whatever has been stalking her, and we get a first look at one of the show's Xenomorphs on the attack.

Hawley has hinted that the series will introduce a new breed of the iconic creature, though it's difficult to make out any significant changes to the classic design here.

As the Xeno dispatches its victim, the man - possibly the ship's android - tells the computer that the crew is dead. Though we don't know for sure, we assume this is what remains of the crew of the Uscss Maginot,...

The xenomorphs will soon be crashing to Earth, and now we know a few more people they may or may not be having for lunch. Later this year, FX will premiere Alien: Earth, its new television series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley. Set two years before the original Alien film, the series will explore how the massive corporations ruling Earth came to learn about the xenomorph.

Alien: Earth wrapped filming back in July 2024, but many of the details about the series have been kept under wraps. That's starting to change. Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed 11n new cast members who will play guest starring roles in Alien: Earth. The new actors joining the series are Richa Moorjani (Fargo), Karen Aldridge, Enzo Cilenti (Game of Thrones), Max Rinehart (Unforgotten), Amir Boutrous (The Crown), Victoria Masoma, Tom Moya, Andy Yu (Fargo), Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters), Jamie Bisping (The Rings of Power) and Tanapol Chuksrida.

While we're still waiting on a full trailer, FX recently released some snippets of new footage (see below) for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, and we now have a series of short "Secret Transmission" teasers which appear to document the events that lead to the Uscss Maginot crash-landing on Earth.

There are quite a few classic Alien callbacks here, including very familiar computer sounds, garbled transmissions, interiors that look quite a bit like the Nostromo from Ridley Scott's film, and a cat that could very easily pass for Jonesy.

The first clip begins with a crew member fixing a camera to the cat's head, and our new feline friend ends up recording some kind of red alert event that sends the crew into a panic. We also see someone in a cryosleep pod, and we're willing to bet that this guy is just bursting to get off the ship...

The marketing for Alien: Earth is beginning to ramp up. A series of video teasers have been released ahead of the sci-fi show's summer premiere on FX.

Bloody Disgusting was recently sent five short videos featuring footage filmed on the camera collar of the long-haired orange cat, Rascal, who roams freely aboard the Uscss Maginot, the Weyland-Yutani ship that will crashland on Earth in the upcoming Alien series. The description for all five videos is the same and reads as follows: "We suspect there is important information pertaining to Weyland Yutani's Deep Space Programs that could be of use to the corporation. Files on the data drive may offer clues to the ship's mission." Check out all five teasers below.

Cillian Murphy has been named Best Lead Actor in the film category of the Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs) for the second year running.

Following his win last year for Oppenheimer (which went on to bag him the Oscar), Murphy won for his role in the film Small Things Like These.

The film, an adaptation of Claire Keegan’s novella, also won Best Film.

Complete Winners List Below

An Irish-language film about Belfast rap group Kneecap was nominated in 17 award categories. The film’s director Rich Peppiatt won best director in the film category, and it was also recognised in casting and costume design.

At the ceremony in Dublin, Ireland, Friday evening, Saoirse Ronan was a double winner, taking home Best Lead Actress for The Outrun and Best Supporting Actress for The Blitz.

Ralph Fiennes and Demi Moore were winners in the international acting categories for Conclave and The Substance respectively.

Small Things Like These, an Irish drama starring Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant and father haunted by secret abuses in a local convent sanctioned by the Catholic Church, beat out Kneecap, the hip-hop comedy featuring Michael Fassbender, to win the best film honor at the Irish Film & Television Awards 2025 during a ceremony held in Dublin on Friday. Saoirse Ronan left with two awards (the lead actress honor for her role in The Outrun and the supporting actress trophy for Blitz). Murphy won the best actor IFTA for his work in Small Things Like These. Demi Moore (The Substance) and Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) were honored in the international acting categories, and Colin Farrell (The Penguin) and Sharon Horgan (for writing Bad Sisters) earned TV statuettes.

Rich Peppiatt received the best director IFTA for Kneecap, which follows the West Belfast hip-hop trio of the same name on their mission to save their mother tongue.

Two years into their jobs as response officers, Grace (Brooke), Annie (Devlin) and Tommy (Braniff) are accustomed to life under the blue lights.

Quick Links'Gunpowder Milkshake' Is a Star-Studded Action Extravaganza'Gunpowder Milkshake' Impressively Gender Swaps 'John Wick'

The silver screen's most exciting and revered actresses teamed up to star in the sensational 2021 action thriller Gunpowder Milkshake, with famous faces like Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, and Michelle Yeoh appearing as deadly assassins who join forces to take down a nefarious crime syndicate that is ruthlessly targeting one of their own. Jam-packed full of adrenaline-pumping action sequences, butt-kicking females, and a delightfully bold premise, Gunpowder Milkshake dazzled audiences and kept them hooked as bodies dropped and bullets flew up until the credits rolled.

While there's no denying that the epic thriller shares some similarities to Keanu Reeves' electrifying John Wick franchise, the delightful female-centric take on the blockbuster series is nonetheless a wildly entertaining way to spend an evening as the leading ladies dominate every scene they're in. Let's take a closer look...

“Kneecap” — the Irish-language music biopic that became one of the buzziest indie films of 2024 and is now tipped for both Oscar and BAFTA recognition — has, perhaps unsurprisingly, emerged far ahead of the pack of nominees for the 2025 Irish Film & TV Academy (IFTA) awards.

The Garvey sisters in Bad Sisters go from a bad situation in Season 1 to an even worse one in Season 2. The Apple TV+ original Irish black comedy was an instant hit when it debuted in August 2022. The show went on to earn four Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Lead Actress for Sharon Horgan, who also developed the series.

In Season 1 of Bad Sisters, the five sisters find themselves at odds with John Paul (Claes Bang), the husband of second-oldest sister Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), who not only treats her terribly, but wreaks havoc onall their lives. The sisters’ plan to have him killed didn’t quite pan out as they had hoped. But John Paul did, in fact, end up dead. And they ended up at the center of the case when a desperate insurance agent started looking for evidence of foul play to avoid the big payout. Things took...

Cillian Murphy started his acting career in 1997, and, almost 28 years later, the actor is at the top of his game. Peaky Blinders might have earned him most of his fans, but Oppenheimer is what truly granted him entrance to Hollywood’s A-list lounge. Now he is getting even more praise for his work in Small Things Like These. Still, Murphy will always be Tommy Shelby to most of his admirers. “Remember, I am an actor!” he texted series creator Steven Knight when he realized he was almost losing out on the role of Shelby to Jason Statham. Knight took a chance with him. The rest is his story.

Some big-name movie directors have tried their hand at music videos in between directing movies, including Spike Jonze, Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese. Music videos offer directors a chance to try out some ideas in a shorter format. Rather than directing just one movie, a director could decide to shoot several music videos with different styles and different artists, just to keep things feeling fresh.

In some cases, Hollywood directors have helped create iconic music videos. The Beastie Boys, Michael Jackson and Madonna can all thank movie directors for some of their biggest hits, even if these directors have only tried out one or two music videos. For some directors, a music video can act as a warm-up for a movie, while others are just as involved in music videos as they are in movies.

Not everything needs a second season.

“Bad Sisters,” created by Sharon Horgan, Brett Baer, and Dave Finkel, and based on the Belgian series “Clan,” was one such series, neatly wrapping up the eponymous Garvey sisters’ story with ten episodes that premiered on Apple TV+ in 2022.

But of those many shows that should have left well enough alone, a rare few manage to pull off that second installment (if not more beyond that) with — if not resounding success, then aplomb. “Bad Sisters” didn’t need a second season, but Horgan and her team execute the near-impossible task of picking up, building out, and smartly continuing the story, even if Season 1 remains superior.

Season 2 catches up with the sisters — Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), Eva (Horgan), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene), and Becka (Eve Hewson) — a few years after the other four planned to kill Grace’s husband, only for her to end up killing him herself.

Is Elijah Wood one of the best costars an actor can ask for? Michael Smiley thinks so. Smiley, currently starring in Season 2 of Bad Sisters, plays the antagonist in the Elijah Wood-led father/daughter New Zealand adventure film, Bookworm. In a recent MovieWeb interview, Smiley praised Wood, with whom he also worked in the horror romp, Come to Daddy. Both films were directed by Ant Timpson.

He's a great example of what it is to be a man, Smiley beamed about Wood, who plays a fallen magician in the film and a man hoping to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Mildred (Nell Fisher). When asked about how Wood is on set and his acting process, Smiley added: I wouldn't be arrogant enough to tell you what I think his process is, because it's his process. But what I know of him from working with him is that he's so generous.
