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, and the 8-episode first season of the show is set to debut with two episodes on Tuesday, August 12, at 8 p.m. Et on Hulu and the FX linear channel, and via Disney+ internationally. 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.”

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.

New behind-the-scenes video from the set of Kill Jackie has surfaced online, and one surprising detail caught fans’ attention: Catherine Zeta-Jones is filming scenes while appearing visibly pregnant.

The video was taken while she was on set with an actor, one of the stars of the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series.

Kill Jackie is based on The Price You Pay, a novel written by Nick Harkaway under the name Aidan Truhen. The story centers around Jackie Price, a high-end art dealer who finds out she’s being hunted by a deadly group of assassins called The Seven Demons. Zeta-Jones plays Jackie, the lead role in the eight-part thriller.

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.”

Every new season of Black Mirror launches a feverish debate over which episode was the best. Emmy voters gave three consecutive Best TV Movie awards to "San Junipero" (2017), "USS Callister" (2018), and "Bandersnatch" (2019), but how does the entire fandom rate the best and worst installments? We've consulted the cumulative IMDb scores for all seasons and have come up with the definitive ranking of Black Mirror episodes. Can you guess the No. 1 choice?

Season 7 was released in April 2025 and brought the total number of episodes and specials to 34. Created by Charlie Brooker, the sci-fi anthology series began on the U.K.'s Channel 4 in 2011 before moving to Netflix (and becoming a worldwide phenomenon) in 2016. The show took a four-year break after Season 5, thanks in part to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, but that just gave people even more time to relive their favorite episodes from the beginning.

See‘Black Mirror’ star Jimmi Simpson...

Season 7 of Black Mirror dropped April 10 on Netflix after a two-year break. English showrunner Charlie Brooker wrote or cowrote all of the episodes, as usual. He's a five-time Emmy winner for writing and producing "San Junipero" in 2017, writing and producing "USS Callister" in 2018, and producing "Bandersnatch" in 2019. He received a sixth career Emmy nomination last year for writing "Joan Is Awful," but lost to Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer).

Speaking of "Bandersnatch" and "USS Callister," Season 7 marks the first time Black Mirror has revisited previous storylines in the form of cameo and a sequel, respectively. Will Poulter's computer programmer character Colin Ritman was featured in the interactive "Bandersnatch" and now returns with a small role in "Plaything." Meanwhile, "USS Callister: Into Infinity" is a full-on sequel to the original outer space installment, with Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson reprising their crew members of the titular starship.

As for the other new episodes,...

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.

The Starz network has decided to end its historical drama “The Serpent Queen” following the airing of its second season finale in August. The show told the story of Catherine de’ Medici and her rise to become the powerful Queen of France in the 16th century. Starz launched the series in 2022 to explore the life of Catherine de’ Medici and her influence over French politics for over 30 years through intriguing plots and dynamic characters.

Based on a book by historian Leonie Frieda, “The Serpent Queen” starred Samantha Morton as Catherine de’ Medici.

The eight-episode second season examined Catherine’s challenges to maintain control while facing threats, family disputes, and political maneuvering against her.

In the second season, Catherine’s grip on power is tested as she faces power struggles, conflicts and betrayals while attempting to unite France.

Exclusive: Starz is not proceeding with a third season of The Serpent Queen, starring Samantha Morton as Catherine de Medici. But it’s not all bad news for the cast of the historic drama series: I hear their options had been picked up so the actors will be paid for the unproduced Season 3 episodes.

There is also good news for the loyal fans of The Serpent Queen — a spinoff centering on Queen Elizabeth The First is in the works from the same creative team of writer/executive producer Justin Haythe and executive producer Erwin Stoff, sources said. No talent is currently attached, but Minnie Driver guest starred as the British Queen in Season 2 of Serpent Queen and is expected to reprise her role, I hear.

The cancellation decision comes a little over a month after Season 2 of The Serpent Queen ended its run on Starz. Both seasons have been well received,...
