While I ignore all the negativity surrounding the latest TV spot for James Gunn’s Superman (I’m excited so f@ck off), let’s chat about something that will hopefully deliver what it promises as FOX has issued another teaser for the highly anticipated Alien: Earth. Set a couple decades before the events of the first film and just a few years before Prometheus, this latest entry is the first foray into TV for the franchise. Check out the latest tease below!
When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
The teaser shows as much as the first one did but I’m pretty confident that this TV spot is giving us a glimpse as to how the savage extraterrestrials arrive on our poor planet.
Sydney Chandler headlines along with Alex Lawther (The End of the F**ing World*), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Babou Ceesay, and Samuel Blenkin. Fargo’s Noah Hawley created the series and serves as showrunner.
What makes this series so inviting is the fact that this is the first time that the Xenomorphs are not contained and they are about to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting Earth. I’m also excited for the “ragtag group of tactical soldiers” as I’m hoping that this is the early stages of the Colonial Marines.
It’s no secret that Aliens is and always was my favorite of the franchise so I’m eager to see this IP hit the action throttle once again with some blistering battles with the threat. I am digging the synopsis for the TV series, and I hope that we get some bombastic set pieces with a Cameron Aliens flair and vibe with some bad ass soldiers battling even badder Xenomorphs for the first time on Earth.
New key art has also dropped giving us a great look at the iconic intergalactic monster. View below!
There is still no exact launch date but expect Alien: Earth to invade small screens this summer!
