FX has dropped a chilling second trailer for the upcoming series Alien: Earth, and it wastes no time making one thing clear, this isn’t just another sci-fi survival story. It’s a war zone. The latest footage from the upcoming series pushes deeper into a world where corporate ambition, synthetic evolution, and primal terror are colliding at full speed.
Set in 2120, Alien: Earth takes place over a century before Ridley Scott’s 1979 original. But this time, the fight comes to Earth. The trailer kicks off with a haunting sound, creatures stirring in the dark, before unveiling our planet is put at risk by experimentation gone wrong. At the center of it all is the crashed USCSS Maginot, and something terrifying inside it. “We don’t lock them down… it will be too late,” says Timothy Olyphant’s Kirsh in a moment that sets the tone: this isn’t a rescue mission, it’s a last stand.
The world of Alien: Earth is no utopia. Five mega-corporations—Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold—run the show. In this fractured system, humans, synthetics, and cyborgs coexist with uneasy tension. Then Prodigy Corporation crosses a line: hybrids. Humanoid robots embedded with human consciousness. Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) is the first. As she wakes, she asks the trailer’s most cutting question: “If I’m not human, what am I?”
After Weyland-Yutani’s ship crashes into Prodigy City, things go from bad to apocalyptic. Xenomorphs, blood-drenched, shrieking, and unmistakably lethal, aren’t the only threat anymore. The enemy is layered: corporate betrayal, synthetic sentience, and something older that was never meant to be brought back to Earth.
The cast includes Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, Samuel Blenkin and more. Noah Hawley (of Fargo fame) is at the helm, with Ridley Scott back as executive producer through Scott Free. The series premieres August 12 with the first two episodes, then continues weekly through September 23 on FX and Hulu.
This new trailer dials everything up. Bigger stakes, more blood, and fewer places to hide. The aliens are here, the corporations are at war, and Earth may be the last place left to fall. You can watch the latest trailer below.
