Watch Alien: Earth online
An abandoned spacecraft containing suspicious organisms; a fearless female charged with taking them on; a shady corporation overseeing the chaos – Alien: Earth looks like it will slot into the franchise canon perfectly! US viewers can tune into Alien: Earth live on FX or online via Sling TV and Hulu, while it’s on Disney Plus elsewhere around the globe. Read on for how to watch Alien: Earth online from anywhere with a VPN.
Stepping into the big shoes of Ripley, Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) is the central heroine of Alien: Earth. A hybrid (“a humanoid robot infused with human consciousness”), she leads a team that investigates the USCSS Maginot space vessel that has crashed to Earth in suspicious circumstances two years prior to the events of the original Alien movie. No prizes for guessing that the creatures they find on board are far from friendly or obedient.
Diehard fans of the original movies worried that Alien: Earth will be yet another disappointing spin-off probably needn’t be – creator Noah Hawley has form when it comes to reimagining beloved films for the small screen. His Fargo anthology series won three Golden Globes, three Primetime Emmys and a legion of fans.
