The highly anticipated FX TV series Alien: Earth is already creating a stir following the recent teaser that screened with Alien: Romulus in theaters (watch below).
Series creator Noah Hawley recently appeared at The Emmys and promised the iconic Xenomorph will live up to its terrifying reputation. Based on Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise, the show is set to premiere on Hulu in 2025, and fans can expect to see the Xenomorph in a setting that hits disturbingly close to home — Earth.
“It’s an epic production. There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes that is truly chilling to think of it moving here among us,” he teases. “So I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see that, but you’ll see it — and you’re going to lock your door that night.”
Hawley teases that his approach to the Xenomorph is both familiar and fresh.
“What was really fun for me was to be able to engage with the creature, and bring some of my own thoughts to its design while not touching the silhouette, because that’s sacrosanct,” he explained to Deadline.
The series will maintain the creature’s iconic look but introduce slight tweaks inspired by its host organism, adding a new layer of horror.
“But some of the elements, as we know, whatever the host is informs what the final creature is. I just wanted to play around a little bit to make it as scary as I thought it could be,” Hawley said.
