Whatâs Alien: Earth About?
Set in 2120, Alien: Earth follows âWendyâ (played by Sydney Chandler), a prototype hybridâpart synthetic, part human consciousnessâcreated by the Prodigy Corporation. The story kicks off when the USCSS Maginot, a deep space research ship, crashes on Earth. Wendy, along with a team of tactical soldiers, faces off against terrifying new threats following the crash.
The Earth in Alien: Earth is run by five mega-corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. Cyborgs, synthetics, and now hybrids live among humans in what the show calls the âCorporate Era.â After a Weyland-Yutani ship crashes into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter new lifeformsâcreatures far more dangerous than expected.
