FX’s “Alien: Earth“ is expanding the Alien universe in a massive way this summer, bringing in new evil corporations and a lead protagonist that’s not quite human. New images revealed at EW today gives a closer look at key characters and their roles.
“Alien: Earth“ will premiere with two episodes on August 12 at 8pm on FX and Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally. New episodes will follow weekly on Tuesdays at 8pm through September 23.
In the series, “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”
The young woman in question is Wendy (Sydney Chandler), the first hybrid introduced in the Alien franchise. Whereas a synthetic is a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence, a hybrid is a humanoid robot infused with human consciousness. Wendy is a young girl consciousness inhabiting the body of an adult robot, and she’s sent to the frontlines with fellow hybrids when the ill-fated Weyland-Yutani spaceship crash lands in Prodigy City, unleashing its collected specimens upon Earth’s unsuspecting inhabitants – including the Xenomorph.
It’s Wendy who will be at the forefront of this highly anticipated new series, and it certainly sounds as though she’ll be caught between human monsters and actual ones.
New images give a closer look at Wendy, as well as two mysterious characters played by Timothy Olyphant and Babou Ceesay, an unlucky passenger aboard the Weyland-Yutani ship.
The eight-episode series is created by showrunner, writer, and executive producer Noah Hawley (“Fargo,” “Legion”), who directs the first episode. Alien director Ridley Scott also executive produces.
Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El also star in “Alien: Earth.”
