The Most Iconic Sci-Fi Horror Franchise Adds A Fresh Superhero Twist
Briefly

Noah Hawley's upcoming spinoff series, Alien: Earth, is set two years before the original Alien film, exploring a xenomorph invasion on Earth. The first trailer, set to premiere on August 12 on FX on Hulu, showcases Wendy, a young girl transitioning into a superpowered synthetic being. This technology transforms children into synthetics, portrayed as Earth's last line of defense against alien threats. The narrative hints at secrecy surrounding the invasion, juxtaposed with the youthful optimism of Wendy and her cohorts as they prepare to confront formidable extraterrestrial dangers.
This new technology turns what used to be children into essentially supersoldiers, the Alien equivalent of a superhero team to defend the Earth.
In the trailer, we see a young girl about to undergo an experimental procedure. "You're gonna be the first person to transition from a human body to a synthetic," we hear a man say.
