Speaking to Deadline, Noah Hawley teased what makes this series different:

“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. 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.”

The cast 

The main cast includes Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, and Alex Lawther, with supporting roles played by Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, Kit Young, David Rysdahl, and Babou Ceesay.

Alien: Earth is expected to stream simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu in 2025.
