It seems like the time has finally come when Noah Hawley’s FX Alien series starts to be revealed! Recently at a Disney D23 event in Brazil some new key art and a short teaser were shown for the upcoming series.
We figured it wouldn’t be long after this presentation when we might see something and it wasn’t! A new preview compilation for upcoming Disney+ Series was shared to X by Feature First, and included in the video is our first look at footage from Alien: Earth! Check it out below!
It’s pretty brief, but we get an establishing shot of canyon, followed by a look inside the very Nostromo-looking spaceship, the USCSS Maginot. Also seen is a group emerging from the water next to a cave, as well as a close-up of our protagonist Wendy played by Sydney Chandler.
A Xenomorph is seen but it’s the same clip we saw of it with the initial teaser. During the clip there is a voiceover which says:
“This ship collected specimens from a faraway moon. Monsters.”

Good to know.
Unfortunately.
I cant imagine it being a "total flop". There are a lot of big players involved in the production of this show and I'd imagine FX has a lot riding on the success of this show in terms of future seasons, merchandizing and network acclaim. They have also proven that their original series often produce a high level product, E.g. Shogun, Fargo, The Bear etc.
I love Scorched's design in Romulus, I don't really like how they shot it mostly. I hope there they nail it.
I'm not so sure; when I think of 'Predator 2' with the lead following/on the trail of whatever is stalking /killing people, with that sort of cat/mouse challenge; I could see that working in an episodic format 😊
I think something like Monarch, but with OWLF tracking down a small number of Predators across 10 episodes would work perfectly.
I think a series similar to P2 could work. Start out showing detectives investigating a series of murders suspecting a new serial killer etc. But it's really a Pred. Have it build suspense throughout until the big reveal.
One thing I've always thought would work well is a Pred v Pred type scenario. Like a Rogue Pred or a Bad Blood done correctly. IE - One escapes/goes berserk and crash lands on Earth (naturally!). And then there's a team investigating the crime scenes/murders left by Rogue Pred - but a clean up Pred is dispatched to take down the rogue. So you see a Pred being stalked by police/army who are being followed by 'Pred 2' to clean up the mess, if that makes sense?
You could have some interesting interactions with it, too, IMO. So for example, you see bodies strung up, blood everywhere etc. and a police/Army guy looking panicked, shook up thinking WTF and he's tasked with investigating the disturbance/bodies. He walks in, shaking, gun raised absolutely bricking himself. When all of a sudden a cloaked Pred appears behind him and you get an audio stinger. Now you're like "Oh f**k - here's where he gets it!"- BUT! as he turns the Pred sidesteps him and allows him to walk by because it's actually the clean up Pred (and we'll learn he won't engage unless he absolutely has to!) So the guard walks off and Clean Up Pred investigates further.
There are several ways I think an episodic Pred could work, though.
"There's a Predator on the wing!"
We could have an anthology show. Think about something like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, only with Predators.
New info just dropped here!
I think it's likely pending the response to badlands and the animated movie.
Nightmare Asylum: Mr. T appreciates the Closed Captioning; Mr. T lost much of his hearing as a 12B in the Army!
Dear Mr. T: "This ship collected specimens from faraway moon. Monsters."
Legion is a lot more abstract than Fargo from what I saw of it (I actually hated it tbh even though I love his work on Fargo and didn't quite make it to the end of S1) but I don't think memorable or complex characters are lacking there either.
I don't know if Legion is as good in that regard, but I only heard really good things about Fargo indeed.
Amen to this. Hawley has written some very memorable, offbeat and intriguing characters in Fargo.
I thought that as well.
Spoiler
Definitely not actual footage from the show, it's just some promo footage.
As for the design of said Alien... jury is still out on that one.
Forest may be likely, considering what leaked before.
