Like Ridley Scott’s Alien, Hawley’s new series takes its time building up terror and suspense. In true reverence to its predecessor, Alien: Earth crafts a dark, chilling atmosphere as it turns the Maginot into another haunted house in space. This is a sharp contrast to the bright, lush “paradise” of Neverland.

Earth doesn’t settle for unleashing the franchise’s signature acid-blooded terror on a new stage. It drags an entire menagerie of extraterrestrial nightmares down to our planet.

Here is what you need to know about all of the "Peter Pan" Easter eggs and connections in FX's "Alien: Earth."

Alien: Earth shares an unfortunate number of qualities with a pretty terrible sci-fi streaming series, but there may be hope for Noah Hawley's Alien show yet.

Alien: Earth premiered on August 12, 2025, and it’s digging deep into the Alien universe, unearthing lore that’s been lurking in the shadows for decades.

Alien: Earth is a welcome return to the insanity of the franchise after the last entry played things so awfully safe.
