“Alien: Earth” is a prequel series to Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 sci-fi horror “Alien,” the first of nine films in the franchise. The official logline for “Alien: Earth” reads, “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.”

In July 2024, showrunner Noah Hawley told Variety that the show “just wrapped production” and he had only just started piecing together the visual effects in a “long” post production process.

“It’s a very big show. It’s nice to have some time with it,” Hawley said at the time. “The first year of anything, you want to feel like you’re not up against the wall in terms of time. I’ve seen four of the eight hours of director cuts and engaged in the process of figuring out, cinematically, what it wants to be. It’s one of my favorite parts of making a show.”

Moorjani is represented by UTA, Anonymous Content, ID, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman and Smelkinson & Christopher. Aldridge is represented by Gray Talent Group. Cilenti is represented by 42 M&P Ltd. Rinehart is represented by Independent Talent Group. Boutrous is represented by Paul Becker Talent. Moya is represented by Tom Barrett Artists. Yu is represented by Play Management Inc. Bisping is represented by Curtis Brown Group.
