The IGN World Guide for FX’s Alien: Earth launched today, Earth Day 2025, and it provides fans of the acclaimed sci-fi horror franchise an exclusive look at the FX-Hulu series coming this summer.
As part of this launch, we’ve partnered with FX on a tongue-in-cheek Earth Day public service announcement, which can be viewed via the player below.
We’re also rolling out a series of short videos across our social media channels this week chronicling the gestation of a creature in what appeared to be a controlled lab setting … although if the Alien franchise has taught us anything, it’s that creatures in that world can’t be controlled.
From creator Noah Hawley, FX’s Alien: Earth follows a young woman (played by Sydney Chandler) and a band of tactical soldiers who make a fateful discovery after a spaceship crash-lands on Earth.
The series is set in 2120 when, according to its official plot synopsis, “five corporations – Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold – wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow.”
In addition to Sydney Chandler, the cast includes Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille and Moe Bar-El.
