Alien Earth Teaser Trailer and Poster Reveal

Terrifying First Look at Alien Earth

The teaser trailer provides a chilling glimpse into the series’ concept. It begins with a spacecraft hurtling toward Earth, its inside illuminated by red alert lights as alarms blare, indicating a breach in containment. A face hugger skitters down the ship’s hallways, its sinister presence foreshadowing the nightmares to come.  The final shot showcases the face-hugger perched near a window, staring at the planet below its next hunting ground.

Alongside the teaser, a brand-new poster has been unveiled by FX, which is nothing short of exceptional in configuring the cold atmosphere of the Alien universe. The key art sees a blending of the nightmarish image of a Xenomorph alongside an Earth backdrop, following the gruesome tagline: "We were safer in space." The poster hints at the shadows and tension of the show, promising another thrilling chapter in the Alien saga. 

Official Synopsis: What Alien

According to  FX, a young woman and her team of tactical soldiers respond to the crash landing of a mysterious space vessel. As they investigate that wreckage, they make one horrifying discovery of predatory life forms different from anything they have ever encountered or could ever possibly have imagined. Upon realizing the deadly potential of their discovery, which could change life on Earth forever, the group must resort to fighting for survival.
