Expanding the ever-growing Alien universe with fresh layers of depth and nuance, the first two episodes — “Neverland” and “Mr. October”— are packed with references, Easter eggs, and subtle callbacks to previous films, along with clever nods to other corners of pop culture.

Alien: Earth episode 1 is available on August 12 on Hulu, FX and Disney Plus from 5:00 PM Pacific/8:00 PM Eastern. That's on August 13 at 1:00 AM BST in the UK. The second episode will also be streaming at that time, with it also airing on FX at 9:30 PM Eastern.

Earth for years, FX and Hulu have settled on releasing the first season of the show through a weekly schedule. The model will allow fans to unveil the mysteries of the series throughout the fall of 2025.
