Prepare. Before itâs too late.
The xenomorphs are backâbut this time, Earth is the battleground. FXâs Alien: Earth, created by Noah Hawley, isnât just another prequelâitâs a high-stakes reimagining of terror, humanity, and the blurring lines between machine and flesh. With the new Official Trailer 2: Greener World, weâre given a chilling glimpse of what happens when survival isnât just interstellar⌠itâs personal.
Set to premiere on August 12, 2025, on FX, FX on Hulu, and Hulu on Disney+, this series promises to crack open the mythos of Alien in bold, terrifying new directions.
đ Premise: When the Ship Falls, Humanity Follows
A mysterious deep-space research vessel, the USCSS Maginot, crashes onto Earth, carrying secrets that were never meant to land. As a ragtag group of tactical soldiers scramble to assess the damage, they uncover something far worse than wreckageâa new strain of alien horror threatening to remake Earth as its own breeding ground.
At the center of it all is Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler, a being whoâs neither fully synthetic nor fully humanâa hybrid. She must lead or destroy, evolve or be erased.

đ Trailer Breakdown: âGreener Worldâ â A Beautiful Lie
The Official Trailer 2, titled Greener World, juxtaposes vivid natural landscapes with mechanical dread and alien mutations. Itâs a haunting metaphorâEarth, lush and untouched, is now the breeding ground for something far from natural.
