Alien Earth (Disney+): the series specifies its release date in a new teaser

The next chapter in the Xenomorph franchise is definitely very timid. After a first micro-teaser two months agoAnd a handful of unprecedented seconds ten days ago, Alien: Earth has just revealed a new mini teaser. The opportunity to offer us a more precise release date for the expected series from the Disney+ streaming platform.

A modified timeline?

Thirty short seconds of images which do not bring much new, except a modification of the year in which the series takes place, and the chronology of the saga.

In fact, the series Alien: Earth was initially presented as taking place in 2092, close to the events of Prometheus (2093), and long before the adventures of Ellen Ripley and the first film Alienlocated in 2122.

But this new teaser opens today with the following words: “Year 2120. Planet Earth is expecting a child.” A change which may seem trivial, but which brings Noah Hawley's series considerably closer to the action ofAlien, the eighth passenger.

There is no doubt that the success in theaters Romulus (which borrows heavily from Alien And Aliens) had to reshuffle the cards on the future of the saga.

This change in chronology makes it easier to link Noah Hawley's series (Fargo) to the most popular part of the franchise, notably moving away from the unloved Prometheus And Alien: Covenant.

Here is the updated timeline of the Alien saga:

• 2093: Prometheus
• 2104: Alien: Covenant
• 2120: Alien: Earth
• 2122: Alien, the eighth passenger
• 2142: Alien: Romulus
• 2179: Aliens
• 2179: Alien 3
• 2381: Alien: Resurrection

Coming back to this teaser, not much to get excited about. The most attentive, however, will have discerned the images of a sheep's eye, and of a man in distress (the actor Alex Lawther perhaps).

We are nevertheless delighted to learn that the series is now announced for “summer 2025” in the United States, thanks to a new poster. If Disney+ France is more cautious and does not mention a season, this nevertheless allows us to hope for a release of the series between the end of June and the beginning of September 2025.

Produced by the FX studio (Shogun, The Bear), Alien: Earth will mark the first time that a story in the franchise takes place predominantly on our planet. Here is the official synopsis:

“When a mysterious spaceship crashes on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that brings them face to face with the greatest threat on the planet.”
