As seen in the new teaser for “Alien: Earth,” the series isn’t burying the lede at all. There are Xenomorphs on Earth. That’s probably enough to sway most ‘Alien’ fans into wanting to see the new show. FX is hoping that’s enough right now because the teaser still doesn’t show any actual footage from the series.
The series stars Sydney Chandler, 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. “Alien: Earth” comes from showrunner Noah Hawley. He’s probably best known as the mastermind behind the award-winning “Fargo” series.
