This post contains spoilers for "Andor" season 2, episode 4.

Choosing a favorite monologue from the first season of "Andor" is like selecting a favorite episode from the original trilogy. It's a tough choice, given that several of the "Andor" season 1 monologues were some of the all-time greatest in the "Star Wars" universe. From Luthen's (Stellan Skarsgård) admission of sharing his dreams with ghosts to Nemik's (Alex Lawther) manifesto declaring the Empire an unnatural thing, speeches littered throughout Tony Gilroy's TV lead-up to "Rogue One" contained chest-thumping moments that made you feel you could take on the Empire yourself. However, it was Maarva Andor's (Fiona Shaw) declaration to fight them from beyond the grave that became truly became legendary.

Her warning of a wound at the center of the galaxy now boasts 2.6 million views on the Star Wars YouTube account, and frankly, we're surprised that number isn't higher. We wouldn't blame you,...

"Andor" builds up the horrors of the Galactic Empire like no other part of "Star Wars," focusing on the atrocities they commit -- but not the obvious ones, like blowing up planets. Instead, the show is all about the quieter atrocities, the smaller instances of villainy that slowly made people used to the oppression of the Empire. It's like Alex Lawther's Nemik once said, "The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it, and that is the real trick of the Imperial Thought Machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident." We don't need to see stormtroopers annihilating an entire people or Wookiees being enslaved en masse when things like increasing prison sentences for no reason already show the way the Empire oppresses people day-to-day.

Season 2, however, seems to be building up to more explicit atrocities. The first episode of the season already introduced us...

Disney+ ha compartido un nuevo teaser tráiler y póster de la esperadísima serie Alien: Planeta Tierra, que expandirá (una vez más) el icónico universo cinematográfico de la saga Alien, creada por Ridley Scott, al mismo tiempo que traerá al temible xenomorfo al entorno más familiar –y terrorífico– posible: nuestro querido planeta Tierra. Así es, todo un hito, porque será la primera vez que veremos a la criatura en nuestro hogar.

En Alien: Planeta Tierra, cuando una misteriosa nave espacial se estrella en la Tierra, una joven y un variopinto grupo de soldados tácticos hacen un fatídico descubrimiento que les enfrentará cara a cara con la mayor amenaza del planeta. Mientras los miembros del equipo de rescate buscan supervivientes entre los escombros, se topan con misteriosas formas de vida depredadoras, más terroríficas de lo que jamás hubieran imaginado. Tras conocer esta nueva amenaza, el equipo de búsqueda debe luchar por la supervivencia.

This summer, FX and Hulu will debut the latest entry in the iconic sci-fi horror franchise Alien. Titled Alien: Earth, this will be the Xenomorph's first television series, It's set in the year 2120, around two years before the original 1979 film starring Sigourney Weaver. And as the name implies, this time around, the action will take place on Earth itself.

I've had some reservations about how that might work in the larger context of the franchise, which often revolves around how utterly essential it is to keep the invasive Xenomorphs from ever reaching the human home planet. But with each new glimpse of Alien: Earth we get, those fears become quieter.

And we're getting quite a few glimpses at the moment, because FX and Hulu dropped a slew of new teaser trailers over the week. The largest of the bunch dropped on April 26, also known as Alien Day in the fandom...

Alien: Earth is an upcoming American sci-fi horror TV series created by Noah Hawley. It is based on the famous Alien franchise and takes place two years before the events of the 1979 Alien movie. The show stars Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, and Adarsh Gourav.

The story follows a young woman and a group of soldiers after a space vessel crashes on Earth. They soon make a shocking discovery that brings them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.

Alien: Earth will premiere on FX on Hulu in the United States in mid-2025.

Happy Alien Day!

Two new teasers for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth have been released online. One spotlights the gestation cycle of a Xenomorph (in graphic detail), while the other reveals that the iconic acid-blooded beasts are not the only extraterrestrial threat our planet will face in the series!

According to the voiceover, “five different lifeforms from the darkest corners of the universe — each one a unique, deadly species” were chosen to bring back to Earth for study (never a good idea).

We don't get a proper look at the other lifeforms in the crates, but this doesn't sound like five different variations or subspecies of Xenomorph. A group of brand-new alien creatures would certainly prove to be an intriguing and unexpected addition to this series.

Check out the promos below along with a new poster, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Incoming report from Weyland-Yutani: Critical Gestation Complete.

"This ship collected five different life-forms from the darkest corners of the universe... Each one a unique, deadly species." FX has revealed two more promo spots for Alien Day celebrating their upcoming series Alien: Earth. Everyone knows that April 26th (4/26) is Alien Day, in honor of the planet Lv-426 from the original 1979 movie. When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat. This is set in 2120 when "five corporations - Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold - wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow." Uh oh. Created & directed by Noah Hawley. The cast includes Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Moe Bar-El & others. The first teaser talks about...

It’s April 26 which means it’s #AlienDay, an annual celebration of the Alien franchise and its many horrific delights. This year is a particularly special Alien Day because the franchise’s first ever television series is headed our way in just a matter of months, and Hulu is using the day as an excuse to unleash a bunch of brand new marketing materials for “Alien: Earth.”

Check out a new official poster for “Alien: Earth” below, along with a new teaser trailer for the FX/Hulu series that teases the deadly nightmares about to be unleashed here on Earth.

A voice narrates over the new footage, “This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe. Each one a unique, deadly species. Monsters.”

“Alien: Earth” is set before the events of the original Alien, in the year 2120.

From creator Noah Hawley, “Alien: Earth” deals with...

In space, no one can hear you scream. But on Earth? We’re going to find out, as Alien: Earth is landing on Hulu/Disney+ this year. And to amp up the excitement, we have a new teaser and key art.

Here is the synopsis of Alien: Earth: “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s highly anticipated TV series “Alien: Earth” from creator Noah Hawley…“Alien: Earth” is set in 2120 when five corporations – Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold – wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow.”

The studio has dropped a few teasers and clips here and there, but there really isn’t a whole lot of extensive promotion going on.

Earth just got a little more crowded thanks to the arrival of a new teaser for Alien: Earth. Putting their best foot forward to celebrate Alien day, FX has unveiled the latest peek at the upcoming series which is set to crash onto our TV screens this summer. If you thought one Xenomorph could do some damage, just wait and see how the planet fares after five monsters from the furthest reaches of space go completely ham. Starring Sugar’s Sydney Chandler, the series continues the tradition of following a female protagonist and pitting her against humanity’s deadliest adversary.

Nothing good can come from the cargo showcased in the latest Alien: Earth spot. Viewers are taken around the cargo hold of a doomed vessel, where we see the silhouettes of creepy-crawly critters in their illuminated cages.

Slick marketing campaigns for TV and movies used to be exciting… almost more than the shows and movies themselves. Filled with interactive websites, with hidden surprises, early internet users had to guess their ways through a maze of mysteries to receive the reward of photos or new videos.

Get ready for the latest new marketing campaign for the highly anticipated Alien: Earth.

In March, FX’s Alien: Earth immersive experience was at SXSW where visitors embarked on an exploratory mission through the ship wreckage, getting up close and personal with alien specimens in order to unearth new details from the series, exclusive giveaways and photo opportunities.

With Alien Day a few days away on April 26 (Lv 426) comes the latest campaign for the tv show, debuting this summer.

To celebrate Earth Day, FX has released a new video and a cool website over at IGN promoting the series.

In celebration of Earth Day, a holiday usually meant to celebrate the planet we all live on and its natural beauty, a terrifying new poster and new teaser for Alien: Earth have just dropped. Check out the poster below.

Alien: Earth is a prequel to the 1997 hit movie Alien. Noah Hawley is at the helm of this series which is expected to focus much less on the sequel movies and their lore Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. You can watch the new teaser below.

Alien: Earth will heavily incorporate the five gigantic corporations that occupy the world of Alien. Those are Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. Weyland-Yutani was a big part of the storytelling in Alien: Romulus as the ship most of the story takes place on is owned by the company. Truthfully, every setting of the movie is owned by Weyland-Yutani.

Rebellions are built on hope and that hope is alive and well with “Andor” Season 2 finally here.

The second season of “Andor” shows what Cassian’s (Diego Luna) time in the rebellion was like in the four years leading up to the events in “Rogue One.” It’s a bit of a change from Season 1, which took place over a single year. Things start coming to a head as the Rebellion grows into a more legitimate threat but the stress of years of fighting begins to weigh down on the spies and politicians fighting the good fight.

Before the final season begins, head below to refresh what happened to the titular hero in our complete “Andor” Season 1 recap.

The Alien franchise is set to continue on the small screen with an “FX on Hulu” TV series called Alien: Earth, from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, which is aiming for a Summer 2025 premiere. While we wait to hear a specific premiere date for the show, FX has partnered with IGN to put together “a tongue-in-cheek Earth Day public service announcement,” which can be seen in the embed above. On the IGN social media accounts, they’ll also be rolling out a series of short videos “chronicling the gestation of a creature in what appeared to be a controlled lab setting.”

One of the first things we heard about the Alien TV series – and one of the most surprising things about it – is that it will be set on Earth (thus the title), a couple of decades before the events of the first movie. FX chairman John Landgraf has said the...

The Alien franchise kicked off in 1979, and has been constantly adding new installments each decade. In 2019, it received the first TV series, the animated sci-fi horror web series Alien: Isolation, and another one is on the way.

To celebrate Earth Day on Apr. 22, the upcoming sci-fi horror series Alien: Earth has just revealed a new teaser and another poster via IGN. The series serves as a prequel for the franchise, set two years before the events of the original Alien movie. While Alien: Earth has yet to receive a release date, the TV series is keeping fans aware of it.

This article contains Major Spoilers for Black Mirror Season 7, Episode 2, "Bête Noire".

Fans have been watching two versions of Black Mirror's "Bête Noire" without knowing it. It's a smart play on a popular urban myth, causing quite a stir on the internet.

Black Mirror fans just realized they've been hoodwinked. An X user shared screenshots of a scene from Season 2's "Bête Noire", alleging Netflix has been streaming alternate versions of the episode to audiences. This isn't the first time the show has gone full meta: "Bandersnatch" was interactive, "Nosedive" criticized social media, and "Joan Is Awful" poked fun at streaming services. "Bête Noire" toyed with the Mandela Effect, a supposed phenomenon where large groups of people remember different versions of the same event.

So my friend and I were watching the new Black Mirror episode “Bête Noire” and we noticed that there was a stark difference between our episodes…...

Exclusive: Paris-based Mmm Film Sales has acquired international rights for A Second Life, starring Agathe Rousselle (Titane) and Alex Lawther (The End of the F**ing World) ahead of its Tribeca premiere.

Set against the backdrop of the Paris 2024 Olympics, thefollows the emotional journey of a hearing-impaired woman in her thirties navigating personal upheaval during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

It is Slama’s third feature after 2019 Netflix Original Paris Is Us and Roaring 20s (Années 20), which also premiered at Tribeca in 2021, winning the Best Cinematography.

Slama signed both two feature films under the pseudonym of Elisabeth Vogler, taken from Liv Ullmann’s character in Ingmar Bergman’s psychological drama Persona.

As with Slama’s previous work, the film was shot entirely on location in Paris, with production taking place during the Olympics, at a time when most shoots in the city were on hold.

The struggle against the Empire continues. Three years after the first season of Andor redefined what a modern Star Wars show could be, the Disney+ series about the early days of the Rebel Alliance is finally returning for Season 2. Since creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy has crafted such a detail-oriented story, it’s understandable if we all need a refresher on where we left off with Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his comrades and the Imperial officers trying to stop them.

Who are the main characters of Andor?

As the title makes clear, the series mainly revolves around Cassian, who first appeared in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Gilroy, who cowrote the screenplay for Rogue One and directed uncredited reshoots, has been using the show to flesh out Cassian’s backstory and that of the Rebel Alliance writ large. Interestingly, Andor viewers already know how the hero will die...

Although the 21st century has seen a terrific rise in prestige television that has expanded the possibilities of prolonged storytelling, “Black Mirror” has been an experiment like no other. The BBC series, which gradually shifted to Netflix, is an anthology story examining the various sinister ways technology has complicated sociology, politics, and morality as it rapidly expands its grasp on everyday life. While the obvious comparison is to “The Twilight Zone,” “Black Mirror” exists within a gray area in which the stories don’t necessarily feel supernatural. While not specifically intended to be predictive, “Black Mirror” has succeeded in sparking debates that are either likely to come up in the near future or have already become relevant.

“Black Mirror” has returned for a surprising comeback in its seventh season, which includes some groundbreaking new concepts and clever sequels to previously established storylines. While an episode like “Eulogy” aimed to be a more heartfelt,...

If there’s one thing Star Wars fans can agree on, besides the fact that lightsabers are objectively the coolest weapons ever, it’s that Andor is a masterclass in storytelling. The series doesn’t just explore the Rebellion’s gritty origins, it practically pulls you into the rebellion itself. And a huge part of that immersion? The phenomenal casting.

Turns out, showrunner Tony Gilroy knew exactly what he wanted for two of the series’ most pivotal roles and never even bothered looking elsewhere. Talk about love at first audition! But let’s be real, casting in a galaxy far, far away isn’t always a straightforward process. For every perfect fit, there are countless auditions, callbacks, and chemistry tests.

Alien: Earth is just around the corner and fans are finally getting a look at the interstellar horrors it has in store. The series hails from creator-showrunner Noah Hawley (FX's Fargo) and comes on the heels of a reignited Alien-mania started with Alien: Romulus, the first theatrical franchise entry in seven years which was a critical and commercial success.

A new clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), sees a spacecraft carrying multiple Xenomorph specimens who break loose. They tear their way through the crew before the ship crashes down on Earth, paving the way for new breeds of the hybrids to emerge in the aftermath.

Ahead of its summer release on Disney+, here’s a new trailer for Alien: Earth, the incoming TV show…

We must admit, we’re really enjoying the promotional campaign for this summer’s Alien: Earth, the upcoming FX/Disney+ series which will bring the world of xenomorphs and questionable human behaviour to the small screen for the first time. We’ve already seen short trailers that gave us what looked like a sheep’s eye, then another preview that went full xenomorph Pov. Now we get another quick glimpse of an exciting scene and a few other shots of the series beyond.

Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Timothy Olyphant, Kit Young, Adarsh Gourav, David Rysdahl, Babou Ceesay, Lily Newmark, Adrian Edmondson, Sandra Yi Sencindiver and Moe Bar-El co-star in the series, which is set two years before the events of Alien.

As the title suggests, the long-running franchise is expected to...

Following some brief promos, FX has finally released a full teaser for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, which begins with the first clip from the upcoming sci-fi horror series.

The footage finds a man sitting in a very Nostromo-esque control room as his crewmate desperately tries to convince him to open the door and let her in. The woman then turns to face whatever has been stalking her, and we get a first look at one of the show's Xenomorphs on the attack.

Hawley has hinted that the series will introduce a new breed of the iconic creature, though it's difficult to make out any significant changes to the classic design here.

As the Xeno dispatches its victim, the man - possibly the ship's android - tells the computer that the crew is dead. Though we don't know for sure, we assume this is what remains of the crew of the Uscss Maginot,...

Ridley Scott's iconic Alien film has spawned a franchise of Xenomorph-fronted films and a bevy of loyal fans. And now the house that Ripley built is headed to the small screen under the tutelage of Fargo and Legion creator, Noah Hawley, with Alien: Earth. In a new clip that was first shared with shareholders during a spectacle-laden call for shareholders with Disney CEO, Bob Iger, the tension and stakes of the original films feels alive and well — though that may be the only thing alive by the time the titular alien arrives on our planet.

The series, which also recently had a new trailer revealed at SXSW, is said to follow a young woman (played by Sydney Chandler) and a "ragtag group of tactical soldiers" who make "a fateful discovery" after "a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth ... that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat." The tense...

Fans get their first look at all the interstellar horror to come in Alien: Earth.

In a March 22 X post, fans can catch the first clip from the hotly anticipated next entry in the Alien franchise - Alien: Earth. The clip opens to the sight of a spacecraft carrying multiple Xenomorph specimens who break loose and tear their way through the crew, all before the ship crashes down on Earth, paving the way for countless new breeds of horrifying hybrids to emerge in the aftermath.

Last Updated on March 24, 2025

If we’re going to get a full-blown revival of the Alien franchise, believe us when we say we are all in. While Ridley Scott’s most recent attempts to resurrect the series – 2012’s Prometheus and 2017’s Alien: Covenant – were huge letdowns (even Scott thinks so), Fede Álvarez did his part in generating genuine interest with last year’s Alien: Romulus. Now, the franchise is getting its first-ever live-action show via Alien: Earth, which is set to air on FX on Hulu later this year.

While we have seen multiple looks at Alien: Earth, this latest clip shows off the sort of suspense and design that makes the Alien franchise so distinct, with a character banging on the doors of a spacecraft screaming, “Let me in – it’s coming!” as another updates the crew status. Spoiler: they’re probably going to be losing one real soon…...

A brand-new clip for ‘Alien: Earth’ just dropped! This upcoming series is set to hit Hulu this summer, bringing the eerie world of the Alien franchise right to our screens. If you’re like me, you’re already counting down the days to dive into this sci-fi horror adventure.

The show comes from Noah Hawley, the creative mind behind ‘Fargo’ and ‘Legion.’ It’s his take on the Alien universe, and he’s promising something fresh yet familiar.

‘Alien: Earth’ is a prequel, set about 30 years before the original 1979 ‘Alien’ film that started it all. This time, the action unfolds on our planet, a big shift from the space-bound terror we’re used to. Hawley’s got a knack for blending tension and storytelling, so I’m expecting a wild ride.

A mysterious spacecraft crashes on Earth, and a young woman named Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler, teams up with a rough-and-tough group of soldiers.

The Twilight Zone is one of the most brilliant and trippy series ever made. Created by Rod Serling, the CBS series is a virtual and psychologically thrilling trip into the unknown. The Twilight Zone premiered over six decades ago, and it still holds up very well as far as the stories and the visual experience go. Maybe that’s why the Jordan Peele reboot failed: it couldn’t capture the same magic as the Serling series did.

Wamg was at SXSW in Austin for FX’s Alien: Earth immersive experience and faced down the beasts. Encountering the Xenomorphs, facehuggers (but don’t call them that…not yet) and a mysterious wreckage site, the event was the first of a series of three immersive experiences that will pop up in the months leading up to the Summer 2025 premiere on Hulu.

FX’s Alien: Earth immersive experience was intense. From the moment fans step inside, they will find interactive elements and pulse-pounding thrills that bring the series to life. But beware – not all creatures survived the crash intact, a containment breach has occurred and hidden dangers lurk within.

This scary experience is a Must for Alien fans and one to seek out if it comes to your city. It’s a scary journey and one that will get you ready for Alien: Earth.

The xenomorphs will soon be crashing to Earth, and now we know a few more people they may or may not be having for lunch. Later this year, FX will premiere Alien: Earth, its new television series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley. Set two years before the original Alien film, the series will explore how the massive corporations ruling Earth came to learn about the xenomorph.

Alien: Earth wrapped filming back in July 2024, but many of the details about the series have been kept under wraps. That's starting to change. Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed 11n new cast members who will play guest starring roles in Alien: Earth. The new actors joining the series are Richa Moorjani (Fargo), Karen Aldridge, Enzo Cilenti (Game of Thrones), Max Rinehart (Unforgotten), Amir Boutrous (The Crown), Victoria Masoma, Tom Moya, Andy Yu (Fargo), Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters), Jamie Bisping (The Rings of Power) and Tanapol Chuksrida.

While we're still waiting on a full trailer, FX recently released some snippets of new footage (see below) for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, and we now have a series of short "Secret Transmission" teasers which appear to document the events that lead to the Uscss Maginot crash-landing on Earth.

There are quite a few classic Alien callbacks here, including very familiar computer sounds, garbled transmissions, interiors that look quite a bit like the Nostromo from Ridley Scott's film, and a cat that could very easily pass for Jonesy.

The first clip begins with a crew member fixing a camera to the cat's head, and our new feline friend ends up recording some kind of red alert event that sends the crew into a panic. We also see someone in a cryosleep pod, and we're willing to bet that this guy is just bursting to get off the ship...

The Alien saga continues with a mysterious package containing five (!) new clips. FX is in full promo mode, having already shown a clip of the Xenomorph from their upcoming series Alien: Earth in a recent, larger promo video for their 2025 lineup. The upcoming spinoff to the iconic sci-fi franchise is set two years before the events of Ridley Scott's original 1979 film, in the year 2120, when five corporations – Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold – control all technological advancement, promising the world a new tomorrow. Helmed by Fargo and Legion creator Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth is already heavily tied to the original film, but the data drive that we received from FX shows a possibly familiar furry friend showing audiences around the soon-to-crash Uscss Maginot.

Files on the data drive may offer clues to the ship's mission." Check out all five teasers below.
