Those looking to watch Alien: Earth for free are in luck. Alien: Earth premieres tonight on FX and Hulu , bringing the nearly five-decade-old sci-fi/horror franchise to life on the small screen for the first time. For those who love the franchise but aren't subscribed to streaming services, there is another option available.
Alien: Earth is set before Alien , meaning the TV series will be a prequel to Ridley Scott's original film. It's been well-documented that the show will be ignoring many of the lore additions from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant , so those who are avid fans of the 2010s prequels should brace themselves for a fresh approach to the canon.
FX's prequel show is developed by Noah Hawley, an exceptional TV writer regarded for titles like Fargo and Legio
