If you’re a fan of Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979), then Alien: Earth on Hulu is definitely a must-watch for you. Helmed by showrunner Noah Hawley, the project was supposed to be just another ordinary flick in the Alien franchise. However, it seems that the project has received worldwide fame and critical acclaim for being too damn good.

The show is set before the events of the 1979 movie and thus serves as a prequel to the Ridley Scott movie. The premise of the story follows a team of ragtag soldiers who accidentally discover a spaceship that has crash-landed on Earth. Unfortunately, they come face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.

Alien: Earth Has Received Rave Reviews

At the moment of writing, Alien: Earth currently stands at a rating of 8.2/10 on IMDb and a whopping 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Starring Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, and more in leading roles, Alien: Earth is one of the best-rated projects in the franchise, and it’s all thanks to Noah Hawley.

Of course, with the news that an Alien vs Predator movie might be in the works, it is safe to assume that the Alien franchise will continue to expand rapidly, especially after the success that Alien: Earth has received.

Although it cannot be confirmed or denied, the only thing that we can do is wait and watch (and possibly look out for alien spaceships) as Alien: Earth continues to expand the Alien franchise with more episodes and an eventually better future.

Alien: Earth is currently available to stream on Hulu (USA).
