It's clear now, Prometheus laid the foundation for Alien: Earth's plot direction! Peter Weyland's oobsession with attaining immortality and positioning Humanity on the same level as their creators has become the obsession of all corporate interests in Alien: Earth! The series which airs August 12th this summer, takes place 30 years after the events of Ridley Scott's first Alien prequel - and it appears that in that time, rival corporations took a play out of Weyland's book.
A newly revised plot synopsis for Alien: Earth reveals the series will explore 5 corporations, each investigating their own technologies involving Cyborgs and Synthetics in an attempt to attain immortality and it's the Prodigy Corporation which introduces the first ever Human Hybrid, check it out:

When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (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 Alien: Earth.
In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness).
The first hybrid prototype, named Wendy (Chandler), marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides with Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

So it appears Weyland-Yutani's research vessel packed with experimental Alien life forms crashes on Prodigy's doorstep and we'll get to see how Hybrid Humans deal with the outbreak. Certainly a fascinating concept!
