Alien: Earth preview confirms only one Xenomorph, features new images & interviews!

Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth TV series was finally given an August 12th release date and outlets are beginning to roll out their summer previews for the show! Entertainment Weekly have kicked things off with an exclusive feature packed with fresh images from the show and interviews with the shows lead Sydney Chandler and showrunner Noah Hawley. The interview confirms the show will only feature one Xenomorph, among other hostile organisms which crash-land on Earth. Read on for important excerpts!

Audiences will meet Wendy on Alien: Earth in the timeline of 2120, just a few years before the launch of the USCSS Nostromo spaceship from 1979's Alien. In this not-so-distant future reality that's full of synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) and cyborgs (humans with artificially enhanced body parts), Wendy is a hybrid, a robot infused with human consciousness. More specifically, she has a child's brain in a bot's body.

Wendy and the hybrids play into that power struggle, but she physically gets in on the action when a Weyland-Yutani spaceship crash lands in Prodigy City. She and her fellow hybrids are sent to investigate the site, leading to the encounter of mysterious life forms — including one ferocious Xenomorph.

Hawley elaborates, “I feel like the Alien franchise has a female identity, both with Ripley's character in the films and then, of course, the fact that the aliens themselves are matriarchal, they have a queen. It feels very much like a female-focused show. Sydney’s character is someone who's trying to figure out what her role is in this world and, on some level, the age-old question of, does humanity deserve to survive?”

Oh my god, Timothy Olyphant looks amazing as a Synth, very Roy Batty (according to the director, the look was Olyphant's choice). The Westworld/Caprica vibes are off the charts now, totally can't wait to see the series.
