Earth,' premiered Aug. 12, 2025, and premieres new episodes weekly. Here's everything to know about when 'Alien: Earth' episodes are released and how many episodes there are.

The "Alien" franchise gets an exciting new entry in its first TV series, "Alien: Earth," which explores life on our planet in the context of the hunt for xenomorphs to study and weaponize. The franchise's timeline has become increasingly confusing since the initial film was released in the late 1970s.

The series by creator Noah Hawley is described as a spin-off to the original Ridley Scott-directed film, " Alien ," from 1979. The film follows a space crew aboard the starship, Nostromo, who are on their journey back home when they receive a distress call from an alien vessel.
