One of many first issues we heard concerning the Alien TV sequence – and probably the most shocking issues about it – is that it will likely be set on Earth (thus the title), a few many years earlier than the occasions of the primary film.

However the setting is definitely 2120, which is simply a few years earlier than Alien. Hawley determined to set the present on Earth as a result of “The alien stories are always trapped… Trapped in a prison, trapped in a space ship. I thought it would be interesting to open it up a little bit so that the stakes of ‘What happens if you can’t contain it?’ are more immediate.“ Variety noted that the Alien TV series will “explore the formation of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race to create android life.”
