Hulu’s latest sci-fi thriller, which has earned an impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is taking over streaming charts. The streamer premiered the first two episodes of Alien: Earth this week, and the show has soared to the top spot on both Hulu in America and Disney+ globally.

A lien filmmaker Ridley Scott had a simple five-word reaction to seeing the set of the new FX series inspired by his 1979 masterpiece. Created by Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley, the eight-part series serves as a prequel to the original film set in a dark vision of the future dominated by corporations.

With Alien: Earth launching today, FX has released a new trailer fans of the original Alien movie are sure to enjoy. FX has remade the original Alien movie trailer with material from Alien: Earth, complete with similar shots, the same sounds, and re-jigged effects.

Set in 2120, it hinges on a batch of alien and various mutating specimens who crash-land on Earth in a research vessel that’s owned by one of five corporations that now rule during this Corporate Era — a chillingly plausible schematic.

In adapting "Alien" for television, writer/director Noah Hawley is looking to score another hit along the lines of his "Fargo" transformation.
