Alien: Earth wants to take you back in time. The new FX series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley serves as a prequel to Ridley Scott’s original Alien movie, focused on the planet that Ripley and co. left behind.

Earth has Xenomorphs, a synthetic-human hybrid, and some new extra-terrestrial creatures we weren't expecting.
