The countdown to the Alien: Earth finale has begun. Since debuting in August, Noah Hawley’s sci-fi horror series gives us our closest, bloodiest look yet at the origins of the iconic xenomorph. With the penultimate seventh episode now streaming on Disney+, you have just one week to get caught up before the conclusion airs.
For those who haven’t yet braved a trip to the year 2120, the first TV series in the legendary Alien franchise takes place on a remote research island, right here on Earth. The story centres on Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler), a ‘hybrid’ android with a human consciousness, created by the Prodigy corporation. When an extraterrestrial vessel crashes nearby, Wendy and a team of soldiers go looking for survivors. It’s hardly a spoiler to say that they find more than they bargained for (ie, a great big spooky alien).
