Overview

• The FX series from creator Noah Hawley premiered with two episodes on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally and is now releasing weekly.
• Collider reports the show reached No. 1 on both platforms across more than 25 countries, with early Rotten Tomatoes scores at 96% from critics and 74% from audiences.
• Set in 2120, the story sits two years before the original Alien and centers on corporate power struggles and new human‑to‑synthetic “hybrids.”
• Men’s Health notes Hawley treats the series as a standalone prequel, steering clear of Prometheus and Covenant origin threads to echo the original film’s analog tone.
• Cast interviews describe an unnerving character moment that underscores the show’s existential questions about identity without relying solely on creature horror.
