Sigourney Weaver Praises Alien: Earth, Says She Won’t Watch It Alone

Her endorsement underscores the series’ wider ambitions beyond creature horror.

Overview

  • Weaver said she is too scared to watch Alien: Earth by herself and makes viewing plans with her husband.
  • She noted she did not receive advance screeners and is “watching it like a real person.”
  • Calling the show “beautifully cast and beautifully done,” she praised Noah Hawley’s broader focus on our world and the role of greed.
  • The series takes place in 2120, two years before the 1979 original, and follows rival corporations after a spacecraft crash on Earth.
  • Her remarks mark a shift from past comments in which she dismissed the idea of bringing the franchise to Earth as “boring.”
