Plot Set Before Original Film

Set in 2120, two years before the events of the 1979 Alien film, Alien: Earth unfolds during the “Corporate Era,” where five mega-corporations—Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold—dominate Earth. The story centers on Boy Kavalier, Prodigy’s young CEO, who develops “Hybrids,” artificial humanoids with human consciousness, led by the prototype Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler. A catastrophic crash of the Weyland-Yutani vessel USCSS Maginot sets the stage for a high-stakes confrontation with alien threats, captivating fans of the franchise.
