Alien arrives on Earth in August.

The new series Alien: Earth will premiere with two episodes on August 12th, airing on Hulu and FX in the US, or Disney Plus internationally. Thanks to Deadline we also have a first look at the cast kitted out, and know more about the plot, which hinges on the creation of the first “hybrid” androids, “infused with human consciousness.”

We’re still waiting for the show’s first trailer, but its early teasers have been... icky.

<em>Timothy Olyphant’s Kirsh looks to be part of the same organization.</em>
<em>Alex Lawther, Diêm Camille, and Moe Bar-El look likely to come face-to-face with a Xenomorph or two.</em>
<em>Sandra Yi Sencindiver plays a Yutani — yes, one of those Yutanis.</em>
