Alien: Earth Soars With 9.2 Million Views in Six Days
The premiere of Alien: Earth has made a huge impact, pulling in an impressive 9.2 million views worldwide in just its first six days. That number only reflects viewership from Hulu and Disney+, meaning even more eyes were on it through FX’s channel broadcasts. Clearly, fans were eager to dive back into the world of Xenomorphs — but this time, in a fresh television format.

The show is being treated as a major milestone in the Alien franchise, since this is its very first television outing. Set in the year 2120, just two years before the events of the original 1979 film, Alien: Earth drops viewers into a future dominated by five powerful corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. Humanity is no longer alone in its own skin. Cyborgs, with both biological and mechanical parts, exist. Synthetics — artificial beings designed to look and act like humans — live alongside them. But a whole new twist arrives when the Prodigy Corporation unveils hybrids: humanoid robots infused with actual human consciousness.
At the center of this story is Wendy, the first hybrid prototype. Played by Sydney Chandler, Wendy isn’t just a machine — she’s a living experiment in the race toward immortality. Her very existence sparks questions of identity, control, and survival in a world where corporations are chasing power at any cost. But everything changes when a Weyland-Yutani spaceship crashes into Prodigy City, unleashing something far more dangerous than any boardroom rival: the terrifying life forms fans of the franchise know all too well — the Xenomorphs.
What has captivated audiences further is the way Alien: Earth builds mystery into Wendy’s journey. Episode three revealed something chilling: Wendy seems to experience physical pain whenever a Xenomorph is operated on. Viewers saw her collapse in agony as scientists dissected one of the creatures, suggesting some strange link between her consciousness and the alien species. While some may believe it’s a psychic bond, the show hints at something more scientific — Wendy’s hearing operates beyond normal human frequencies, picking up sounds that no one else can detect. It’s not sympathy she feels, but resonance. The aliens scream at frequencies only she can hear, connecting her fate to theirs in a way that is both haunting and ominous.
Created by Noah Hawley, with legendary Ridley Scott serving as executive producer, the series doesn’t just rely on the Xenomorphs for scares. It’s painting a much larger picture about humanity’s future, corporate control, and what it truly means to be alive. With a cast that includes Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, and Essie Davis, the performances are helping anchor the high-stakes, eerie storytelling.
Nine million views in under a week show just how hungry audiences are for new stories in this universe. Alien: Earth has successfully pulled the franchise from film into television — and if early numbers are anything to go by, it has already secured its place as a must-watch sci-fi event.
