Following the disappointing reception of Alien: Covenant, and Disney's Fox acquisition, Fede Álvarez's Alien has finally got a release date and the film will be out on August 16, 2024.

The film hasn't yet been officially titled, however, it reportedly showed up in a production listing posted by the Film & Television Industry Alliance as Alien: Romulus. While details regarding the plot of the film are limited, at the moment synopsis for the film reads, "In this ninth entry in the immensely popular and enduring film series, a group of young people on a distant world find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe." 

The film is set to star Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, Archie Renaux, David Jonsson, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu. Apart from the new film, work is also underway on an Alien TV series which is to be separate from Álvarez's project. The series will be lead by Noah Hawley and will star Sydney Chandler (Don't Worry Darling). That project does not currently have a release date yet.
