The series will blend elements from Ridley Scott’s 1979 original Alien film and the 1986 follow-up Aliens, but with a fresh narrative set 30 years before the original movie.
The plot focuses on the infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and their race to create advanced android life forms, providing audiences with a deeper look at the corporation’s dark ambitions and the early days of technological experimentation that define the Alien universe. Set on Earth, Alien: Earth promises to deliver both suspense and thrilling action. Gourav is poised to play a pivotal role that will leave a lasting impact on the franchise.
Sharing his excitement, Adarsh said, "Shooting Alien: Earth was an unreal experience. I am over the moon to be part of the Alien universe. Having grown up op Ridley Scott’s Alien films which had a key influence on me – the tension, the world-building, the sense of awe and the world they created. To now be part of this iconic franchise is surreal.”
The show will air on FX in the United States and on Disney+ in the United Kingdom.
