The series by creator Noah Hawley is described as a spin-off to the original Ridley Scott-directed film, " Alien ," from 1979. The film follows a space crew aboard the starship, Nostromo, who are on their journey back home when they receive a distress call from an alien vessel.

"Alien: Earth" Season 1 had a two-episode premiere Tuesday and will play out over the course of six more episodes. Sydney Chandler and Alex Lawther star.

Moreover, because Barrie’s work isn’t quite as anodyne and sweet as Disney’s animated film.

Earth features an opening scene that closely resembles the iconic 1979 film, recreating its atmosphere and key plot points.
