Hulu just released a video clip of Noah Hawley's upcoming "Alien: Earth" and it looks as terrifying as we could've hoped for. You can watch the clip below.

It opens on what appears to be a ship, not unlike the Nostromo, where everything has gone wrong. Morrow, the character played by Babou Ceesay, communicates with someone in the same kind of chamber where characters like Ian Holm's Ash and Sigourney Weaver's Ripley conversed with the AI Mother in 1979's "Alien." As a female crew mate pounds on the door to be let in, Morrow ignores her and hums nonchalantly, suggesting he may be an android like Ash.

Morrow informs whoever he's communicating with that the "specimens are loose." In the meantime, a xenomorph outside the chamber overtakes his crewmate and seemingly kills her.
Morrow is asked about the crew's status and he responds, "Crew Dead."
We see shots of Sydney Chandler as her character Wendy, a river winding through hills, a squad of soldiers advancing through the landscape with weapons drawn, and finally one of the monstrous xenomorphs looking about to strike one of the actors.
The official logline of the series states, "When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat."
The series stars Sydney Chandler ("Don't Worry Darling"), Alex Lawther ("Andor"), Timothy Olyphant ("Justified"), Samuel Blenkin ("Black Mirror"), David Rysdahl ("No Exit"), Essie Davis ("The Matrix Revolutions"), Adarsh Gourav ("The White Tiger"), Babou Ceesay ('Free Fire"), Diem Camille ("The Wheel of Time"), Moe Bar-El ("The Peripheral"), Erana James ("The Wilds"), and Kit Young ("Shadow and Bone").
The show is directed and written by Hawley with both Hawley and Ridley Scott executive producing.
The "Alien" saga began with 1979's "Alien" directed by Ridley Scott. It was followed by "Aliens," "Alien 3," and "Alien Resurrection." These first four films all starred Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, who would often prove to be one of the only survivors of each chapter. After two non-canonical "Alien vs. Predator" crossover films, Scott returned to the franchise with the prequel films "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant." The most recent entry, released last year, was "Alien: Romulus," directed by Fede Álvarez.
"Alien: Earth" releases on Hulu this summer.
