"Alien: Earth" asks if humans are worst monsters

FX's new "Alien: Earth" series will explore the franchise's recurring theme: whether humans are the worst monsters. The show will feature both human and extraterrestrial threats. The series, premiering August 12, centers on Wendy, a human-robot hybrid played by Sydney Chandler, who navigates these two monster types. The show's creator, Noah Hawley, drew inspiration from previous films, particularly the question of humanity's survival. Hawley aims to explore the innocence of youth through Wendy's perspective, contrasting it with the complexities of adult experiences. The series will be available on FX and Hulu.
