When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, "Wendy" (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 in FX's Alien: Earth.
In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named "Wendy" marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, "Wendy" and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
Led by Chandler, the series showcases an expansive international cast, which includes Timothy Olyphant ("Kirsh"), Alex Lawther ("Hermit"), Samuel Blenkin ("Boy Kavalier"), Babou Ceesay ("Morrow"), Adrian Edmondson ("Atom Eins"), David Rysdahl ("Arthur Sylvia"), Essie Davis ("Dame Sylvia"), Lily Newmark ("Nibs"), Erana James ("Curly"), Adarsh Gourav ("Slightly"), Jonathan Ajayi ("Smee"), Kit Young ("Tootles"), Diêm Camille ("Siberian"), Moe Bar-El ("Rashidi") and Sandra Yi Sencindiver ("Yutani").
