Alien: Earth serves as a prequel to the 1979 film Alien, taking place shortly before the original events with Ripley. The series occurs over 15 years after the Prometheus films and delves into a near-future where five corporations dominate Earth. A central theme highlights the underlying threat of capitalism, with the show focusing on a group of synths under the corporation Prodigy and its founder, Boy Kavalier. The intricacies of the Alien timeline and the nature of Xenomorphs add complexity to the narrative.
