Yes, the director Noah Hawley, in an interview during The Emmy Awards already revealed to Deadline that the Xenomorphs will change depending on who is the Host.

"There's something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of the Earth with your own eyes, that is truly chilling. But you gonna see that and lock your doors that night." He added, "I wanted to engage more with the creature, bring some of my own thoughts to its design while not touching the silhouette. But some of the elements purely depend on whatever the host is. "

The trailer further confirms the coming of the deadly creature in the wilds of the earth. A fluttering sound accompanies the creature in the trailer, this suggests that it is Xenomorph further creating tension about the aftermath of its arrival on Earth. The official description of the show reads,

"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 in FX’s highly anticipated TV series Alien: Earth from creator Noah Hawley,"

Therefore, this creates uncertainty about the dangerous catastrophic consequences it will cause on the Earth.
