FX has dropped a new teaser trailer for Alien: Earth

During the AFC Championship game, the new teaser of Alien: Earth dropped. Since the show will be released in summer 2025 and the intense teaser shows a Xenomorph, after escaping its containment, is heading towards earth in a spacecraft.

The harrowing creature is shown to be prowling through the dimly-lit corridors of the spaceship and, as red lights flicker, a chilling automated voice keeps saying in the background:

Containment breach.

Creator Hawley told Deadline in September 2024:

“There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes. That is truly chilling to think of it moving here among us, and so I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see that, but you’ll see it — and you’re going to lock your door that night.”

The teaser shows the Xenomorph slamming violently on a window of the ship after navigating through a sea of exposed wires and other extraterrestrial creatures. This short trailer has set the tone for horror and sci-fi thrills that promise to dictate the themes of the show.
