Alien: Earth serves as the first-ever TV show tied to the Alien franchise, positioned as a prequel two years before the original 1979 film. This places it in 2120, slightly ahead of earlier prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Initially, showrunner Noah Hawley considered its timeline relative to the events of Aliens. However, the production evolved, resulting in a decision to align more closely with the original movie, creating a definitive link to the established lore of the Alien universe.
The series takes place two years before the original 1979 movie, making it a direct prequel to Alien, unique compared to previous prequel films.
Showrunner Noah Hawley previously considered the show existing around the timeline of Aliens, suggesting a shift in the series' narrative direction over production.
