Con. Disney unveiled details about “Tron: Ares,” which stars Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges and Greta Lee at an evening presentation in Comic-Con's famed Hall H. It will be the third feature film in the “Tron” franchise that kicked off with the hit 1982 film and had a 2010 sequel,
"Alien: Earth" arrives in less than a month, and I'm getting increasingly excited (and a little worried) about my most anticipated TV show of 2025.
Set in 2120, just two years before the events of the original Alien, Alien: Earth introduces viewers to Wendy (Sydney Chandler), a twelve-year-old girl put into a synthetic adult body by Prodigy, one of five mega corporations on the planet, along with the familiar antagonist company Weyland-Yutani.
Per Variety, FX as a network and showrunner Noah Hawley are aiming for Alien: Earth to hit at the same level as mega-blockbuster genre shows Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. In other words, a sweeping drama that draws in fans with a web of interconnected characters and stories, centered on a core cast.

"Alien: Earth" is landing soon. From the stimulating looks of this bloody-good new trailer for the 8-episode " Alien: Earth " series from "Fargo" creator Noah Hawley's, the visionary filmmaker has no hesitation to terrify viewers when the ambitious sci-fi series hatches on FX and Hulu starting on Aug. 12, 2025.
Timeline-wise, it jumps way back. Each story sits in its historical pocket, way before almost all the other Predator or Alien movies. These are the oldest Predator hunts we’ve seen—unless you count Prey from 1719, which barely squeaks in earlier.
Another intergral part of the Alien franchise is that, yes, the aliens are brutal killers. But the humans who are trying to capture them are often worse. That’s why Alien: Earth will feature an equally important story centered on a technological race, personified by those hybrid characters.
According to Hawley, “Alien: Earth” unfolds during the height of the Corporate Era, when a Weyland-Yutani vessel transporting alien lifeforms crash-lands on Earth, specifically on land owned by a powerful tech giant called the Prodigy Corporation.
