What is ‘Alien: Earth’ about, and where does it fit in the ‘Alien’ chronology?
Set at a specific point in the Alien timeline, Alien: Earth takes place shortly after ’Prometheus' but two years before the events of the first ‘Alien’ movie on the Nostromo ship.
Here’s the official blurb:
“In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype, named ‘Wendy,’ marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, ‘Wendy’ and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.”
