After Alien: Romulus conquered the cinema screens last year, the financially successful sci-fi blockbuster has recently also been available to stream on Disney+. Fans can also look forward to more supplies, as work on a Romulus sequel has already begun.

Fans can look forward to a new series this year, which is scheduled to come to Disney+ in summer 2025. Alien: Earth is set in the year 2120, where a spaceship carrying a specific, extremely dangerous cargo crashes on Earth. A woman named Wendy (Sydney Chandler), her synthetic mentor Krish (Timothy Olyphant) and a number of soldiers try to prevent the worst.
