Alien: Earth Storyline

The show is set around the same time Ellen Ripley battles for survival in space aboard the Nostromo. In Alien: Earth, a Weyland-Yutani research vessel crashes into a residential high-rise on Earth, bringing alien creatures with it.

The story follows rival corporations Weyland-Yutani and Prodigy. While Weyland-Yutani’s vessel carries samples of five alien species, Prodigy has developed technology to transfer human consciousness into synthetic bodies. This process has only succeeded with terminally ill children, including Wendy and her friends Nibs, Slightly, Smee, Curly, and Tootles.

When the crash endangers Wendy’s brother Hermit, she leads a mission to rescue him. She is joined by the synthetic Kirsh and faces opposition from cyborg Morrow.
