A xenomorph from Alien Covenant.
Summary Noah Hawley has announced the title for his FX Alien prequel series and, in so doing, has revealed that another franchise retcon is imminent. Alien: Earth had already been placed within the Alien timeline, set around 30 years before the original film. Now the location of the show is confirmed, concerns about its execution have risen.
2 Alien: Earth's Timeline & Setting Mean There Shouldn't Be Any Aliens The Deep Space Setting Of The Original Films Are Essential Close According to preexisting Alien lore, the titular aliens should not exist on Earth. Ridley Scott's sequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, though controversial additions to the franchise, exist to explain the origin of the xenomorphs.
If xenomorphs had already reached Earth, as looks to be the case in the Hawley series, it would not make sense for Weyland-Yutani to be so desperate to acquire a specimen to study. In fact, at this point in the chronology, Weyland-Yutani proper shouldn't even exist. In Prometheus, the corporations are still separate entities. This inconsistency will not concern Hawley, however, who has claimed that Prometheus and Alien: Covenant will be irrelevant to the FX series.
Another Big Retcon Is The Last Thing The Alien Franchise Needs Alien Prequels Were Let Down By Over-Complicated World-Building It's hard to imagine Alien: Earth not featuring some form of the monster that made the franchise so iconic. Whether Hawley decides to erase Scott's world-building completely, or perform writing gymnastics to allow his series to tie-in, there's potential to further complicate an already messy canon.
