Both new and familiar alien lifeforms lurk around in the Disney series “Alien: Earth,” based on the original 1979 Ridley Scott "Alien" movie.

Alien: Earth follows a mysterious space vessel that crash-lands on Earth. Further, Wendy and her group of soldiers end up making a shocking discovery, where they need to face the planet’s biggest threat.

The Disney+ show takes place in the iconic sci-fi franchise first created by Ridley Scott in 1979, and it has interesting connections to the original.
