Newcomer Sydney Chandler joins Australia's own Essie Davis and Timothy Olyphant in a series that picks up before the events of Ridley Scott's 1979 hit Alien.

Alien: Earth was created by Fargo's Noah Hawley and boasts a talented cast, including Sydney Chandler (who plays Wendy), Alex Lawther (who plays Wendy's brother, Hermit), Timothy Olyphant (who plays Kirsh), Samuel Blenkin (who plays Boy Kavalier) and Babou Ceesay (who plays security officer Morrow).

"Our show does take you to the trillionaires and the upper class," series creator Noah Hawley tells EW. A scene that arrives in episode 2 of Alien: Earth 's two-part premiere Tuesday night gives you a clear indication of the kind of show this is.
