Alien: Earth episode 1 is available on August 12 on Hulu, FX and Disney Plus from 5:00 PM Pacific/8:00 PM Eastern. That's on August 13 at 1:00 AM BST in the UK. The second episode will also be streaming at that time, with it also airing on FX at 9:30 PM Eastern.

Expanding the ever-growing Alien universe with fresh layers of depth and nuance, the first two episodes — “Neverland” and “Mr. October”— are packed with references, Easter eggs, and subtle callbacks to previous films, along with clever nods to other corners of pop culture.

Alien: Earth is also uncharted territory for the franchise, bringing the Xenomorphs to home turf for the first time (the end of Resurrection doesn’t count). So, with the show kicking off on Hulu and Disney Plus, this is what you need to know about the timeline.
