Alien: Earth Season 1 finale premieres Sept. 23 on FX and Hulu
The eight-episode sci‑fi drama closes its debut run with the finale 'The Real Monsters,' as Wendy and the Lost Boys face a final surge of threats.
FX's Alien: Earth will close its first season with Episode 8, 'The Real Monsters,' airing tonight, Sept. 23, 2025. The eight‑episode run reimagines the Alien franchise by sending a ship carrying five different aliens to crash on a corporate‑controlled Earth, where Boy Kavalier — played by Samuel Blenkin — commands a team of hybrids, children whose psyches have been uploaded into synthetic bodies, to round up the intruders. So far this season, Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler, has tamed a Xenomorph; a Fly devoured a hybrid named Tootles; and an Eye has taken control of a sheep. The finale is expected to intensify these threats and push Wendy and the Lost Boys toward a confrontation that could redefine the fates of those characters and the world they inhabit.
FX and Hulu will stream the Season 1 finale at 8 p.m. ET. On FX, the episode is set for 8 p.m. ET or 8 p.m. PT, with Hulu making the episode available worldwide at 8 p.m. ET. The eight‑episode arc began Aug. 12 with Episode 1, 'Neverland,' and Episode 2, 'Mr. October,' on the same date, then continued with Episode 3 on Aug. 19 ('Metamorphosis'), Episode 4 on Aug. 26 ('Observation'), Episode 5 on Sept. 2 ('In Space, No One…'), Episode 6 on Sept. 9 ('The Fly'), and Episode 7 on Sept. 16 ('Emergence').
FX has not announced a second season for Alien: Earth as of this writing.
