What’s Alien: Earth All About
The sci-fi horror series takes place in a world where cyborgs (humans with biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (artificially intelligent humanoid robots) live with humans on Earth. When a mysterious deep-space research vessel crash-lands on the planet, Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag team of soldiers learn concerning the biggest threat to Earth.
It’s revealed that Wendy isn’t any abnormal woman; she is a hybrid, a first-of-its-kind humanoid robot with human consciousness. Alien: Earth also features Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, and Indian actor Adarsh Gourav, amongst other forged members.
