When and where to watch Alien: Earth in Canada
Good news for Canadians: you won’t need to navigate time zones or juggle streaming platforms to watch the series. Alien: Earth will be available exclusively on Disney+ in Canada.
The series will premiere on August 13, 2025, with the release of the first two episodes. After that, a new episode will be added each week, bringing the total to eight chapters. All you need is a Disney+ subscription to follow the full story and find out what the iconic Xenomorph has in store for us this time.
Who’s in the cast and behind the camera? A Team of Talents
Led by Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), creator, showrunner, and key director, the project is backed by executive producer Ridley Scott, the original father of Alien. This creative duo guarantees the franchise’s legendary DNA remains intact.
The international cast features Sydney Chandler in the central role of Wendy, a hybrid already praised as “remarkable,” alongside Timothy Olyphant (android Kirsh), Alex Lawther (Hermit), Samuel Blenkin (CEO of Prodigy Corp), and Essie Davis (scientist Dame Silvia). Adarsh Gourav, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, and Kit Young complete the cast.
With a budget of 250 million dollars, the series is one of the most expensive television productions in history. Hundreds of millions were invested mainly in visual effects, sets, and creatures, with filming strategically held in Thailand for its landscapes and logistical advantages.

Accessing Alien: Earth from abroad or in other languages via a VPN
If you are a Canadian outside the country or want to watch the series in a language not available on Disney+ Canada (Spanish, Portuguese, etc.), using a VPN is essential. By connecting to a Canadian server through a service like NordVPN, you will have access to the full local catalog. For alternative language versions, switch to a server in a country offering the desired dubbing (e.g., Mexico for Spanish, Brazil for Portuguese). Note that Disney+ may block some VPNs, so it is best to use services known for their streaming reliability.

A bold revival for the franchise
Alien: Earth avoids two pitfalls: copying cult films and diluting the horror. Noah Hawley explores three dimensions: visceral terror enhanced by practical effects, a sharp satire of technological capitalism, and poignant human dramas. Visually, the series blends the industrial aesthetic of Nostromo with the clean lines of Prometheus, all set within a stifling tropical atmosphere filmed in Bangkok.
With rave reviews and a Metacritic score of 85/100, Alien: Earth stands out as the sci-fi event of the summer. For Canada, the countdown has begun: catch it on Disney+ starting August 13, or on FX/Hulu on August 12 with a VPN.
