How many episodes are left to air in Alien: Earth season 1?

With the release of the sixth episode on September 9, 2025, there are a total of two episodes left to air in Alien: Earth season 1. The installments will continue to expand on Wendy's storyline, corporate rivalries, Morrow's personal vendetta, and Xenomorphs being experimented with, making the remaining episodes something fans eagerly anticipate.

A brief recap of Alien: Earth season 1 episode 6

In Alien: Earth season 1 episode 6, tensions run high on Neverland Research Island when corporate competition and hybrid experiments run amok. Weyland-Yutani CEO Yutani plots to reclaim alien samples from Prodigy Corporation, and a clandestine operation by cyborg Morrow to drain a Xenomorph through sabotage ensues.

Simultaneously, the hybrid Tootles dies as a result of being sealed in a containment room with alien flies, a result of a mutated sheep. This event undermines Prodigy's hybrid immortality claim. Scientist Arthur Sylvia, who had formed a parental attachment with the hybrids, discovers Tootles' demise but also falls victim to it, being facehugged by a Xenomorph after Slightly seals him in the lab.

Moderately, on Morrow's command, he utilizes Arthur's corpse to hatch a Xenomorph, pulling it into an air vent during the last few seconds of the episode. Furthermore, Kirsh intentionally conceals vital information regarding Tootles' demise and listens in on clandestine discussions between enemy groups, questioning his actual allegiance.

The episode explores corporate warfare, the falling shroud of immortality, and the mounting menace of alien life forms, building up to the series' dramatic final acts.

Major events to expect from Alien: Earth season 1 episode 7 (speculative)

In Alien: Earth season 1 episode 7, audiences can anticipate escalating chaos on Neverland Research Island reaching a fever pitch. The consequences of Tootles's and Arthur Sylvia's fatalities will exacerbate tensions between the hybrid children and the remaining personnel. Slightly's betrayal will also likely have immense repercussions, as the Xenomorph now growing inside the ventilation system becomes an additional new, unforeseen threat.

Hermit and Wendy's attempts to flee will also likely be made more difficult by increasing distrust, particularly as they realize that their artificial "protectors" are anything but kind. Kirsh's dubious allegiances may also come to the fore as he manipulates the situation with motives that are not entirely clear, perhaps using the increased anarchy to seize influence or exact revenge.

At the same time, the Prodigy-Weyland-Yutani arbitration could further unravel as deeper corporate conspiracies and betrayals are revealed. The series could delve into how far the characters are willing to go to survive and whether they can overthrow the oppressive system that birthed them or be consumed by it.

Alien: Earth season 1 episode 7 will premiere on September 16, 2025, at 8 pm ET.
