What time will Alien: Earth season 1 episode 4 release on FX, Hulu, and Disney+? Release timings for all regions

Alien: Earth season 1 episode 4 will raise the stakes after Kirsh and Boy Kavalier's risky experiment with a Xenomorph tadpole. Set in the year 2120, the Earth is ruled by five major corporations, including Prodigy and Weyland-Yutani. Complications arise when Yutani's USCSS Maginot ship, carrying multiple extraterrestrial life forms, crashes into the Prodigy towers.

In the latest episode, Prodigy's CEO orders his synthetic hybrids to bring back all Xenomorph specimens from the ship to his secret hideout to study them. The hermit's extracted lung becomes the human host for the predator to grow. Meanwhile, Wendy is revealed to have an unusual bond with the Xenomorphs, which may cause further complications.

Alien: Earth season 1 episode 4 will explore these dynamics and is set to premiere on FX and Hulu on August 26, 2025, at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. International viewers can also stream the series on Disney+.

What to expect from Alien: Earth season 1 episode 4

In the upcoming episode of Alien: Earth season 1, the implications of Boy Cavalier and Kirsh's choice to implant a Xenomorph embryo in Hermit's lung will likely be a central theme. The embryo may begin to grow inside the lung, further increasing the threat to human life.

Wendy's own cryptic link with the aliens is also likely to be delved into. Her physical distress and disintegration imply a more profound biological or neurological connection that would unlock new secrets of human-Xenomorph interaction.

In the meantime, Nibs' increasing existential crisis as a synth might become the focus, with questions posed about whether her doubt arises from trauma, malfunction, or concealed alien control. The episode could also explore Morrow's plan to take over Prodigy and capture the alien specimens, and return them to Weyland-Yutani.
