Alien: Earth Finale Approaches with a Terrifying New Creature Reveal
September 23, 2025
=====================================================================
The final episode of Alien: Earth is nearly here, promising the revelation of another horrifying creature that could surpass the fear factor of the classic Xenomorph. Noah Hawley's series continues to stand out among the best Alien adaptations, blending creepy, grotesque elements with compelling storytelling. Its narrative feels more intertwined with the cyber-noir aesthetic of Blade Runner than traditional space horror, offering a fresh take within the franchise.
As we anticipate the climax, questions abound: Will Alien: Earth connect to Romulus, Predator, or other entries in the expansive universe? Why is Wendy able to communicate with the Xenomorphs? And will the mysterious “eye midge” (T. Ocellus) target Boy Kavalier?
Prepare yourself for the finale—here’s everything you need to know about the Alien: Earth Episode 8 release schedule.

Number of Episodes and Series Outlook
Alien: Earth comprises eight episodes. The first two aired on August 12, with subsequent episodes released weekly. Given the positive reception and the tease from FX chief John Landgraf in 2024—expressing interest in at least two seasons—there is a strong possibility of a Season 2. He noted, “We’re pretty bullish on Alien: Earth and envision it as a returning series, with Hawley focusing on at least two seasons before considering a sequel to Fargo.”
Recap of Episode 7
Episode 7 centered on Arthur Sylvia, who was attacked by a Facehugger. Slightly and Smee raced to transport him to Morrow and Yutani troops, but disaster struck: a baby Xenomorph burst from his chest and fled into the woods. Meanwhile, Wendy commanded her pet alien to eliminate a wave of soldiers, showcasing her complex relationship with the extraterrestrial.
Tensions escalated around Boy Kavalier and the “eye monster”—a creature he believed to possess extraordinary intelligence, responding to him in uncanny ways. The episode hinted that in the upcoming finale, someone may lose an eye, heightening the sense of imminent danger.
By the episode's conclusion, Wendy, Nibs, and Hermit were trapped on a boat trying to escape. A shocking betrayal occurred when Hermit shot Nibs with his rifle, knocking her out—leaving viewers asking, “What did you do?” as the episode ended.
What's Coming in Episode 8?
The trailer hints at the true form of the plant monster being revealed, and based on the earlier glimpses, it promises to be terrifying. Fans are eagerly awaiting the culmination of the series’ suspense and horror.
