FX released the trailer for the series in June.
The trailer opens with a scene from Neverland Research Island. The year is 2120 on Earth.
It introduces a young girl who is told that she will be the first person to \"transition from a human body to a synthetic.\"
\"Because I'm special,\" she replies.
A separate scene in the trailer cuts to a spacecraft crash landing and a group of people investigating the spaceship.
\"This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe,\" says Ceesay in the trailer as ominous shots of the spacecraft are shown. \"Monsters.\"
See the full trailer below.
With Scott's 1979 film as the inspiration behind Hawley's new series, Scott has joined \"Alien: Earth\" as an executive producer.
\"Alien: Earth\" will premiere with the first two episodes on Tuesday, Aug. 12, on Hulu and FX.
Episodes will release every Tuesday through mid-September.
Disney is the parent company of Hulu, FX, ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
