The Alien franchise debuted in 1979 and we’re still in Sigourney Weaver’s universe. In a franchise nearly as complex as Star Wars, where does Alien Earth fit? There’s a great (but lengthy) ScreenRant recap of the entire series, but in short, Alien Earth is somewhere after Alien: Covenant and two years before the events of the original Alien. Confused?
