Its always been accepted that the terror on the Nostromo was humanitys first contact with the xenomorph.
This slightly altered the canonical events of the original film, but not in a way that undermined it.
When shes picked up by the Sulaco inAliens, they want to know everything she knows about the xenomorphs.
Its like whenStar Warsrevealed that Darth Maul survived being bisected by Obi-Wan Kenobi and thrown into a bottomless pit.
Alien: Earthhas been in development since 2020.
LikeAlien: Earth,Alien vs. Predatortakes place before the events of the originalAlienand features humans encountering xenomorphs.

Set in 2120, Alien: Earth follows a young woman and a team of soldiers as they uncover a dangerous secret after a spacecraft crashes on Earth. Created by Noah Hawley, the FX series portrays a future controlled by five influential corporations, where advanced technology holds both promise and peril.
