FX’s Alien: Earth Launches The Hunt Stunt Globally
Ahead of the show’s premiere on Tuesday, August 12, on FX and Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally, FX will launch a global stunt across 14 cities in support of the sci-fi series, Alien: Earth.
The USCSS Maginot has crash-landed on Earth, and containment units holding mysterious alien life forms have fallen from the wreckage and landed in cities around the world. Brave fans who approach the Prodigy Corp officers protecting the salvaged containment crates will be rewarded with a chance to instantly win an exclusive prize.
Domestically, the immersive stunt will feature containment unit crates from the series, hidden Easter Eggs, photo opportunities, and exclusive prizes. By participating, fans have a chance to win a pair of limited-edition Alien: Earth x Skullcandy Crusher EVO Headphones with mind-blowing multi-sensory bass, an Alien: Earth thermos, or a collectible pin.
Plus, fans can receive special offers from “The Hunt” collaborations with select W Hotels and Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer locations. All “The Hunt” prizes mentioned are at U.S. locations only and are available while supplies last on a first-come-first-serve basis.
To amplify the stunt’s announcement, FX and its international counterparts published a series of videos on social media featuring the USCSS Maginot hurtling over participating markets across the globe.
Domestically, the Maginot was spotted careening past Venice Beach, and around the world, the ship made its presence felt in locations including Rio De Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Tokyo, Toronto, Seoul, and Valencia.
The following U.S. locations are where you will be able to find the USCSS Maginot wreckage on August 9, 2025, from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. local time.

Additionally, the network has launched FX’s Alien: Earth “The Hunt” sweepstakes.

Another exciting element of FX’s Alien: Earth marketing campaign is an immersive OOH campaign, which has launched across key markets, bringing the Xenomorph and other specimens to Earth for the first time.
A huge 3D billboard in Times Square brings audiences face-to-face with a Xenomorph bursting out of the screen. In the heart of Hollywood, there are massive crates carrying specimens with full motion LED screens and eerie sounds of the creatures of the series.
At the corner of Hollywood & Vine sits a full-size Xenomorph on top of the largest crate guarding this precious, terrifying cargo. This activation wouldn’t be complete without a motion-detected jump scare for those who aren’t afraid to get too close. This corner takeover is causing heads to turn for drivers and pedestrians alike.
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s Alien: Earth.
In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans.
But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness).
The first hybrid prototype, named “Wendy,” marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides with Prodigy City, “Wendy” and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
The series also stars Timothy Olyphant (“Kirsh”), Alex Lawther (“Hermit”), Samuel Blenkin (“Boy Kavalier”), Babou Ceesay (“Morrow”), Adrian Edmondson (“Atom Eins”), David Rysdahl (“Arthur Sylvia”), Essie Davis (“Dame Sylvia”), Lily Newmark (“Nibs”), Erana James (“Curly”), Adarsh Gourav (“Slightly”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Smee”), Kit Young (“Tootles”), Diêm Camille (“Siberian”), Moe Bar-El (“Rashidi”), and Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Yutani”).
FX’s Alien: Earth is created for television and executive-produced by Peabody and Emmy Award-winning Noah Hawley. Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Joseph Iberti, Dana Gonzales, and Clayton Krueger also serve as executive producers. Alien: Earth is produced by FX Productions.
