Alien: Romulus Set to Stream on Hulu: What to Expect from the Latest Franchise Entry

With audiences eagerly awaiting fresh offerings in the sci-fi realm, Alien: Romulus is set to deliver an exhilarating new chapter to the iconic series. Directed by Fede Alvarez, this film has stirred considerable anticipation as its streaming debut draws near.

Alien: Romulus is set to debut on Hulu on November 21, perfectly timed for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's been just 98 days since its theatrical release, and soon fans will be able to experience it in the comfort of their homes. The storyline unfolds between the original Alien and the 1986 sequel, presenting the adventure of three pairs of siblings who are young space colonists exploring a deserted space station, unaware of the lurking threats.

The film features a talented cast, including Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu. As the seventh entry in the Alien series (excluding Alien vs. Predator), it has already made a remarkable impact at the box office, grossing $350.8 million against an $80 million budget, making it the second-highest-grossing film in the franchise, only surpassed by Prometheus, which earned $403 million globally. Notably, the ending lays the groundwork for a potential sequel, a prospect previously hinted at by the president of Fox.

Alvarez has expressed his hope for a connection between audiences and the film, emphasizing the story’s roots in third-world experiences, which resonate with his own background. He has suggested that the narrative and character arcs reflect realities faced by many, adding depth to the viewing experience.
