Disney has announced that the latest instalment in the “Alien” franchise is set to arrive on Disney’s streaming services soon.

The all-new terrifying sci-fi horror thriller “Alien: Romulus” will make its streaming debut on Hulu on November 21st 2024. The film will also be available to stream via Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers.   

It will also be coming to Disney+ in Canada on the same day as in the US; however, in Australia and New Zealand, “Alien: Romulus” will arrive a little later on New Year’s Day.

This truly terrifying sci-fi horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its iconic roots. While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young colonizers come face-to-face with the most relentless and deadly life form in the universe.

Starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu, Alien: Romulus is directed by horror master Fede Alvarez from a screenplay by Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Ridley Scott — who directed the original Alien and the series entries Prometheus and Alien: Covenant — produces with Michael Pruss and Walter Hill.

The film was released in cinemas earlier this summer and was released in digital formats for purchase last month.  The film is the latest movie to take over ninety days to go from a theatrical release to streaming, highlighting a trend for Disney to give its movies longer in cinemas and to increase digital sales and rentals.

Fans can dive deeper into the iconic franchise by binge-watching every Alien movie now on Hulu and Hulu Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ around the world, including Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

Roger’s Take:  I recently watched “Alien: Romulus” and really enjoyed it as it certainly feels more like the original film than many of the recent movies, which is certainly an improvement.  I’m sure this is going to be a big hit on Hulu and Disney+ when it drops.

Are you looking forward to watching “Alien: Romulus”?  Let me know on social media!
