NextImg:How to watch the 'Alien' movies in order before you watch 'Alien: Romulus'

You better watch out for xenomorphs and face huggers, because we’re just a few days away from the release of Alien: Romulus in theaters.

Directed by Fede Álvarez, and written by Álvarez and Rodo Sayagues, Alien: Romulus is the seventh film in the Alien franchise (if you don’t count the two Alien Vs. Predator crossover films, that is). But technically, this new movie is a standalone “interquel,” which takes place between the events of the first movie Alien (1979) and the second movie Aliens (1986). Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu star in the film as a group of young space colonists who come face to face with some terrifying, well, aliens. If you’ve seen any of the previous six films in the franchise, you probably know where this is headed!

Because Alien: Romulus is a standalone film, with an entirely new cast, you don’t need to see any of the other Alien movies in order to enjoy this new one. That said, it might be helpful to at least watch the first movie starring Sigourney Weaver, both because this film takes place after the events of that movie, and because it’s just a great movie. And after you watch the first Alien movie, you may feel compelled to watch the other Alien movies, too.

Lucky for you, all the Alien movies are streaming on Hulu and Disney+, free to anyone with a Hulu or a Disney+ subscription. You can also buy or rent most of the Alien movies on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. Here’s a list of all the Alien movies in order chronologically, including where to stream the Alien movies.
