Alien: Earth premiered on FX and Hulu last week, introducing sci-fi buffs to the latest chapter in the long-running franchise. This time around, creator and showrunner Noah Hawley has introduced a few new twists. Instead of following intrepid explorers colliding with Xenomorphs in space, a ship carrying five different alien species has crash-landed on 2120 Earth. Adding to the mayhem? Alien: Earth‘s main character is Wendy (Sydney Chandler), the world’s first hybrid. That is, she has the mind of a child in the body of a super-powered synthetic body.

In last week’s two-part Alien: Earth premiere, we watched as Wendy boldly led a rescue mission to the USSS Maginot‘s crash site. While Prodigy bigwig Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin) might want her and the gang to track down the mysterious aliens, Wendy is there to save her big brother, Hermit (Alex Lawther).

The two siblings were reunited last week, but what’s going to happen to them next? Will they both survive another encounter with the Xenomorph? What other odd powers do the new aliens have? When do Alien: Earth episodes drop? Here’s everything you need to know to watch Alien: Earth…
