It’s been a whopping seven years since the last instalment of the Xenomorph franchise was released. Alien: Covenant certainly wasn’t the best part of the series, and it’s no wonder that Hollywood lost some faith in the universe. However, it hasn’t been abandoned for good. Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Álvarez, is a fresh start for the franchise.
Cailee Spaeny, who you may remember from Priscilla and Civil War, plays the leading role in the film. Her character, Rain Carradine, along with the rest of the spaceship’s crew, have to fight to the death against a mysterious predator.
The cinema is the best place to experience the battle against the Xenomorph, but if you’re curious about when the film will streaming services, VOD and DVD, keep reading our guide.

Considering that the new Alien is a success, it could hit Hulu and Disney a month after its digital release, just like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes did. Based on that, we estimate that Alien: Romulus on Hulu and Disney will likely arrive around mid-November 2024.
Accounts on Hulu start from $7.99 per month for an ad-supported version. The basic subscription for Disney+ with ads costs £7.99 a month.
