The wait is over for sci-fi and horror fans as Alien: Romulus is set to make its streaming debut on Hulu on November 21, 2024. Following a successful theatrical release in August and a recent digital release, this seventh installment in the Alien franchise promises to bring spine-chilling suspense directly to fans' screens just in time for the Thanksgiving season.
Directed by Evil Dead creator Fede Álvarez, Alien: Romulus continues the legacy of the classic Alien saga. The film follows a group of young colonizers who, while scavenging an abandoned space station, awaken the terrifying face-hugging creatures that the series is famous for. Led by actors Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, the cast also includes Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus Box Office Success
After its theatrical release, Alien: Romulus quickly became the second highest-grossing film in the franchise, pulling in $105.3 million domestically and a remarkable $350.8 million worldwide. Its success reflects the film’s gripping storytelling and Álvarez’s unique approach, which critics praised as “a good video-game horror ride” filled with intense, spooky visuals. As Variety’s chief critic Owen Gleiberman wrote, “The series’ primal show and awe is gone, but it’s a confidently spooky, ingeniously shot piece of entertainment.”
Bonus Features and Pre-Orders Available
Besides the streaming release on Hulu, Alien: Romulus will also be available for fans who prefer physical copies. The Blu-ray and DVD editions, complete with bonus features like interviews with Álvarez and franchise creator Ridley Scott, will be released on December 3. Fans can look forward to additional content such as behind-the-scenes footage and extended scenes that add depth to the film’s narrative.
Álvarez, who co-wrote the screenplay with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, approached Alien: Romulus with a fresh perspective, drawing on his personal experiences. “The narrative of young people in a place where they feel trapped resonates with me,” he shared. The film’s thematic roots in the fear of isolation and entrapment added a unique, unsettling layer to the traditional Alien formula, giving it a distinctive edge over previous installments.
Looking ahead, fans of Alien: Romulus have more to anticipate. Recently, 20th Century Studios confirmed that they’re working on a sequel, with the hope of bringing Álvarez back to continue the story. Studio head Steve Asbell shared, “The two survivors, Rain and Andy, were real highlights, and we’re excited to see where their journey takes them next.”
For those eager to experience Alien: Romulus again or for the first time, mark your calendars for November 21 when the movie launches on Hulu.
