‘Alien: Romulus’ Is Coming: Here’s Where You Can Watch All the ‘Alien’ Movies First

Alien: Romulus, which hits theaters August 16, brings back the universe created by Ridley Scott. It’s been 45 years since the original launched an ongoing franchise, and a rewatch is definitely in order. Whether you’re looking to marathon it or are revisiting the series for the first time, remember: every Alien film is available to stream right now.

Alien hit theaters in 1979 and stars Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley. The film follows the crew of the Nostromo, a commercial spaceship, as they investigate a distress call in space. They discover an aggressive alien species rampaging through the dead spaceship, turning their rescue mission into a fight for survival.

Weaver reprised her role as Ripley in three of the eight installments in the series: James Cameron’s Alien Beginning, David Fincher’s Alien 3 and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection.

Fede Álvarez (The Evil Dead and 2013’s Don’t Breathe) is directing Alien: Romulus, a standalone story set between the events of Alien and Aliens. It’s worth noting that the Fede sequel and Noah Hawley’s Alien TV series will not be connected.

Whether you’re looking to brush up on the franchise before Alien: Romulus hits theaters or you’re planning an epic Alien binge, you’ll find all the installments here — yes, that includes the Alien vs. Predator movies.
