Where to watch it on OTT
Originally planned as a streaming-only release, 20th Century Studios decided to bring Alien: Romulus to theatres, much to the excitement of fans. If you prefer watching at home, Alien: Romulus will soon be available for streaming on Hulu. Though it just premiered in theatres, it will eventually make its way to Hulu a few months later. For those without Hulu, the film will also be available for rental or purchase after its streaming release, one you can still catch the latest Alien movie.
Alien: Romulus mostly tells its own story but links back to the original Alien and Ridley Scott’s prequels, Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017). The film also features surprising connections to Prometheus, especially in its surprising ending.
