*Warning: Contains spoilers for Alien: Earth episodes 1-6.*
The sixth episode of Alien: Earth has now been released, and it sees the stakes seriously ramp up with a finale that leaves many of the characters in danger – and one of their fates seemingly sealed for good.
The latest instalment of the show, which is the first TV series in the sci-fi/horror franchise created by Ridley Scott, is called The Fly, while the upcoming seventh episode is titled Emergence.
Episode brought things back down to Earth to focus on Wendy, played by Sugar's Sydney Chandler, and her hybrid siblings, after episode 5 took things to space for a stunning flashback.
While the series largely does away with some of the franchise's canon established in Prometheus and charts its own course, it has still been critically acclaimed, and been a smash hit in terms of viewership.
According to Variety, the first episode of the series attracted more than 9 million views across Disney Plus and Hulu in just six days.
