Director Fede Álvarez invites you to dive back into the Alien universe with the eagerly awaited horror film Alien: Romulus. This new chapter in the Alien saga is particularly exciting as it marks the first Alien movie in seven years.
After the mixed reception of Alien: Covenant, the franchise is making a strong comeback with the intense thrills of Alien: Romulus.
Set between the original Alien and Aliens films, Alien: Romulus shifts focus from Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) to a new team of heroes. This team faces a dire situation when they discover a large hive of Xenomorph Facehuggers.
Even one Facehugger can lead to a terrifying alien creature, making this film a must-watch for horror fans. Read on to find out when and where you can catch Alien: Romulus.
Is ‘Alien: Romulus’ Streaming?
Unfortunately, Alien: Romulus will not be available for online streaming. To experience the full horror, you will need to watch it in a movie theater. This theatrical release is hoped to be a hit, especially since Alien: Covenant did not perform well.
The Alien franchise is now under The Walt Disney Company, which means Alien: Romulus may eventually be available on Hulu, which is owned by Disney. Despite Disney+ and Hulu merging recently, Hulu remains a separate service. Hulu offers two subscription options:
- Hulu: Ad-supported, with most of Hulu’s library. Costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year.
- Hulu (No Ads): No ads (except some shows), with access to all of Hulu’s library. Costs $17.99 per month.
You can also consider bundling Hulu with Disney+, ESPN+, or Max for various discounts.
