Watch the trailer for new Alien universe shorts

The big screen future of the Alien franchise may currently be uncertain — but you can’t keep a good Xenomorph down! 2019 is the 40th anniversary of director Ridley Scott’s original space-nightmare and to mark the occasion Twentieth Century Fox is releasing six short films set in the Alien universe from fan-filmmakers. The films include Harvest, about the surviving crew of a damaged deep-space harvester who have minutes to reach the emergency evacuation shuttle, and Specimen, in which a botanist attempts to contain suspicious soil samples that have triggered her sensitive lab dog.

The shorts will be released weekly on IGN, starting on March 29.  Beginning May 3, they will be available on the official Alien social channels and Alien Universe website, along with behind-the-scenes content.

Watch the just-released trailer for the six Alien shorts above.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline.
