The beginning of Ridley Scott’s legendary saga, which just when it seemed like there wasn’t much more to give, is getting ready to expand with the promising ‘Alien: Romulus’ and Noah Hawley’s new series set on Earth.

So far, there have been eight movies in the saga, including ‘Alien vs. Predator’. The last one was ‘Alien: Covenant,’ which premiered in 2017, so it’s the perfect time to revisit the saga and remember the correct order to watch all the ‘Alien’ films.
