"Alien: Earth" is off to a strong start in viewership, scoring 9.2 million views globally in the first six days since its premiere

Alien: Earth seems to have hit the ground running with the premiere episode raking in 9.2M views globally across FX, Hulu and Disney+ in its first six days, Disney revealed Tuesday. This seems to be a very strong premiere outing for Noah Hawley’s continuation of the iconic Alien franchise.

While this is not the only Disney film reference, the Ice Age reference was one of the most viral easter egg moments from Alien: Earth. In one of the scenes, Marcy’s brother, Hermit, recalls watching Ice Age: Continental Drift with his sister, cleverly making another Disney film part of the Alien: Earth lore.
