Peacock Unveils $350M Sci‑Fi Thriller „Alien: Romulus” This Week

Starting November 21, Peacock rolls out a spectacular schedule, highlighted by the $350 million „Alien: Romulus.” The film follows protagonist Rain Carradine, played by Cailee Spaeny, a miner on the harsh industrial planet Jackson’s Star. David Jonsson portrays Andy, a synthetic brother adopted by Rain. Together, they join a crew—including Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu—to reach the abandoned Weyland‑Yutani station, Renaissance, split into Romulus and Remus. Their goal is to secure cryogenic chambers for a nine‑year journey to the habitable planet Yvaga.
