Here is what you need to know about all of the "Peter Pan" Easter eggs and connections in FX's "Alien: Earth."

Alien: Earth premieres Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. ET on Hulu and FX with two episodes, then weekly on Tuesdays. Now, think of the happiest things, it's the same as having wings, but it won't save you from a Xenomorph in Alien: Earth.

For Hawley, overlaying Peter Pan onto Alien: Earth ‘s science fiction made sense because of the idea of trapping children’s minds in immortal bodies that were created, and ruled over, by a literal boy genius. Moreover, because Barrie’s work isn’t quite as anodyne and sweet as Disney’s animated film.
