What time is Alien: Earth episode 3 out on Disney Plus?
Once again Alien: Earth will air on FX in the US and will stream on Hulu via Disney Plus for American audiences. For those outside the states, for example in the UK, it will be available to watch on Disney+.
Alien: Earth’s latest episode is set to be broadcast at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT in America today (August 26). However, it will not land on Disney Plus for UK and European audiences until tomorrow (August 27).
It will be available to watch from 1am British time. Meaning it will be waiting for you on Wednesday after work.
Why does it come out later in the UK?
Due to the difference in time zones between America and the UK, it means that episodes of the show will arrive on this side of the pond a day later. The show will be released weekly on Tuesdays (starting August 12) in the US, but British audiences won’t get the episodes until Wednesdays (from August 13).
It is a similar situation that has been seen plenty of times this year with shows like Andor, Daredevil: Born Again and more. The latest episode of Alien: Earth will be available on August 27 in the UK.
How many episodes will be available this week?
Alien: Earth began with a two-episode premiere last week. However, after the double-helping in its first week, the show is releasing just one episode-per-week now.
The show is set to have eight episodes in total in its first season. Episodes three through eight will be released weekly and it is due to conclude on September 23/24 based on the current schedule.
