Naman Ramachandran Adarsh Gourav is venturing into uncharted territory with “Alien: Earth,” the upcoming FX series that marks his first major foray into sci-fi. “Alien: Earth” serves as a prequel to Ridley Scott’s 1979 film “Alien,” which kicked off a nine-film franchise with the latest being “Alien: Romulus.” The series, due to release in 2025, builds on the seminal franchise. “I play one of the leading characters.

Gourav first gained international recognition for his breakout role in Ramin Bahrani’s Netflix film “The White Tiger,” which earned him a BAFTA nomination for leading actor in 2021.
