Following the Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, it was confirmed at the 2019 CinemaCon that new *Alien* films were in development. In March 2022, Fede Álvarez was announced as the writer and director for the first new film in the franchise, with the story being "unconnected" to previous films. The project was initially set for a Hulu release in the U.S. By November 2022, Cailee Spaeny entered negotiations to star, and by March 2023, Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu had joined the cast. In November 2023, it was revealed that the film would be set between *Alien* (1979) and *Aliens* (1986), with several crew members from *Aliens* returning, and visual effects by Image Engine, who also worked on *Alien: Ore* (2019).
Principal photography took place in Budapest from March 9 to July 3, 2023. The film was shot in chronological order and utilized practical effects.
### Music
The score for the film was composed by Benjamin Wallfisch.
