Alien: Isolation – The Digital Series

Alien: Isolation – The Digital Series is an American adult animated science fiction horror web series directed by Fabien Dubois, based on the Alien franchise created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, and the 2014 video game of the same name by Creative Assembly, that premiered on February 28, 2019, on IGN. The series was created by Kinga Smith and Fabien Dubois and features most of the actors from the game reprising their roles. It takes place fifteen years after the events of Alien and follows Amanda Ripley, daughter of Alien protagonist Ellen Ripley, as she investigates the disappearance of her mother aboard a decaying space station.

Premise

Alien: Isolation takes place fifteen years after the original film and follows Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, as she accompanies a Weyland-Yutani team being sent to retrieve the flight recorder of the Nostromo (recently located by the crew of salvage vessel Anesidora and being held aboard the Seegson Corporation's remote Sevastopol space station in orbit around the KG-348 gas giant) at the request of Christopher Samuels, an android working for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, so that Ripley can have closure regarding the fate of her missing mother. Ripley, Samuels, and Weyland-Yutani corporate counsel Nina Taylor travel to Sevastopol aboard the Torrens, a courier ship, only to find the station damaged and its communications offline. After attempting to spacewalk over to the station to investigate, their EVA line is severed by debris, and Ripley is separated from the others and forced to enter the station on her own, encountering hostile worker androids, violent human survivors, and an unknown alien organism that stalks her throughout the station.
