Alien (franchise) Produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox, the series began with Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott. It was followed by three sequels, Aliens (1986), Alien³ (1992), and Alien Resurrection (1997). Scott also directed a prequel series, composed of Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017). A video game called Alien: Isolation was released in 2014 to a very positive response, taking place after the first Alien film and its sequel, following Ellen's daughter, Amanda. The game was confirmed to be canon by 20th Century Fox and even had the "endorsement" of Sigourney Weaver, who provided some voice work for the game.
