Alien: Romulus is heading to Hulu on November 21, so US audiences will soon be able to stream the latest in the sci-fi franchise in the comfort of their own homes. But so far, it only has a US home streaming release and there's no word on when it's coming to other territories.

News of the movie's Hulu release was confirmed on social media, with the 20th Century Studio's X (formerly Twitter) account writing: "#AlienRomulus is streaming only on @Hulu November 21."

Considering other big names in the franchise like Alien, Aliens, and Alien vs Predator are streaming on Disney Plus too, it's no surprise that fans are asking why it hasn't got a wider release across the best streaming services.

Why isn't Alien: Romulus coming to Disney Plus?

Right now, Disney has not confirmed why it's not streaming in the UK and other areas. However, that doesn't mean the movie is definitely not going to stream on Disney Plus in the future, so we'll just have to wait for official confirmation.

This isn't the only surprising news about Alien: Romulus though, as early this year it got a limited VHS release for people who like to keep it retro. Personally, I don't have a VHS player anymore, but it's still a cool collector's item nonetheless!

An underwhelming trailer for Alien: Earth dropped recently too, so this franchise isn't going anywhere any time soon, for better or for worse. Right now, we're not sure if Earth will do enough to make it onto our best Hulu shows, but only time will tell.

She has written several reviews in her time, starting with a small self-ran blog called Lucy Goes to Hollywood before moving onto bigger websites such as What's on TV and What to Watch, with TechRadar being her most recent venture. Her interests primarily lie within horror and thriller, loving nothing more than a chilling story that keeps her thinking moments after the credits have rolled. Many of these creepy tales can be found on the streaming services she covers regularly.

She also quotes The Simpsons religiously and has a Blinky the Fish tattoo, solidifying her position as a complete nerd.
