As seen in the teaser, we get the general premise of the series—a ship containing a xenomorph crash-lands on Earth. A ragtag group of soldiers have to investigate. It sounds like a really simple premise, but with Hawley aboard, you have to assume there’s something a bit deeper at play. 
The ensemble cast includes Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El.
