In an intriguing turn of events, the mastermind behind Earth: Alien, Noah Hawley, has unveiled the voice actor behind MU-TH-UR in the forthcoming episodes, quelling rumors that it could be none other than Sigourney Weaver. The captivating FX series serves as a prelude to Ridley Scott’s 1979 Alien film, where Weaver graced the screen in the pivotal role. Boasting an impressive cast that includes Timothy Olyphant, Sydney Chandler, Samuel Blenkin, and a host of other talented actors, this show promises to be a fascinating watch.

Noah Hawley confirms Sigourney Weaver did not voice Muthur in Alien: Earth

In a chat with Collider prior to the airing of Episode 5, creative mind behind Earth, Noah Hawley, disclosed plenty of insights about the show’s development.

During the conversation, Hawley was questioned about whether Sigourney Weaver, the actress from the 1979 Alien movie, provided the voice for MU-TH-UR in the series. Hawley clarified that it wasn’t Sigourney who voiced MU-TH-UR. Instead, he revealed that one of the editors, Robin [August], was actually the voice behind MU-TH-UR. Initially, someone had to say the lines for post-production purposes, and Robin temporarily filled in. When they attempted to find a suitable voice actor from professional voice performers, none could match Robin’s performance. As a result, she is now part of the show as well.

In the original 1979 Alien movie, the spaceship USCSS Nostromo was operated by an AI system named MU-TH-UR, which assisted in managing its functions, as portrayed in the character of the ship.

When Deadline interviewed Hawley, he explained that the ship featured in Episode 5 serves as a homage to the Nostromo from Alien. He clarified, “It’s essentially the same design. We used the original blueprints as our guide. The majority of rooms like the bridge, mess hall, hallways – they’ve been directly copied from the Nostromo. However, the cryo-chamber and the comms room have expanded in size. To authentically recreate something for television adaptation, one must prioritize accuracy. Therefore, we aimed to make it feel like Alien. We wanted viewers to understand that not only is this Alien, but it’s Ridley Scott’s Alien.
