March 7, 2018 10.19 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German pay-TV broadcaster Sky Deutschland is devoting a pop-up channel to the most famous alien monster in movie history.

From April 13 to 22, 2018, Sky Cinema Alien HD will show 24 hours per day the eight films with the vicious creature that made its way into cinemas for the first time in 1979.

The highlight will be the German TV premiere of the franchise’s latest production Alien: Covenant on April 15.

Sky Cinema Alien HD will temporarily replace Sky Cinema Hits. All eight films will also be available on mobile devices and on demand through Sky Go, Sky On Demand and Sky Ticket.
