This series is slated to mix in the 1979 film and the 1986 James Cameron-directorial, which went by the name of Aliens.
Unlike Alien, Aliens did not win any Academy Award and neither was it shown the same love by viewers, though the latter got a nomination in the Best Actress category for Sigourney Weaver.
Weaver played the character of Lieutenant Ellen Ripley.
