Apple TV+ Renews Its INVASION Sci-Fi Series for Season 2
Apple TV+ has announced that they’ve given the sci-fi drama series Invasion a second season. The news comes ahead of the epic finale episode of Season 1, which will premiere on Friday, December 10th.
The show is set across multiple continents and follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. I’m about halfway through the series, and I’m enjoying it, so it’s good to hear that the story will continue beyond the first season.
The show comes from Simon Kinberg (X-Men films, Deadpool films, The Martian) and David Weil (Hunters). It stars Golshifteh Farahani, Shamier Anderson, Shioli Kutsuna, Firas Nassar, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Tara Moayedi, Daisuke Tsuji and Sam Neill.
Kinberg said in a statement, “I’m profoundly grateful to Apple for being so supportive every step of the way, and trusting us to make a deeply human, emotional alien-invasion story. And most of all I’m thankful to our amazing fans, without whom we wouldn’t have this opportunity to continue the invasion. I’m super excited about what we’re planning for season two, expanding our universe in the most intimate and epic ways.”
Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+ added, “From day one, we have been hooked on this unique, engrossing and very human telling of an invasion story which deftly explores how the lives of different characters around the world are impacted when Earth is under siege. It has been so rewarding to witness global audiences respond to the brilliant performances, the captivating mystery and the sweeping cinematic vision, not to mention some pretty terrifying alien intruders. We couldn’t be more excited for viewers to see what ‘Invasion’ creators David Weil and Simon Kinberg have in store for these characters - as well as our planet - in season two."
