‘Invasion’: Apple TV+ Renews Epic Sci-fi Drama For Season 2
Apple TV+ has announced the epic globe-spanning sci-fi drama ‘Invasion‘ will return for a 2nd Season on the streaming service.
The sweeping, character-driven series, set across multiple continents, follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. We are not alone. Extraterrestrial beings have made their way to Earth from across the universe. Civilization could collapse, and survival is up to you, as we feel what it’s like to live through an alien invasion.
“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,” said series co-creator and executive producer Simon Kinberg. “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.”
The series stars Shamier Anderson (‘Bruised’, ‘Awake’), Golshifteh Farahani (‘Extraction’, ‘Paterson’, ‘Body of Lies’), Sam Neill (‘Jurassic World: Dominion’, ‘Peaky Blinders’), Firas Nassar (‘Fauda’) and Shioli Kutsuna (‘Deadpool 2’, ‘The Outsider’).
“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,” adds Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “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.”
‘Invasion’ season one is written and executive produced by Academy and Emmy Award nominee Simon Kinberg (‘X-Men’ films, ‘Deadpool’ films, ‘The Martian’) and David Weil (‘Hunters’). Emmy Award-nominee Jakob Verbruggen (‘The Alienist’, ‘The Fall’) directs and serves as executive producer. Audrey Chon, Amy Kaufman and Elisa Ellis serve as executive producers alongside Andrew Baldwin, who also writes. Katie O’Connell Marsh serves as executive producer for Boat Rocker Studios.
