Streaming media platform Apple TV Plus has renewed its successful sci-fi series Invasion for a second season. The renewal comes ahead of the finale episode of season 1, which is set to premiere globally today on Friday.
Invasion, touted to be a moving, character-driven science-fiction drama, is set across multiple continents and follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. The show has been created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil.
It features Golshifteh Farahani, Shamier Anderson, Shioli Kutsuna, Firas Nassar, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Tara Moayedi, Daisuke Tsuji and Sam Neill.
“I am 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 am thankful to our amazing fans, without whom we wouldn't have this opportunity to continue the invasion. I am super excited about what we're planning for season two, expanding our universe in the most intimate and epic ways," Kinberg said in a statement.
The first season of Invasion is written and executive produced by Kinberg and Weil while Jakob Verbruggen has directed and executive produced alongside Amy Kaufman, Andrew Baldwin, Audrey Chon, and Elisa Ellis.
