Apple TV+ continues its foray into captivating science fiction narratives, with its recent trailer launch signaling the imminent return of its acclaimed series, “Invasion” for a second spellbinding season. While the extraterrestrial invaders aren’t quite done asserting their dominion, humanity isn’t about to cede its home without a fight.
In its debut season, “Invasion” captivated audiences with its broad spectrum of global perspectives. Viewers watched, transfixed, as the world grappled with the unexpected onset of an extraterrestrial incursion. Fast forwarding to the upcoming season, the narrative is set to resume a few months post the tense climax of its precursor. As the remnants of humanity seek to navigate the tumultuous new world order, they find the alien adversaries upping the ante. It’s evident, adaptation and counteraction are humanity’s only hope.
Loyal viewers will be pleased to see familiar faces reprising their roles. Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson, India Brown, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Paddy Holland, and Tara Moayedi all make their return. Adding to the star-studded ensemble are the newcomers: Enver Gjokaj, Nedra Marie Taylor, and Naian González Norvind.
The recently released trailer paints a poignant picture. Kutsuna’s heartrending monologue sets the stage, touching on the immense losses and trials endured by humanity since the initial onslaught. Yet, as despairing as the circumstances are, the spirit of resistance is palpable. A riveting series of clips showcasing intense human-alien confrontations underscores the mood. The culmination? An insurmountable urge to tune in and discover the fate that awaits both species.
Invasion’s Creative Minds
Wondering about the masterminds weaving this entrancing tale? Look no further than Simon Kinberg and David Weil. Kinberg, a prominent figure in Hollywood, boasts of a prolific portfolio, especially with fan favorites from the X-Men film series such as “X-Men: Days of Future Past”, “Deadpool”, and the critically-lauded, “The Martian”. On the other hand, Weil’s repertoire includes gems like “Hunters” and “Citadel”. This formidable duo is backed by an equally distinguished team of executive producers including Audrey Chon, David Witz, Alik Sakharov, Andrew Baldwin, and Katie O’Connell Marsh.
As anticipation heightens, fans don’t have long to wait. The second season of “Invasion“, spanning ten episodes, is set to make its grand premiere on Apple TV+ come August 23, 2023.
