In the first season of Invasion on Apple TV+, the world was on edge with the mysterious outer space invaders slaughtering millions of people worldwide. Now in season time, the series shifted as our main characters not seeking to survive but shifted to attack these now visible alien species.

From the minds of Simon Kinberg and David Weil, the character-driven drama series bring in differing perspectives of survivors from around the world.

The series stars Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson, India Brown, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Paddy Holland, and Tara Moayedi. The new series regulars joining in season two included Enver Gjokaj, Nedra Marie Taylor, and Naian Gonzalez Norvind.

The second season of Invasion picks up just months later, with the aliens escalating their attacks in an all-out war against the humans.
