A trailer has been released for season 2 of the Apple TV+ series Invasion, which will begin airing next month
The premiere season of the Apple TV+ series Invasion (read our review HERE) started airing in October of 2021 and wrapped up its ten episode run in December of that. The same week the season finale aired, it was announced that a second season of the show had been ordered. Invasion season 2 is set to make its debut on August 23rd – and with that date just a few weeks away, a trailer for the new episodes have arrived online! You can watch it in the embed above.
Created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil, Invasion is set across multiple continents and is described as a sweeping, character-driven science fiction drama series that follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. Season 2 picks up 121 days after the invasion started.
The series stars Shamier Anderson (John Wick: Chapter 4), Golshifteh Farahani (the Chris Hemsworth Extraction), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Firas Nassar (Fauda), Billy Barratt (Mary Poppins Returns), and Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool 2).
Kinberg and Weil executive produce Invasion alongside Jakob Verbruggen, Audrey Chon, Amy Kaufman, Andrew Baldwin, Elisa Ellis, and Boat Rocker Studios’ Katie O’Connell Marsh. Verbruggen (The Fall) also directed episodes of the first season, as did Jamie Payne (Luther) and Amanda Marsalis (Ozark). Kinberg, who is best known for writing and/or producing multiple X-Men films (and directing X-Men: Dark Phoenix), had intended to direct episodes as well, but was too busy working on the action film The 355. We’ll have to wait and see if he had the chance to direct any season 2 episodes.
Weil previously created the Amazon series Hunters, which was executive produced by Jordan Peele. He also wrote an episode of Peele’s version of The Twilight Zone.
Did you watch the first season of Invasion, and will you be tuning in for season 2? What did you think of the trailer? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
I haven’t watched any of Invasion yet, but I am intrigued by the concept and cast. Our reviewer Alex Maidy only gave the show a 5/10 review, but I’m tempted to check it out at some point anyway.
