Apple TV+ is back with an original series and this time it has aliens! The streaming network's latest addition, Invasion, is a sci-fi with alien invasion drama.
The series, created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil, follows a diverse cast of characters from around the globe dealing with the life-changing yet destructive arrival of aliens. The series is somewhat similar to War of the Worlds but focuses more on the people and their stories.
Creator Simon Kinberg presented his take on Invasion:
“This show is a drama set against the backdrop of a massive alien invasion of earth. All of our characters are outsiders dealing with their own version of alienation we want all of these emotional stories magnified by this global traumatic event.”
Invasion all-in-all tracks this particular Earth-shattering event and its debilitating effect on communities, whilst also focusing on the theme of alienation.
