Zombie attacks, alien invasions, UFO sightings, supernatural things and conspiracy theories are everyone's go-to on boring days and as the binge-watching culture takes over, alien drama series like Apple TV+'s Invasion are the ones to look out for.
Directed by Jakob Verbruggen and Amanda Marsalis, the alien invasion drama is an upcoming series that will be available to stream on Apple TV+.

Here's everything viewers need to know about Apple TV+'s Invasion.
When will 'Invasion' release?
Invasion is all set to release globally on Apple TV+ with the first three episodes coming out on October 22, followed by new episodes weekly, every Friday. The 10-episode sci-fi drama series is from Academy and Emmy Award-nominated writer/producer/director Simon Kinberg and David Weil.

The official synopsis for Apple TV+'s Invasion reads:
"Earth is visited by an alien species that threatens humanity's existence. Events unfold in real time through the eyes of five ordinary people across the globe as they struggle to make sense of the chaos unraveling around them."
