Apple TV+ Renews Global Hit Series “Invasion” for Season Two
Season one finale of sci-fi drama series from creators Simon Kinberg and David Weil premieres this Friday, December 10
Apple TV+ today announced a second season pick-up for “Invasion,” the moving, character-driven science fiction drama series from Academy and Emmy Award-nominee Simon Kinberg (“X-Men” films, “Deadpool” films, “The Martian”) and David Weil (“Hunters”). The news arrives ahead of the epic finale episode of season one, which will premiere globally this Friday, December 10, on Apple TV+.
Set across multiple continents, “Invasion” follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. The series stars Golshifteh Farahani, Shamier Anderson, Shioli Kutsuna, Firas Nassar, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Tara Moayedi, Daisuke Tsuji and Sam Neill.
“I’m profoundly grateful to Apple for being so supportive every step of the way, and trusting us to make a deeply human, emotional alien-invasion story. And most of all I’m thankful to our amazing fans, without whom we wouldn’t have this opportunity to continue the invasion. I’m super excited about what we’re planning for season two, expanding our universe in the most intimate and epic ways” said series co-creator and executive producer Simon Kinberg.
“From day one, we have been hooked on this unique, engrossing and very human telling of an invasion story which deftly explores how the lives of different characters around the world are impacted when Earth is under siege,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “It has been so rewarding to witness global audiences respond to the brilliant performances, the captivating mystery and the sweeping cinematic vision, not to mention some pretty terrifying alien intruders. We couldn’t be more excited for viewers to see what ‘Invasion’ creators David Weil and Simon Kinberg have in store for these characters – as well as our planet – in season two.”
“Invasion” season one is written and executive produced by Kinberg and Weil. Emmy Award-nominee Jakob Verbruggen (“The Alienist,” “The Fall”) directs and serves as executive producer. Audrey Chon, Amy Kaufman and Elisa Ellis serve as executive producers alongside Andrew Baldwin, who also writes. Katie O’Connell Marsh serves as executive producer for Boat Rocker Studios.

What do you think? Have you been watching the Invasion TV series? Are you glad to hear that this Apple TV+ series has been renewed for a second season?
I did enjoy the only season they had. Sure, at times the story lagged, but the characters where good. It would have been nice to see how Larkin turned out and how her husband reacted, but there can be no 2nd season with Lisa Sheridan as she died of achronic alcoholism, with Benzodiazepine abuse and a brain injury in 2019. Guess the writers could say the orange fish kept her.
Just finished binging this fantastic series. Great dialogue, casting, rotating story lines! When’s the second season?
It was mind blowing to see the town of Isabel, OK used in the opening episode! Nobody know about this place but my in-laws lived there for many, many yrs before their passing & we visited often. That was so cool to other family members when I told them. Yes, it started off slowly & took the time to show us who all these people are & how the world is being affected simultaneously. Some people have no patience & want the juice before they understand what the juice is about. I enjoyed the characters as I got to know… Read more »
Love love love the series so pleased there is going to be another series.
Please don’t renew this show. It was awful and no point of a story line. Nothing makes sense and it’s so slow with next to no alien invasion.
I won’t be tuning in an might just cancel my Apple TV + subscription.
Agreed. I am a huge fan of classic science fiction and was looking forward to watching invasion. Unfortunately, it seems to be a trend to focus on the characters’ social dramas while the premise of the show vaguely lurks in the background. They also introduced Sam Neil as the main character in the tv trailer but he was only in the pilot episode and then we are introduced to other characters(it reminds me of the Godzilla movie with Bryan Cranston). This show could have been amazing and made a fantastic flagship for apple tv but it is boring and unwatchable.
this show recently got an award, the most meh show of 2021.
it wasn’t possible to not see the renewal, because it’s apple and they can burn money on bad shows, disregarding the feedback – they just need to build filler content for their platform.
Surprised the Apple is doing a 2nd season. The story is achingly slow.
So glad it has been renewed! The twists and turns are great and they did a good job picking out the actors!
I’ve been watching it weekly and really have enjoyed it. Great plot twists in the final two episodes.
Exellent Series, glad to see another season
I am a big fan of the show. I enjoyed the international setting, the character development – especially the Japanese characters and last but not least, the apocalyptic theme. Very glad to hear the show has been renewed for a Season 2!
I really enjoyed the character development and overall feel of the show. Good news.
Show moved at the speed of molasses! Plus final 10 minutes dark & hard to see.
Yawn!
