Apple TV+ renews acclaimed, expansive sci-fi drama ‘Invasion’ for season three

On Tuesday, Apple TV+ announced a season three renewal for “Invasion,” its sweeping, character-driven, global hit science fiction drama series from Academy Award-nominated and two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer Simon Kinberg (“X-Men” films, “Deadpool” films, “The Martian”) and David Weil (“Hunters”). The third season of “Invasion” is set to go into production later this month.
Following the debut of season two, “Invasion” has been lauded for “upping the ante” with each season and offering a “mélange of intrigue, character development and slow-burn pacing” as well as expert cinematography that “captures the beauty and eeriness” of an alien invasion. The first and second seasons of “Invasion” are now streaming globally on Apple TV+.

“I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to do with our first two seasons of the show with our partners at Apple TV+ and our cast and crew,” said creator and executive producer Simon Kinberg, in a statement. “This new season will continue to build on the scale, stakes and propulsion of the ‘Invasion,’ while keeping our characters front and center, bringing them together in ways that will hopefully surprise and most importantly move our audience, who have been so incredibly supportive and inspiring since day one.”
“Invasion” follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. The acclaimed, action-packed series stars Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson, India Brown, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Paddy Holland and Tara Moayedi. Season two also starred newly added series regulars Enver Gjokaj, Nedra Marie Taylor and Naian González Norvind.
Produced for Apple TV+ by Boat Rocker, “Invasion” is created by Kinberg and Weil, who also serve as executive producers alongside Audrey Chon, David Witz, Alik Sakharov, Andrew Baldwin, Dan Dietz and Katie O’Connell Marsh. Nick Nantell serves as executive producer for Boat Rocker.

MacDailyNews Take: Despite the Sam Neill bait and switch (or was it?), “Invasion” is an interesting series that, after a slow burn, picked up near the end of season one. Recommended!
