Sci-fi drama Invasion will return for a third season, Apple TV+ said Tuesday. Apparently, it’s going to take at least 30 episodes — 10 per season — to declare an outcome to mankind’s desperate global battle with alien invaders. (Or maybe more, with a fourth season, if the war drags on.)
The streamer said production on the season three of Invasion will start before the end of February.
Apple TV+ renews sci-fi drama Invasion for third season
Announcing the Invasion season-three renewal, Apple TV+ described the show as a “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 series follows different characters in different regions as a global alien invasion unfolds. Humans must work together and continuously adapt to keep fighting the at-times baffling extraterrestrial forces.
“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 Kinberg. “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.”
