Apple TV+ today announced a season three renewal for Invasion, its sweeping, global hit, character-driven 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. The first and second seasons are now streaming globally on Apple TV+.
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.
“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.
Kinberg added: “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.
