Per press release, “Apple today revealed the premiere date and teaser for the eagerly awaited ten-episode science fiction drama series Invasion, 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 sweeping, character-driven Apple Original series, directed by Emmy Award-nominee Jakob Verbruggen (The Alienist, The Fall) and produced by Boat Rocker Studios, will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first three episodes on October 22nd, followed by new episodes weekly, every Friday.
“Set across multiple continents, Invasion follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. The series stars Shamier Anderson (Bruised, Awake), Golshifteh Farahani (Extraction, Paterson, Body of Lies), Sam Neill (Jurassic World: Dominion, Peaky Blinders), Firas Nassar (Fauda), and Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool 2, The Outsider).
“Invasion is written and executive produced by Kinberg and Weil. In addition to directing, Verbruggen serves as executive producer. Audrey Chon (The Twilight Zone), Amy Kaufman (When They See Us), and Elisa Ellis serve as executive producers alongside Andrew Baldwin (The Outsider), who also writes. Katie O’Connell Marsh (Narcos, Hannibal) serves as executive producer for Boat Rocker Studios.”
Invasion is the latest entry into Apple TV+’s more thrilling offerings, with M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant being one of the service’s flagship titles, whose second season premiered earlier this year and has already been renewed for a third season. Just last week, Apple TV+ premiered Lisey’s Story, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, with King himself having written all episodes in the series.
