Hold on to your butts—the aliens are coming! The first full-length trailer for Apple TV+’s upcoming sci-fi series Invasion is here, and it has to be seen to be believed. You’ve seen alien invasions on TV and film before, but you haven’t seen one like this.
Invasion presents the moment of first contact as a slow burn horror as governments across the globe start to piece together what’s really going on. All those curious incidents happening in corn fields and battlefields alike? They are connected, and they are ominous.
The series comes from Simon Kinberg (the X-Men franchise) and David Weil (Hunters) and director Jakob Verbruggen (The Alienist). The series boasts an international cast including Shamier Anderson (Awake), Golshifteh Farahani (Extraction), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Firas Nassar (Fauda), and Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool 2).
If Apple TV+’s previous forays into the sci-fi realm (See, For All Mankind, Foundation) are any indication, then Invasion will be can’t-miss programming. Like those shows, Invasion looks like it has all the big budget spectacle, gripping moments, and sprawling casts that the streamer’s dramas have become known for—and it also has plenty of Sam Neill looking shocked while wearing a fedora.
If that’s doesn’t get you hyped for Invasion, I don’t know what will.
Invasion’s first three episodes debut on Apple TV+ on October 22.
