One of the best aspects of TV series reaching blockbuster level is that now we have the opportunity to tell and watch stories that would otherwise be impossible to be made. Not many years ago, a production with Apple TV+’s Invasion magnitude on TV would be unthinkable, or at least very difficult to get greenlit. First announced back in 2019, Invasion got a first teaser trailer during this year’s Apple Summer Preview in June. Now, the full trailer provides a deeper insight into how the world has reacted to the invasion, and how it affected our infrastructure to the point of almost sending humanity into a post-apocalyptic scenario.

We still only get a brief look at the aliens, though, so we’ll probably have to wait until late October to know exactly what they look like. The new sci-fi show chronicles an alien invasion on Earth seen through the eyes of multiple people across the planet – and outside it too.

Invasion was filmed on location in New York, United Kingdom, Japan, and Morocco, and production had to be halted due to COVID-19. Production resumed in August 2020, with the show being one of the first to return to shooting in the wake of the pandemic.
