All-out war is about to hit.
It’s been a long wait but it’s finally time to find out what happens next in Apple TV+’s Invasion season 2.
Season 1 ended on quite the cliffhanger, with an extra-terrestrial war about to start. As for who will make it out alive, only time will tell…
The sci-fi series tells the story of various different humans across the globes whose lives end up being intertwined when an alien invasion hits Earth.
Our heroes were left in danger at the end of season 1 – here’s everything you need to know about season 2.
Invasion season 2 on Apple TV+ release date
Invasion season 2 will begin airing on Apple TV+ on 23rd August 2023.
Episodes will air weekly with the final instalment coming in October.
Invasion season 2 on Apple TV+ cast
Many of the cast we’ve come to know and love throughout season 1 will be back, with some new additions too.
Cast members set to return include:
- Golshifteh Farahani as Aneesha Malik
- Shamier Anderson as Trevante Cole
- Shioli Kutsuna as Mitsuki Yamato
- Billy Barratt as Caspar Morrow
- Azhy Robertson as Luke Malik
- Tara Moayedi as Sarah Malik
- Daisuke Tsuji as Kaito Kawaguchi
- India Brown as Jamila Huston
- Paddy Holland as Monty Cuttermill
Joining the cast as regulars for season 2 are:
- Enver Gjokaj
- Nedra Marie Taylor
- Naian González Norvind
However, it seems some cast members won’t make a return. Following his presumed death in season 1, we’re not expecting Ahmed Malik, played by Firas Nassar, to make a comeback, leaving Aneesha to protect her family on her own.
Considering the emotional fate of astronaut Hinata in season 1, it’s also unlikely that actress Rinko Kikuchi will return – however, there is a possibility we might see flashback scenes considering the character’s relationship with Mitsuki.
Shioli Kutsuna will be back as Mitsuki, the JASA employee who turned into Earth’s best hope at making contact with the aliens, while Billy Barratt’s return confirms we’ll find out exactly what happened to Caspar.
Invasion season 2 plot: What will happen?
An official synopsis reads: “The action-packed second season of Invasion picks up just months later with the aliens escalating their attacks in an all-out war against the humans. The series stars Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson, India Brown, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Paddy Holland and Tara Moayedi. New series regulars joining season two include Enver Gjokaj, Nedra Marie Taylor and Naian González Norvind.”
Season 1 left us at the turning point when war began on Earth – so it’s safe to say season 2 will be even more action-packed.
Is there a trailer for Invasion season 2?
