Usually, aliens have tried to invade and we have found a way of fighting them off. But our story begins with, \u2018OK, they have won. None of our attempts to stop them in any way succeeded.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe aliens are going, \u2018OK, we now run this place.\u2019 Rather than it being about Earth trying to fight off the aliens, this is about the aliens going, \u2018We are now in charge.\u2019 And it turns out that it\u2019s a nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully we don\u2019t have much longer to wait before the nightmare finds its way to our screens.<\/p> <p><strong>We Are Not Alone will air on Dave and UKTV Play in 2022.
