Invasion. Apple TV+’s global alien invasion series now has a premiere date October 22 and a trailer, which looks very sleek and very familiar. But it is always nice to see Sam Neill.
Invasion follows an alien invasion from the perspectives of various characters around the globe, including Neill’s Sheriff John Bell Tyson, who is, of course, on the verge of retirement when the arrival of aliens gives his life a new purpose. (Someone’s always finding a disconcerting purpose in aliens, aren’t they?) Shamier Anderson plays Trevante Ward, a soldier stationed in Afghanistan; Shioli Kutsuna is Mitsuki, who works for Japan’s space program in mission control. Golshifteh Farahani and Firas Nassar play a Long Island couple who are parents and first generation Syrian immigrants.
