“Invasion” is a vast, character-driven science fiction drama series from Academy Award-nominated and two-time Emmy Award-nominated producers Simon Kinberg and David Weil that follows an extraterrestrial invasion from different perspectives around the world. “Invasion” stars Shamier Anderson, Golshifteh Farahani, Sam Neill, Firas Nassar, and Shioli Kutsuna and takes place across many countries.

The action-packed second season of “Invasion” continues up just months later, with the aliens expanding their attacks in an all-out battle against mankind. The trailer provides a gripping sneak glimpse into the next season, in which aliens and destruction abound, answers are aggressively chased, and the fight for the world’s existence continues.

I chatted with Simon Kinberg after watching the full second season to understand why, how, and where his team planned to take myself and other viewers in comparison to the first season.

“If the first season was a really slow buildup of the quiet before the storm, I wanted the second season to feel like you were thrown straight into the storm,” Kinberg told Entertainment Weekly. In season two of Invasion, you are immediately immersed in a world where human life is dependent on scientific study and militias.

He intended for the series to be viewed from the viewpoint and perspective of others on a worldwide scale. Simon described the series as “an alien invasion television show meets the film Babel.” “You’re seeing them from totally different perspectives all around the world because, in those global alien invasion movies, you often don’t see them from a global perspective,” Kinberg went on to say. His purpose was to demonstrate how an alien invasion of this scale should be understood through the lens of shared experience.

“I wanted the show to feel like it was not so far-fetched that it entered into fantasy territory,” Kinberg said. As a true science fiction fan, he wanted to keep a sense of reality in terms of human experience and how society would react and behave in times of uncertain catastrophes.

Season two, like season one, ended on a cliffhanger. Simon explained that this is done on design since he enjoys series in which solving one mystery leads to solving another. “Ideally, the show will answer all of the questions at some point.” “For me, this season was about answering a lot more questions than we did in the first season while still leaving some mystery for future seasons,” Kinberg explained. It is intended to not only build suspense, but also to allow people to argue the various perspectives and acts made by characters.

At the end of our talk, he intimated that season three will be “full battle mode.”
