Invasion season 3 release schedule – When are new episodes out on Apple TV+?
The battle for Earth continues – find out when each new chapter of Invasion lands on Apple TV+.
Invasion has returned for a third season – and the premiere has already set the tone for what promises to be the show’s most ambitious run yet.
The Apple TV+ sci-fi drama has steadily grown a loyal following thanks to its eerie atmosphere and globe-spanning story, and season 3 wastes no time in raising the stakes.
The new season is faster-paced and more action-packed, with creator Simon Kinberg teasing it as a kind of "low-key Avengers season" where the core characters’ storylines finally collide.
Familiar faces including Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson and India Brown are all back, while Erika Alexander joins as a new series regular.
Early glimpses suggest plenty of surprises to come – from evolved "apex aliens" to Mitsuki’s mysterious connection with the invaders. If the opener was any indication, fans can expect higher stakes, more spectacle and thrilling character drama as the story unfolds week by week.
Kinberg previously opened up about envisioning four seasons for the series in order to do justice to all of the human stories.
He told RadioTimes.com: "From the beginning, I envisioned it as a four-season show, as an arc that starts from last season, which was a much slower burn character season, kind of day one of the invasion, and then season 2, it’s much more of the invasion, you’re really now in a war, it’s a much more active season with much more momentum to it, purposefully.
"And then that war would take some twists and turns and we could follow it through to the end for another couple of seasons."
