The series, written and executive produced by Kinberg and Weil, is set across multiple continents as an alien invasion occurs and will explore the event from multiple perspectives around the world.
Alongside Kinberg and Weil, the series is being executive produced by Audrey Chon, Amy Kaufman, Elisa Ellis for Platform One and Jakob Verbruggen, who is also serving as director for the project.
Invasion is one of the first U.S. series to resume production with COVID-19 safety protocols and and the second at Apple after For All Mankind resumed filming on its second season on the Sony lot earlier this month.
After initially announcing the acquisition of the series in early 2019, Apple TV+’s Invasion from Simon Kinberg (Dark Phoenix) and David Weil (Hunters) has begun to build its cast with Sam Neill (Jurassic World: Dominion), Shamier Anderson (Bruised), Golshifteh Farahani (Extraction) and more, according to Deadline.
