Fans have waited two long years, but at last, the aliens are back! Invasion returns to AppleTV+ on Friday, August 22, for its third season.

Onscreen, it has also been two years since Trevante (Shamier Anderson, Wynonna Earp, John Wick: Chapter 4) and Caspar (Billy Barratt, Responsible Child) brought down the alien mothership. As the season opens, life on Earth has almost returned to normal and the aliens are no longer a threat – or so it seems.

We asked Invasion’s showrunner, Oscar and Emmy nominee Simon Kinberg, how the big time jump changes the story. With just a few minutes to chat, Kinberg also spoke about the tremendous loss and trauma the characters are carrying as they try to move on.

Throughout the conversation, Kinberg promised plenty of action but also hinted at mystery, connection and love.

The third season on Invasion premieres on AppleTV+ tomorrow, with one episode, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through October 24.
