Invasion season 2 on Apple TV+: Release date, cast, latest news
All-out war is about to hit.
Sci-fi alien invasion series, Invasion, is returning to Apple TV+ this August for more anticipated drama, not least because an extra-terrestrial war is well and truly about to start.
But what will happen next? Well, seeing as season 1 ended on quite the cliffhanger, we can only wait to see who will make it out alive and whether humanity will adapt in the same way the aliens in the series have.
The sci-fi series tells the story of various different humans across the globes whose lives end up being intertwined when an alien invasion hits Earth.
The first season of Invasion started in dramatic fashion, with Sam Neill's hero Sheriff Jim Bell Tyson being killed off in the very first episode, but could more twists be in store? We're almost certain of it and from the looks of the first-look clip of the series, it's set to be all-out war.
With that, here's everything you need to know about season 2 of Alien Invasion.

Invasion season 2 on Apple TV+ release date
Invasion season 2 will begin airing on Apple TV+ on 23rd August 2023.

Invasion season 2 on Apple TV+ cast
Many of the cast we've come to know and love throughout season 1 will be back, with some new additions too.
Cast members set to return include:
- Golshifteh Farahani as Aneesha Malik
- Shamier Anderson as Trevante Cole
- Shioli Kutsuna as Mitsuki Yamato
- Billy Barratt as Caspar Morrow
- Azhy Robertson as Luke Malik
- Tara Moayedi as Sarah Malik
- Daisuke Tsuji as Kaito Kawaguchi
- India Brown as Jamila Huston
- Paddy Holland as Monty Cuttermill
Joining the cast as regulars for season 2 are:
- Enver Gjokaj
- Nedra Marie Taylor
- Naian González Norvind
However, it seems some cast members won't make a return. Following his presumed death in season 1, we're not expecting Ahmed Malik, played by Firas Nassar, to make a comeback, leaving Aneesha to protect her family on her own.
Considering the emotional fate of astronaut Hinata in season 1, it's also unlikely that actress Rinko Kikuchi will return - however, there is a possibility we might see flashback scenes considering the character's relationship with Mitsuki.
Shioli Kutsuna will be back as Mitsuki, the JASA employee who turned into Earth's best hope at making contact with the aliens, while Billy Barratt's return confirms we'll find out exactly what happened to Caspar.
Invasion season 2 plot: What will happen?
An official synopsis reads: "The action-packed second season of Invasion picks up just months later with the aliens escalating their attacks in an all-out war against the humans. The series stars Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson, India Brown, Billy Barratt, Azhy Robertson, Paddy Holland and Tara Moayedi. New series regulars joining season two include Enver Gjokaj, Nedra Marie Taylor and Naian González Norvind."
Season 1 left us at the turning point when war began on Earth - so it's safe to say season 2 will be even more action-packed.
Is there a trailer for Invasion season 2?
