By Simon Kinberg, co-creator of the Apple TV+ sci-fi series “Invasion,” has revealed he has an overall four-season plan for the series which is about to wrap its second season run.
The character-driven science fiction drama series was co-created by Kinberg and David Weil and follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. The recent second season sees the aliens escalating their attacks in an all-out war against the humans.
Speaking with Slashfilm about the possibility of a third season, he explained his overall vision for the series saying he sees the first season as a first act of a film.
The second season meanwhile is: “The first 30 minutes of the second act of a movie, which is where you really start to get into the action”. He then goes on to explain his plan for the rest of the series:
“I saw, in my hopes and dreams, a season 3 like the back half of the second act of a movie where now the action is really accelerated, and the challenges are massive and seem insurmountable.
Then if, God willing, we were to have a fourth season, that’s where, for me, it would be the third act of just final conflict and everything erupting, and then resolving. So there was a build, and it did mimic in many ways the structure of a movie.”
As for where things stand with a potential third season, he explains they were working on scripts for a third season before the writer’s strike and now it’s over they’re back at it. He adds Apple has been very happy with the results of the second season:
“The response to season 2 has been really, really positive, and even bigger than season 1. Apple’s been really happy with the show. So fingers crossed we will get a shot at making season 3.”
