Invasion follows... well, an alien invasion, it's in the name. The show takes place in real time, following multiple people around the world as they have their lives affected by this unexpected and mysterious attack.
Fans of the first season of Invasion loved its slow pace and grounded focus, compared to some of the flashier and more explosive alternatives on screens. Season 2 picks up a few months on from the first, but continues humanity's search for answers.
If this sounds like the TV show for you, here's how to watch Invasion season 2, with pointers on how to catch the first season if you haven't seen it.
How to watch Invasion season 2
You'll be able to watch Invasion season 2, and the first season for the show for that matter, on Apple TV Plus.
Apple's streaming service has a number of popular sci-fi shows including Foundation, Silo and For All Mankind, so it's a good investment for fans of the genre.
The cost of Apple TV Plus is $6.99 / £6.99 per month, but make sure you don't buy the pricier MLS tier, as that only includes soccer streams, no TV shows! We recommend checking out our guide to the best Apple TV Plus free trials before you sign up, in case you can save money on your subscription.
