On Tuesday, Apple TV+ released a trailer for what's to come this summer from the streaming service, and one of those in the spotlight was Simon Kinberg and David Weil's upcoming 10-episode sci-fi drama Invasion. Set to premiere in October, the series follows an alien invasion through the perspective of various individuals from across the globe- with Shamier Anderson, Golshifteh Farahani, Sam Neill, Firas Nassar, and Shioli Kutsuna starring. Now, viewers are getting their first full preview for the project- first with a set of preview images introducing our cast. Following that, we have a teaser that previews how the world reacts when aliens first make their presence known to Earth. Let's just say it's not pretty- as you're about to see.

Now here's your look at the first official  teaser for the upcoming Apple TV+ sci-fi drama Invasion, premiering its first three episodes on Friday, October 22 (with the remaining episodes releasing weekly on Fridays):

Neil takes on the role of Sheriff John Bell Tyson, a weathered rural lawman on the verge of retirement, while Anderson's Trevante Ward is a courageous soldier stationed in Afghanistan when the invasion hits. Farahani is set for the role of Aneesha Malik, a first-generation Syrian immigrant, wife, and mother living in Long Island; while Nassar's Ahmed Malik is Aneesha's husband and a Syrian immigrant and successful businessman. Finally, Shioli Kutsuna is on board as Mitsuki, an intelligent member of mission control in Japan's space program JASA.
