There he will be involved in the disappearance of a girl from his school, and that will lead him to discover the darkest truths of a place that has always been marked by disappearances, deaths, and urban legends.

Invasion (August 23 – Apple TV)

Apple TV original productions are among the most anticipated each month, especially those that are based on science fiction. "Invasion" is proof of this, and this second season promises to be much better than the previous one.

Emotional tensions, fear, and mistrust will reach higher levels as humanity continues to search for ways to survive the alien invasion.
