War of the Worlds (2019)
2019 · 3 seasons · Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Drama
When astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. The world’s population waits for further contact with bated breath. They do not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out by a devastating attack; pockets of humanity are left in an eerily deserted world. As aliens hunt and kill those left alive, the survivors ask a burning question – who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction?
Created by Howard Overman. Starring Gabriel Byrne, Léa Drucker, Bayo Gbadamosi, Molly Windsor and Ty Tennant.
