mFans have been overjoyed as Apple TV+ has finally dropped the third season of its hit sci-fi drama, Invasion, which deals with an alien invasion on Earth and how it affects the lives of ordinary people. The second season ended on a cliffhanger as Trevante Cole (Shamier Anderson) entered a portal to the aliens' mothership, where he met up with Caspar Morrow (Billy Barrett) and the pair started to navigate its corridors in a hope to end the ongoing occupation. Mitsuki Yamato (Shioli Kutsuna) also collapsed after using her psychic abilities to keep the portal open.
Fans have been left on the edge of their seats since October 2023 when the final episode aired, and it appears for many the payoff has been worth the wait. Thousands tuned in for the opening episode of the third season, The Ones We Leave Behind, after a two-year wait and many were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts.

The first season had me hooked," while a second added: "Very mad show. Then I clocked season 3 of invasion. APPLE got me locked in."
