Our world is no longer our own.
Another new take on the classic H.G. Wells story “War of the Worlds” is headed to Epix, with Gabriel Byrne (Hereditary) and Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey) leading the cast.
The series will premiere on Sunday, February 16, 2020 at 9pm, we’ve learned this week, and we’ve also been provided with the official trailer. You’ll find it down below.
Set in contemporary Europe, the reimagining will follow the pockets of humanity left on earth following an apocalyptic extra-terrestrial strike.
Written and created by Howard Overman (Misfits), the eight episode series was directed by Gilles Coulier (Cargo) and Richard Clark (Versailles).
The cast also includes Léa Drucker (Le Bureau Des Légendes), Natasha Little (Silent Witness), Daisy Edgar Jones (Cold Feet), Stéphane Caillard (Marseille), Adel Bencherif (The Prophet) and Guillaume Gouix (The Returned).
