After largely focusing on the various stories of characters spread across the globe,Invasionhas gradually ramped up its explorations of the aliens, their technology, and their purpose in coming to Earth. In the first two seasons,Invasion’s charactersspent their time desperately trying to survive in the wake of the aliens' arrival while coping with their own everyday struggles.
Now,Invasionseason 3’s trailerhas teased a much more action-focused story, including a mission that will unite the characters against the aliens.

Well, I think that there were a couple of things from season 2. One is people wanted to know more about the aliens, and this season, we really deliver like the final, ultimate alien, the sentient being that’s behind all of this, and more of a sense of why they’re here, and what they want. Certainly, audiences were craving that, and I understand.
What Kinberg’s Reveal Means For Invasion Season 3
Simon Kinberg’s comments aboutInvasionseason 3 bode well for the underrated sci-fi show. After two seasons ofInvasionbuilding up a huge enemy for humankind, finally revealing exactly why the aliens came to Earth and what they want is going to be huge for the series.
The season’s trailer already highlights that the characters are going to come together in a bigger way than ever before and thatInvasion’s alien threathas evolved, so season 3 will have a lot of ground to cover in its 10 episodes. Especially considering Kinberg’s quote hints at the “ultimate alien” enemy, audiences can expect some big surprises.
What’s more,Invasionseason 3 attempting to answer the big alien questions means that audiences could get a completely new understanding of the events of seasons 1 and 2. Revealing the true goal of the aliens will shed light on both the past and future, potentially giving the characters a real chance at fighting for the planet.
Our Take On Invasion Season 3 Answering The Big Alien Questions
Invasionraised the stakes across seasons 1 and 2, but the series has only toyed with letting audiences understand what is really happening. The show has done a good job of raising this tension and fear surrounding its titular event, but it can only maintain a slow burn for so long before the flame fizzles out entirely.
The narrative arc ofInvasionseasons 1 and 2 was compelling because of the characters' imperfections and their grueling journeys, but this drama would mean nothing if the show never lived up to its great sci-fi premise. Kinberg revealing that season 3 will finally answer those big questions about the aliens is a necessary step forInvasionto take.
Learning why all of these horrible events have happened and what the aliens are really doing on Earth can make the characters' journeys worth the trouble. Excitingly, Kinberg’s quote also means thatInvasionshould be faster-paced and more action-centered this season, making it even more fun to watch.
