War of the Worlds background

War of the Worlds

The human race is forced to restart its battle against the Martians after they awaken from a decades-long hibernation, reviving the conflict that began in the 1950s.

In the aftermath of the 1953 alien invasion in "War of the World", it's revealed that the extraterrestrial beings weren't killed by bacteria as initially thought. Instead, they're brought back to life when the bacteria is destroyed by radiation, prompting them to launch a devastating war against humanity. A team of experts, including Dr. Harrison Blackwood, microbiologist Suzanne McCullough, computer programmer Norton Drake, and Lt. Colonel Paul Ironhorse, must band together to stop the alien threat, which has the ability to take over human bodies. In the second season, the team faces off against a new wave of invaders in a post-apocalyptic urban landscape, fighting to save the last remnants of humanity from extinction.
