Invasion
Created by Armand Mastroianni
On NBC
A high-stakes sci-fi miniseries about humanity's rapid extinction by alien contagion, driven by urgent tension and existential dread across just two episodes.
Small rocks fall from the sky which, when touched, trigger a latent virus that has always existed in humans and begins mutating them into an alien species. Taking advantage of its hive mentality, the aliens are absolutely dedicated to transforming every human on Earth and do so with alarming swiftness. Only a small group of humans remain who have the medical knowledge to devise antibodies to reverse the effects of the virus.
