How to watch Invasion season 2

You'll be able to watch Invasion season 2, and the first season for the show for that matter, on Apple TV Plus.

Apple's streaming service has a number of popular sci-fi shows including Foundation, Silo and For All Mankind, so it's a good investment for fans of the genre.

The cost of Apple TV Plus is $6.99 / £6.99 per month, but make sure you don't buy the pricier MLS tier, as that only includes soccer streams, no TV shows! We recommend checking out our guide to the best Apple TV Plus free trials before you sign up, in case you can save money on your subscription.
