On February 16, the new drama War of the Worlds will debut on EPIX at 9 PM.
The 8-episode series, set in present-day Europe and based on the story by H.G. Wells, focuses on what happens when astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy. It is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. The world’s population waits for further contact with baited breath. They do not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out; just pockets of humanity are left in an eerily deserted world. As alien ships appear in the sky, the survivors ask a burning question – who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction?
The cast includes Elizabeth McGovern and Gabriel Byrne.
