EPIX released a brand-new trailer for the upcoming series War of the Worlds – premiering Sunday, February 16 at 9PM ET/PT and starring a talented international cast led by Golden Globeâ-winner Gabriel Byrne and Oscarâ-nominated actress Elizabeth McGovern, alongside Léa Drucker, Adel Bencherif, Natasha Little and Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Set-in present-day Europe, War of the Worlds is a multi-faceted series, based on the story by H.G. Wells. 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, but 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.
