Starring Gabriel Byrne (ZeroZeroZero), Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey) and Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People), War of the Worlds is a bold, contemporary reimagining of H.G.Wells’ classic novel. When astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Within days, the World’s population is all but wiped out by a devastating attack leaving pockets of humanity in an eerily deserted world. As aliens hunt and kill those left alive, the survivors ask a burning question – who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction? The series will be subtitled in Simplified Chinese and Arabic for SBS On Demand, available immediately following its premiere on SBS.
