War of the Worlds - Fox and Studio Canal

Agent Coulson

Another War of the Worlds series out this winter.

This one starring Gabriel Byrne & Elizabeth McGovern.

The series will take place in present-day Europe, similar to the 2005 film by Steven Spielberg, but it will be a re-imagining of the classic H.G. Wells' novel

In this new take on War Of The Worlds, when astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Earth's population waits for further contact with bated breath, but does not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out, with 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?

So it'll be seen before the 2018 BBC production?!

Is this the same one as the upcoming BBC one?

Nope. Set in a different era.

Oh dear......

Whoops; guess that's what happens when adapting public domain works, nothing's stopping someone else doing the same.

Nothing to go on from that promo; terrible trailer mind you - really hate that modern gimmick in trailer editing of quickly flashing to black as the sound stutters. An obvious ploy to make things MOAR DRAMATIC.

The Black Oil

I particularly liked 'Come with me right now or you're gonna die!'
:pac:

If the beeb actually finds a broadcast slot reasonably soon we could have the War of the War of the Worlds.

So maybe a time machine could be used to go between the shows?

So many people doing remakes, that no one can keep up, so this happens.

Just waiting now for the German, English and American versions of Neverending Story releasing the same year

I was quite looking forward to the BBC remake. The trailer for this one looks shocking.

TheIrishGrover

Just noticed: Oh God. The mother from Downton Abbey is in it. Shockingly terrible actor (In that at least)

I just watched this, I enjoyed it. Trying to work out what happend in episode 5.

They pointed their satalite dish's at a satalite and that made it crash?

TheValeyard

Started watching this on the Sky Box. Its very good, although, very, very bleak. But just finished episode 3. Very impressed by it.

Firblog

5 Episodes in and I have to say I've really enjoyed it so far - Canal+ production, It is set in UK and France (subtitles in French scenes) - Storyline is different to other WoW versions film&series I've seen. Deffo recommend to any one with any interest in sci-fi genre.

We're three episodes in and really enjoying it too. Good for a change to see a different setting, and its very dark too.

The Black Oil

Threads merged.

Icyseanfitz

when is episode 6-8 releasing on now tv?

Smiles35

Is a second series coming for this? There was a mention on Wikipedia that they were 'preparing' a second series. Anywhere to find out if it actually greenlit for definate?

Agent Coulson

Finished it today and it was a hell of a lot better than the BBC version.

Firblog

Only watched the first episode of the BBC one, it was dire.

Martin Tyler AgueroooOO

That was excellent and deserved a bigger platform than it got compared to the dreadful BBC version. The Irish actor was great in it, I had not seen him in anything apart form Love/Hate hopefully this is a good stepping stone for him to bigger things.

Where is/was the Fox and Studio Canal version available?

Agent Coulson

Although noting has been confirmed I was reading today that the creators of the show have been working on a second season since last October.

Excellent news.

Agent Coulson

Season 2 starts next week on Canal+ and in June on Epix in the States no date yet for Fox UK.

It might get a bit bigger of a spotlight now because Normal People's Daisy Edgar Jones is in it which it hit big after season 1 of this.

Agent Coulson

Season 2 trailer

Agent Coulson

Season 2 will be on Disney+ Star here.

fritzelly

Nobody watching it?

Agent Coulson

Season 1 now on Disney+ Star.

Season 2 due to start June 6th.

Season two is released in a good few places from what I've seen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Worlds_(2019_TV_series)

The eight-episode second season was released in full in France on MyCanal on May 17, 2021, before being broadcast from the same day in weekly batches of two episodes, mirroring the release of the first season.[5] The season is set to premiere on Fox on May 24, 2021,[4] and in the United States on Epix on June 6, 2021.
