War of the Worlds
Doomed to survive.
Created by Howard Overman
On Canal+
A bleak, high-stakes survival drama where humanity faces extinction from an unknowable alien threat in a devastated world.
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 bated breath. They do not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out by a devastating attack; pockets of humanity are left 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?
