The new trailer for "Invasion" reveals more about what people can expect from the upcoming show coming next month. Watching the video, the first few moments reveal the main cast of characters, all in different parts of the world, but going through the same scary, confusing experience. Sheriff Tyson is experiencing strange events in his small town, Ward is having firsthand encounters with the invading creatures overseas, and Mitsuki is leading a JASA mission to got to space to "make contact" with the aliens, which doesn't appear to go very well.
