Remember the V mini-series and TV series of the mid 1980s?
The sci-fi saga will be hitting TV screens later this year with a modern-day remake series simply called V.
Premise
Giant spaceships appear over all major cities of the world, the alien "Visitors" claiming to come in peace. As some humans begin to doubt the sincerity of the Visitors, Homeland Security agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens have spent decades infiltrating human governments and businesses and are now in the final stages of their plan to take over the planet. Erica joins the resistance movement, which includes Ryan, a Visitor sleeper agent who wants to save humanity. However, the aliens have won favor among the people of Earth by curing a variety of diseases, and have recruited Earth's youth, including Erica's son, to serve unknowingly as spies.
Sadly, the series does not involve Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the franchise and author of
V: The Second Generation.
