When will the series “The War of the Worlds Season 2” be released?

The continuation of the fantastic series “The War of the Worlds” is not planned. The series was shot based on the novel of the same name by George Wells, which was written in 1897.

The novel was first filmed in 1953, a rock opera was staged in 1976, and in 2005, the famous Hollywood film director Steven Spielberg helped create a new full-length film adaptation, which is still popular today.

Plot

Events unfold at the beginning of the XX century. George and Amy are going through hard times, but both are eager to be with each other. George’s ex-wife, with whom he broke up before meeting with Amy, does not agree to divorce. The offended woman offers her ex-husband to wait for her death before he can be legally married to Amy.

The reason for the breakdown was the inability to have children from his wife. Now George has to live out of wedlock with Amy. But the man is very worried – this century does not mean living in sin, with a woman whom you cannot call your wife. Trying to give Amy all the best, George grabs at every opportunity.

Amy herself is insanely happy. She was embarrassed by questions about marriage, and she was really tired of the nit-picking from acquaintances. But this does not stop her from enjoying family life. She works with a local professor on various abnormalities. Soon one of these phenomena occurs – a huge meteorite flies into the nearest forest…

While studying it nature, Amy learns that the professor knew about the fall of the space inhabitant long before this day. The meteorite itself begins to change, and as a result, people understand how serious danger they face. Familiar friends die before their eyes, flashing for no apparent reason. And Amy and George almost lost each other due to an absurd accident.

The professor disappears, and George’s brother, Frederick, with whom he did not communicate in recent years, is now trying to find him. But life in England is not so rosy, because soon other meteorites arrive and people first begin to learn about life in other worlds. Will the inhabitants of the planet be able to fight back enemies? And are aliens really enemies of earthlings?
