In 2019, War of The Worlds made its debut on the television network MyCanal and marked itself to be the third television adaptation of the world-renowned science-horror fiction work by H.G. Wells of the same name. Although it is a reimagining of the famous novel, it is not a word-by-word recreation of it. Instead, the 2019 War of the world tv series is just loosely based on the premise put forward by H.G Wells and creates something original with it.
The first two seasons of the show had a pretty good reception from the audience and the critics, and its success got the chance to renew the show for a third season in July 2021. H.G. Wells, who’s known as “the father of science fiction”, serialized the novel War of the Worlds novel back in 1897, and it still remains one of the best science fiction novels ever published.
Over the decades, there have been countless adaptations of the novel in various forms, and although every adaptation differs drastically from the other, the base premise always tends to derive from the original by H.G. Wells. The novel’s main premise was the invasion of Earth by aliens from mars. The 2019 television adaptation is in the same regard.

As the world is waiting for further response from the unknown, Earth is attacked mercilessly by an alien force.
The aliens have annihilated most of humanity in a single sweep, and only a few groups of humans exist now in different parts of the world. The number of survivors left is painstakingly incomparable to humanity’s previous population of 7 billion, and yet the remaining tries to survive in this bleak situation.
As the survivors of the human species begin to gather, they try to uncover the truth behind the destructive aliens and their reason for making the world into the desolate place that it is now.
