If you’ve never seen Falling Skies and are wondering what it’s about, here’s a trailer to pique your interest. The first 30 seconds or so is “before the invasion” footage, though little if any time has been spent on that in the actual series. It does, however, set the stage for what comes next.
The show isn’t always as somber as the music might suggest, but it also isn’t mostly explosions, as the video might suggest. It’s somewhere in between. The intensity and action were both stepped up in Season 2, which makes up the majority of the video included here. Oh, and for you veteran fans, watch closely and you’ll see new footage interspersed throughout, most notably near the end.

Here’s a reminder of what we know of what, and who, is to come in Season 3:
Basic cable’s #1 summer drama among key demos tells the extraordinary story about life and survival in the wake of a catastrophic alien invasion. Noah Wyle stars as a college professor who becomes an unlikely resistance leader in this gripping series from DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Maxim Knight and Connor Jessup also star. In the third season of Falling Skies, Gloria Reuben is set to guest-star in a multiple-episode arc as Marina Perlata, an aide to Wyle’s Tom Mason. In addition, Robert Sean Leonard is slated to guest-star as Roger Kadar, an obsessive but gifted scientist who runs the local power grid and lives underground with his pet rats, earning him the nickname “The Rat King.” In addition to Spielberg, Falling Skies is executive-produced by DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank. Remi Aubuchon and Greg Beeman also serve as executive producers.
Falling Skies Season 3, starring Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Seychelle Gabriel, Sarah Sanguin Carter, Colin Cunningham, Gloria Reuben, and Maxim Knight, will air its two hour premiere on Sunday, June 9 at 9/8c, taking its regular slot of Sundays at 10/9c the following week, on TNT.
