The American sci-fi series "V" ("Visitors") was released on Russian television screens in 2011. In 2012, the second season of the series was shown, which ended with a kind of culmination - the death of one of the main characters. Despite the fact that the ratings of the series were very high and viewers were waiting for the continuation of the story, the producing TV channel ABC decided to close the project. As it turned out, this decision was still not final.
Fear the Danes who bring gifts
The plot of the series is built in the best traditions of the genre - aliens arrive on Earth and offer generous gifts. The Earthlings happily agree, since the technologies of the aliens who call themselves Visitors are far superior to those of the Earth: omnipotent medical care, inexhaustible sources of energy, wonderful technologies that make life easier for ordinary people.
All aliens are amazingly beautiful, polite and declare that "they go in peace - always."
However, as expected, monstrous monsters are hiding under the mask of cloned human skin. The predatory reptile civilization travels from planet to planet in search of new genetic material to improve its race. Earth has long attracted the attention of the Visitors, and they have infiltrated their agents into human society to prepare for an invasion.
During the work of agents, many people have been changed the DNA code to prepare them to unite with the race of conquerors, and after the arrival of the ship of Queen Anne's visitors, such a change becomes widespread.
Following the usual development of the plot, not all earthlings unconditionally believed the alien donors. The Fifth Column resistance group aims to first identify and destroy the infiltrated agents, and then - to prevent the Visitors from taking over the Earth.
By the end of the second season, the confrontation between the Visitors and the "Fifth Column" reaches its climax, and on the way is already a huge fleet of aliens, ready to wipe out humanity from the face of the Earth.
Familiar faces
A well-filmed classic science fiction about the struggle of earthlings with alien invaders could not fail to attract the attention of the audience. The actors loved by other projects also contributed to the popularity of the series.
The beauty Morena Baccarin, who plays the main antagonist, Queen Anne, is known to viewers from the TV series Firefly and Stargate. Elizabeth Mitchell, who plays the main positive character of FBI agent Erica Evans, gained popularity after her role as Juliet Burke in the project "Lost."
To be continued
In the immediate aftermath of the series' closure in 2011, executive producer Scott Wolfe claimed to believe in the project. Subsequently, representatives of the ABC TV channel made a statement that the series would indeed be renewed for a third season in 2014. However, since ABC executives have not yet decided on a specific date, the start of filming for the third season has been postponed.
