The story of humanity’s fight for survival continues as the third season of Apple TV+’s sci-fi drama Invasion moves into its final episodes. With the main characters’ paths finally converging, the action builds towards the season’s climax. Here is everything you need to know about the next chapter, Episode 7.
The new episode, titled “Outpost 17,” is scheduled to arrive on Friday, October 3, 2025. It will be available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+. The season follows a weekly release pattern, with the finale set for late October.
Where and When to Watch
Invasion Season 3 releases new episodes weekly on Apple TV+. Episode 7 will be available to stream starting at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time (3:00 a.m. Eastern Time) on its release date. This global rollout means viewers worldwide get access to the episode at the same moment.
To watch, you need an active Apple TV+ subscription. The service offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, after which it costs $9.99 per month. Previous seasons of the show are also available on the platform for anyone who needs to catch up.
What to Expect in Episode 7
The third season brings the show’s main characters together for a critical mission to infiltrate the alien mothership. Creator Simon Kinberg described this season as a kind of “low-key Avengers season” where the core storylines finally collide.
Episode 6 set the stage for increased coordination among the protagonists. Following a personal loss, the character Verna had a close encounter that changed her attitude. Meanwhile, Jamila and Trevante began tracking down allies, explicitly setting up new team formations. These developments suggest that Episode 7 will focus on the characters working together rather than acting alone.
The official title for Episode 7 is “Outpost 17,” which hints at a possible mission to a specific location. The threat has escalated with the emergence of deadly “apex aliens,” and the heroes must use all their experience to save humanity.
