With a budget of around 170 million euros: Antwerp resident Jakob Verbruggen directed Apple TV+’s showpiece | TV

TVIt should be the new ‘Game of Thrones’, a hit à la ‘Squid Game’. High expectations at the release of ‘Invasion’ today on Apple TV+, a science fiction showpiece directed by ‘our’ Jakob Verbruggen (41). With a budget of about 170 million euros, the most expensive series that a Flemish person could ever make. “But with a lot of money you can also make something bad, you know”, tempers the Antwerp resident with 8 years of experience in Hollywood. “My homework remains the same.”
