ABC电视台09年秋季档新剧《V星入侵 V》翻拍自80年代的同名剧集，讲述了佯装友善的外星人入侵地球的故事。故事设定乍看起来颇为老套，但跟一般科幻剧相区别的是，剧中的外星人跟地球人并无二致。剧集表面上围绕着地球人和外星人展开，但其本质上依然是信任和背叛的人类社会命题。剧集由HDFilmes和华纳兄弟联合出品，由艾美奖获奖剧集《4400》制片人Scott Peters监制，首集Pilot由Yves Simoneau(4400)执导。出演《V星入侵》的演员有Elizabeth Mitchell(迷失Lost)、Morris Chestnut、Joel Gretsch(Taken、4400)、Lourdes Benedicto(The Nine)、Logan Huffman、Laura Vandervoort(Smallville)，还有Morena Baccarin(Firefly)以及Scott Wolf(The Nine)。
故事开始于一天早上，人们醒来发现城市上空悬浮着巨大的外星飞船。而从飞船中出来的外星人表示对地球人并无恶意，是为追求和平而来，并赠送了超出人们想象的先进科技。但友好的外星人的有意显然没有表面上看起来这般简单。国土安全局特工Erica Evans（Elizabeth Mitchell） 在追杀一起恐怖袭击的过程中，偶然发现了外星来客的真正目的。但当 Erica 四处奔走却惹来杀生之祸时才明白，真正的外星人早已经在不知不觉中渗入了人类社会的重要机构，也包括她供职的国土安全局，一时间敌友难辨。走投无路的她开始和“反外星人抵抗运动”组织暗中合作，并结识了抵抗运动的领袖 Jack Landry 神父(Joel Gretsch)和一个支持地球人的V星人Ryan。
老版《V星入侵》曾在1983年和1984年上映，之后也陆续推出了相关的小说、动漫以及游戏产品。
