V is a remake of the 1983 miniseries created by Kenneth Johnson. The new series chronicles the arrival on Earth of a technologically-advanced alien species which ostensibly comes in peace, but actually has sinister motives. ABC cancelled the series after two seasons on May 13, 2011.
Giant spaceships appear over 29 major cities throughout the world. The Visitors claim to only need a small amount of Earth's resources, in exchange for which they will share their advanced technological and medical knowledge. FBI counter-terrorism agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens are actually reptilian humanoids wearing pseudo-human skin.
