V

In this compelling series about the world's first encounter with an alien race, appearances can be deceiving. Simultaneously emerging and hovering over every major city in the world, the Visitors (or V's) promoted a message of peace, urging mankind to unite and claiming that Earth could learn much from the wonders of the V's technology. While the world quickly embraced the V's as saviors, FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans (series star ELIZABETH MITCHELL) — at the time, investigating a terrorist cell — discovered that the Visitors were not who they said they were, and that they and their leader, Anna (series star MORENA BACCARIN), were after something far more devious and diabolical than anyone could imagine: the destruction of humanity. Erica is now part of a group of resistance fighters called the Fifth Column, other dissidents who believe the Visitors have something to hide.

Anna and Diana (recurring guest star JANE BADLER) square off in the dark bowels of the mothership, where Diana has been for 15 years without a single glimpse of Anna. Meanwhile, Erica has Tyler's blood analyzed, and learns the V's did something sinister to her while she was pregnant with him. Recurring guest stars also include ROARK CRITCHLOW, REKHA SHARMA, MARK HILDRETH and CHRISTOPHER SHYER.

When Erica learns her partner, Malik (recurring guest star REKHA SHARMA), is a Visitor, she must fight for her life — literally — so that Anna doesn't find out she's Fifth Column. Meanwhile, Anna learns that Malik is missing and orders Ryan to find her, and Lisa realizes her body is beginning to change, causing her to become more and more like her mother. Recurring guest stars also include JANE BADLER, BRET HARRISON, ROARK CRITCHLOW, MARK HILDRETH and CHRISTOPHER SHYER.

After a radical faction of the Fifth Column murders three Peace Ambassadors, Erica goes on a mission to hunt down their leader, Eli Cohn (recurring guest star ODED FEHR -- Sleeper Cell, Resident Evil: Extinction, The Mummy), a former Mossad agent. Meanwhile, as Jack and other priests around the globe begin to speak out against the Visitors, Anna heads to the Vatican in an effort to convince the leaders of organized religion that the Visitors truly are "of peace." Plus, Erica is assigned a new partner, FBI agent Chris Bolling (recurring guest star JAY KARNES -- The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Burn Notice, Brothers & Sisters). Recurring guest star JANE BADLER also appears as Diana.

Anna uses her newest gift to mankind, "Concordia," as a cover to hide an invading fleet of breeding vessels that will be used to ensure the perpetuation of Visitors for future generations. Meanwhile, Eli Cohn (recurring guest star ODED FEHR) tries to convince Erica and the Fifth Column that the Concordia gala is the perfect time to assassinate Anna. Recurring guest stars also include JAY KARNES, ROARK CRITCHLOW, NICHOLAS LEA and CHRISTOPHER SHYER.

Anna, enraged at the increasing audacity of the Fifth Column attacks, enlists Ryan in an attempt to wipe out the Fifth Column in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, Father Travis (recurring guest star SCOTT HYLANDS -- Night Heat), following Vatican orders, asks Jack to leave the church. Plus, Lisa meets her grandmother, Diana (recurring guest star JANE BADLER) — who Anna said was dead — for the first time. Recurring guest stars also include ODED FEHR, JAY KARNES, ROARK CRITCHLOW, NICHOLAS LEA and CHRISTOPHER SHYER.

Seeking revenge against Anna, Erica heads to Hong Kong to carry out a mission to strike a lethal blow. Meanwhile, Anna learns that Tyler's phosphorous level is too low — even after the Red Rain — and he might become useless to her. Plus, Lisa and Diana (recurring guest star JANE BADLER) bond, as they begin to form an alliance against Anna.

Erica, now officially in charge of the global Fifth Column, leads them in a high risk attack against Anna. Anna meanwhile, growing closer in her plan to destroy humanity, finds a major obstacle in a certain Live Aboard candidate. And Ryan sneaks back onto the Mothership to try and rescue his daughter. Recurring guest stars include JANE BADLER as Diana, MARK HILDRETH as Joshua, ONA GRAUER (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief) as Kerry Eltoff, Christopher Shyer as Marcus, Bret Harrison as Dr. Sidney Miller and MARTIN CUMMINS (Kyle XY, Shattered) as Thomas.

Anna is about to pull the switch on the planet's first Blue Energy reactor, but Sid (recurring guest star BRET HARRISON) realizes that the size of the reactor is much too large for just the various Concordia sites; now, the Fifth Column needs to figure out what Anna is really up to. And Diana (recurring guest star JANE BADLER) tells Lisa she must act against Anna now, fulfill her destiny and save humans from annihilation. Recurring guest stars also include ROARK CRITCHLOW as A.D. Paul Kendrick, MARK HILDRETH as Joshua, ONA GRAUER as Kerry Eltoff, CHRISTOPHER SHYER as Marcus and MARTIN CUMMINS as Thomas.

In the shocking season two finale, Anna is focused on having Lisa breed with Tyler to ensure the evolution of the Visitors, while Erica and Diana (recurring guest star JANE BADLER) enlist Lisa to stage a coup against Anna and remove her from power before humanity is destroyed. Erica and the Fifth Column join Lisa in the attempted coup, which has devastating results. Plus, guest star MARC SINGER (who played freedom fighter Mike Donovan in the original V series) appears as Lars Tremont, a member of a top secret organization of high-ranking military and government leaders from around the globe who have long suspected that the Visitors are very much not here in peace. Recurring guest stars include ROARK CRITCHLOW as A.D. Paul Kendrick, JAY KARNES as Chris Bolling, MARK HILDRETH as Joshua, CHRISTOPHER SHYER as Marcus and MARTIN CUMMINS as Thomas.
