Episode Description from the Publisher

A modern reinvention of fear, faith, and the price of peace In this episode of Rewind, Tony revisits ABC’s reboot of V — the ambitious, effects‑driven reimagining of Kenneth Johnson’s iconic 1983 miniseries. The modern series once again chronicles the arrival of an alien species who promise peace, healing, and technological miracles… while secretly plotting humanity’s downfall. Through conversations with stars Elizabeth Mitchell and Morena Baccarin, along with executive producers Scott Rosenbaum and Steve Pearlman, this episode explores how the creative team rebuilt V for a new era of political anxiety, media manipulation, and global distrust. The cast — including Morris Chestnut and Charles Mesure — brought emotional depth to a story where every alliance is fragile and every promise from the Visitors hides a darker truth.
