FX has announced that it will air Falling Skies in the UK.

The drama, which is being executive produced by Steven Spielberg, stars ER's Noah Wyle as a history teacher called Tom Mason.

Tom is forced to lead a group of survivors after the world is shaken by an alien invasion.

FX confirmed on its official Twitter page that the show will be coming to the UK, saying: "Aliens + invasion + Steven Spielberg + Noah Wyle = Falling Skies! Coming this summer on FX!"

Falling Skies is also expected to debut in the US this summer on TNT.
