The Skyline movies in order

Skyline (2010)

The first entry in the Skyline movie series arrived in cinemas in 2010. In this film, husband and wife Jarrod and Elaine take a trip to Southern California to visit a friend when an alien invasion occurs.

Beyond Skyline (2014)

Skylines (2020)

The third instalment in the Skyline movie series debuted in 2020 with the title Skylines (aka Skylin3s). In this film, a virus turns alien-human hybrids against their fellow allied forces.

Keen to find a cure, Captain Rose Corley ventures to the alien home world. But can she outsmart the enemy?

Skyline: Warpath (2025)

Picking up the story five years after the events of Beyond Skyline, this fourth film, Skyline: Warpath centres its story around corruption and the alien invaders.
