Ranking The 13 Best Alien Invasion Movies Of All-Time
By Joshua Tyler
| Published
Some of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time revolve around humans in a desperate struggle for survival. Sometimes we’re fighting time-traveling robots or out-of-control plagues. Occasionally, we end up in a post-apocalyptic wasteland fighting ourselves.
What really brings humans together, though, is a battle against an outside force. All the better if those invaders are from the stars. This is the definitive ranking of the best alien invasion movies of all time.
13. Lifeforce
The 1985 movie Lifeforce begins with a naked girl in a box, and it ends with a love scene so explosive it destroys a cathedral and sends a race of alien vampires running for their lives. In between those bookends, Lifeforce is one of the wildest, most unique, most incredible science fiction movies almost no one has seen.
A mission to explore Halley’s Comet results in an alien vampire who looks exactly like one of the most beautiful women in the world wandering around our planet without clothes, luring men in, and sucking the life out of them. At one point, she briefly takes the form of Star Trek star Patrick Stewart, and despite now being a bald academic, she’s so alluring that people still want to make out with her, at their peril.
Movies like Species and Under the Skin owe everything to Lifeforce, the original super hot alien babe sucks the life out of the world movie. Those copies are just copies. They can’t hold a candle to Lifeforce.
12. The Avengers
The 2012 culmination of Marvel’s phase 1, The Avengers, is one of the best superhero movies ever made, but it’s also entirely about an alien invasion. Loki shows up, opens a hole in the sky, and invites an alien army to pour directly into midtown Manhattan like it’s a curbside delivery.
The Chitauri scream between skyscrapers, raining down death as civilians run and buildings collapse. The only way to stop them is if Earth’s mightiest heroes come together as a team and fight them off.
The Avengers is the movie that made Marvel into the modern-day juggernaut it is, and it’s built entirely on the backs of Iron Man dogfighting alien attackers, Captain America commanding street-level resistance, and Hulk unleashing the full force of his anger on giant, alien beasts.
11. Little Shop of Horrors
In Little Shop of Horrors, Rick Moranis stars as Seymour Krelborn, a meek florist whose life changes when he discovers a strange plant he names Audrey II. The plant brings fame and fortune to the failing flower shop until Seymour learns it only grows when fed human blood.
Voiced by Levi Stubbs, Audrey II is an alien planet that has come to earth, but not an invader with a master plan to conquer us. Instead, it’s a manipulative alien parasite with ambition.
As the plant grows, so does its appetite and its influence, pushing Seymour to kill in exchange for success, love, and validation, including a chance with Ellen Greene’s Audrey. The real threat isn’t an alien invasion, it’s alien temptation. Audrey II’s only goal is to grow bigger, spread farther, and use human weakness to do it.
10. Signs
M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs is an alien invasion from the perspective of a normal family, and the big global consequences are only in the background. That allows it to be about more than just aliens. It’s about belief, loss, and the terrifying silence of a God who might not be there.
Mel Gibson’s Graham Hess, once a minister, has abandoned his faith after the tragic death of his wife. The alien invasion is the crucible; it drives his family into corners, tests their survival, and eventually forces him to confront whether life is chaos or design. It doesn’t end with humanity defeating aliens, it ends with one man putting his collar back on, embracing faith not because he got proof, but because he chose to trust again.
9. Predator
In Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Dutch, the leader of an elite mercenary team sent into the Central American jungle on what’s supposed to be a routine rescue mission. Alongside him are Carl Weathers as Dillon, Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, Sonny Landham, and Shane Black. Each is introduced like an action-movie archetype before the movie starts tearing those archetypes apart.
One by one, the team is hunted by an unseen alien warrior using cloaking technology, advanced weapons, and brutal tactics. This isn’t a takeover attempt, like most alien invasions.
The Predator is a lone trophy hunter on Earth purely for sport, seeking worthy opponents to kill and collect. As the squad is wiped out, the film strips away guns, gear, and bravado until it becomes a primal duel between Dutch and a creature that respects only strength, cunning, and survival.
8. Superman 2
Shot back-to-back with Superman: The Movie, the sequel, Superman 2, manages to exceed the groundbreaking original. It does that by pitting Superman against a trio of super-powered alien invaders from his own planet of Krypton, resulting in an eye-popping super-powered slugfest with special effects so amazing for the time that some still hold up today.
The heart of Superman 2 is the moral dilemma: godlike power versus human happiness. It treats Superman as a man making painful, adult choices. Superman has already given up his powers, leaving humanity defenseless. Realizing the cost of his choice, he reclaims his abilities, confronts the invaders, and ultimately restores both order and his secret identity.
It’s a great alien-invasion movie and one of the best superhero movies ever made.
7. They Live
They Live centers on Roddy Piper’s Nada, a transient who arrives in Los Angeles looking for work after a string of bad luck. Nada investigates a nearby church, gets caught up in a wild late-night police raid, and walks away with a mysterious pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the world for what it really is, a hotbed of political propaganda built on complacency and conformity so the aliens can quietly take over and throttle Earth’s resources for their own personal gain.
Nada’s glasses reveal not only the aliens but the true messages hidden in the magazines, billboards, and television shows we all watch. They Live is a biting commentary on the way we’re all manipulated by mass media, and in that sense, it may be one of the most important and eye-opening movies ever made.
As the film reaches its climax, it reveals just how far the conspiracy against the masses goes, and at this point, there’s no turning back. It’s up to Nada to figure out how to wake everybody up, even if it costs him his life.
6. Edge of Tomorrow
What if the only way to save humanity from an alien invasion was to kill yourself repeatedly until you found the right answers? That’s the setup for 2014’s Edge of Tomorrow, starring one of potentially thousands of Tom Cruises as he wakes up repeating the same day until he nails the perfect combination of allies and strategic maneuvers to win the war.
Considered one of the best action films of the 2010s, Edge of Tomorrow moves at a breakneck pace because it can afford to. The first-act exposition keeps resetting, expanding slightly each time until our hero learns to survive the nightmare that’s been forced on him. Each loop inches him closer to completing his mission, but at the cost of dying over and over again.
5. Invasion of the Body Snatchers
One of the best remakes hit screens in 1978: Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Even if you’ve never seen the 1956 original or its other remakes, the basics of the plot are easy to swallow: aliens invade Earth by replacing humans with emotionless duplicates. The catch is that the humans must be asleep for the process to work, a simple twist that turns every yawn into dramatic tension.
Donald Sutherland leads the cast of famous sci-fi stars, including Veronica Cartwright, Jeff Goldblum, and Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. Our heroes try to uncover the mystery of the pod people, but that soon takes a backseat to trying to survive another night.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is treated as a very serious story where the stakes are life and death for the entire human race. That’s refreshing compared to modern films winking at the audience every twenty minutes with a tension-deflating joke. The result is one of the most impressive remakes of all time and remains a must-watch for any sci-fi or horror fan today
4. Independence Day
Independence Day is your classic alien invasion story, but with the best CGI that 1996 has to offer. This was years after Jurassic Park, so it’s pretty damn good.
A powerful alien force has appeared over the skies of Earth with the mission to completely annihilate the planet over the Fourth of July weekend. They start by blowing up some of our best buildings in spectacular fashion. A ragtag group of people from Earth works together to stop the destruction of the planet in a last-ditch effort.
Bill Pullman gives one of the best speeches ever as our president, Will Smith gives a performance so fun it turned him into a megastar, and the rest of the cast then totally matches it every second they’re on screen. No alien invasion movie is bigger, crazier, or more fun than this one.
3. War of the Worlds
The world has seen numerous adaptations of HG Wells’ classic alien-invasion novel, both before and after the 1953 release of producer George Pal’s version, yet none have done it better. Especially not that Steven Spielberg version. Sorry, Dakota Fanning.
The movie takes the book that invented alien invasion stories and contemporizes it, setting the War of the Worlds in the 1950s. It also changes the alien ships from Tripod walkers into sleek, floating ships with heat-spitting cobra heads.
The movie’s plan was originally to stick with tripods, but they eventually went with something that was more feasible for the era’s limited practical effects. The change gives this version of the story a uniquely iconic look all its own, and the movie remains as effectively tense and suspenseful now as it ever was.
War of the Worlds holds up in a way few other movies this old do. The cinematography is still beautiful, the aliens are still scary, and the story is still haunting. It’s also a perfect window into 1950s America, complete with the innocence of weekly square dances and the hard-edged determination of soldiers who’d just survived a world war and now found themselves in another one.
2. The Thing
1982’s The Thing is the gold standard of graphic sci-fi horror, an alien-invasion film where every grotesque transformation feels like a practical-effects masterclass in nightmare fuel.
Unlike some of the bigger, more bombastic entries on this list, The Thing takes place in a more intimate setting. With people trapped in a remote outpost, and a creature from another world loose on the inside, mimicking and killing them.
John Carpenter doesn’t settle for simple jump scares; he unleashes a parasite that rips through flesh, bursts out of chests, and reshapes bodies into twisted parodies of life. Dogs split open into writhing masses of tentacles, heads sprout legs and scuttle across the floor, and human bodies melt and fuse in ways that are as mesmerizing as they are revolting.
What makes it unforgettable is the sheer creativity of the terror, shot with brutal clarity. The Antarctic isolation only magnifies the terror, making every reveal hit harder. The Thing is a relentless catalog of the most inventive, character drama, and alien imagery sci-fi has ever dared to put on screen.
1. Arrival
In Arrival, mysterious ships invade Earth’s airspace, land, and then just sort of sit there. It’s an invasion, but one without any violence, and humans are left trying to figure out what’s going on. What’s going on will change everything about the way humanity views the universe, and also maybe the way the movie’s viewers do, too.
Amy Adams plays Louise Banks, an expert linguist who has tragically lost her daughter to an illness. She’s teamed with Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner, and the two are tasked with figuring out why the ships are there and finding some way to communicate with the beings inside.
Amy Adams is brilliant in the role, and we learn about these aliens and their language right along with her. We go through the pain of losing her daughter and find, along with her, the solace in understanding someone else for the first time. The alien’s invasion becomes a deep exploration of how our communication shapes our thinking.
It’s one of the best movies of the past ten years, a totally unique take on what might happen if visitors from space show up on our doorstep. Though it contains no battle sequences or threats of annihilation, it’s the best alien invasion movie of all time.

If anyone knows a thing or two about dressing up, it’s Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales has been attending royal engagements for close to two decades, and even her more casual outfits are chic and put together. Of course, with so many events on the calendar, the 44-year-old has learned a handful of valuable fashion tricks — including opting for footwear that looks fancy, but is secretly so comfortable.
On more than one occasion, Middleton has stepped out wearing Aldo’s Nicholes Pumps — a $54, budget-friendly style that, shockingly, is still available on Amazon. The pointed-toe beauties are a tad different from the stilettos that stars usually gravitate toward, featuring a thick, sturdy block heel for extra support, easing strain on your feet. Complete with a cushioned insole, these shoes are the ideal choice for days when you plan to stand or walk for hours — a likely selling point for Middleton, who is always on her feet.
Get the Aldo Nicholes Pumps for $54 (was $58) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
Still, despite their practical design, the Nicholes Pumps are extremely chic. They provide plenty of height (approximately 4.25 inches!) and, compared to rounder alternatives, help elongate the legs. Middleton has repeatedly broken them out for Wimbledon matches, pairing her own beige pick with breezy dresses. The black pair is equally versatile and classic, and will no doubt complement everything from wedding guest gowns to jeans and office trousers.
Kate Middleton just made it official: loafers are the it shoe of spring 2026 — and honestly, we’re not surprised. They’re polished, practical and impossibly elegant, which makes them the perfect royal-approved swap for heels. Even better? We found a near-identical pair on Amazon for just $50. On Feb. 12, the Princess of Wales stepped […]
Plenty of Amazon shoppers have also fallen in love with Aldo’s elegant heels, swearing they live up to royal standards.
“I needed a new pair of black heels, and these are definitely my new favorite!” one customer wrote. “I love the big heel, it makes it more comfortable to walk in. I wore these all night at a wedding recently, and my feet did not hurt at all the next day. I definitely recommend these!”
“I originally bought these in 2020, and I’ve been wearing them almost every Sunday, and they are still holding up,” another shopper revealed. “These are so comfortable, and I am able to wear them for hours. I am a size 8.5, but because I have wide feet, I bought a 9. I just purchased my second pair as a backup because I literally love these so much. I definitely recommend you guys to buy these, especially if you like 4-inch heels!”
It makes sense that Middleton would opt for stylish sleek shoes that are classic, comfy and stand the test of time. The fashion icon is known for re-wearing her favorite pieces, sometimes years later, so it’s highly likely these pumps will make an appearance again. Until then, we’re grabbing a pair for ourselves and giving our wardrobe a dose of timeless royal style. And, since these babies are just $54, we suggest you do the same!

Kate Middleton has perfected the art of timeless dressing. Rather than leaning into fleeting trends, she repeatedly chooses enduring staples, just like this Chelsea boot style she recently stepped out in. It’s exactly why her outfits continue to resonate year after year, including right now in 2026. The Princess of Wales was spotted at the […]

What to know about Joseph Duggar's wife and four children amid his child molestation charges
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/duggar-1-0319a202f24049408b2232fe2c8ff11a.jpg)
The “19 Kids and Counting” star was arrested in March 2026 on child molestation charges.
Actress Nicola Peltz is offering a glimpse into her husband Brooklyn Beckham‘s bond with her family. The latter has an ongoing rift with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, and has seemingly found comfort and support in his wife’s parents and siblings.
Nicola Peltz’s Parents Treat Her Husband As Their Own
In an interview with ELLE Spain published on March 20, Peltz shared how her husband, Beckham, fits into the Peltz’s lives. The actress said her parents, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, treat Beckham like “another son.”
Peltz, who has six brothers, added that Bekcham also had a good relationship with his brothers. “He gets along really well with my brothers. They play soccer together a lot,” she shared.
In February, as reported by The Blast, Peltz’s father, Nelson, was asked about the ongoing tensions between Beckham and his parents. He said he advised the couple to “stay the hell out of the press” but didn’t elaborate further, saying instead, “I’ll tell you my daughter’s great, my son-in-law Brooklyn, is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.”
Nicola Peltz Met Brooklyn At A Party
Peltz said that she and Beckham crossed paths before, but never got to talking until years later at a Halloween party. According to the actress, Beckham was “staring” at her when she arrived, and they got to know each other.
Beckham was in Los Angeles at that time for 10 days, and as Peltz shared, she didn’t typically stay out late at night, preferring to sleep early. At that time, however, she ignored her habit and instead spent time with Beckham. “We were together until 10 in the morning, driving around the city, exploring… We made excuses not to be apart.”
Peltz told her mother about staying out late, and she told her, “If you’ve stayed up this late, he’s the one.”
Nicola Peltz And Brooklyn Beckham’s Wedding
Peltz and Beckham began dating in 2019. Eight months into their relationship, Beckham proposed, announcing their engagement on Instagram, writing, “I am the luckiest man in the world. I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day.”
The couple got married in a star-studded ceremony in 2022. The wedding was at the Peltz’s family estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and they celebrated with almost 600 guests, as reported by PEOPLE. Some of the stars who attended include Marc Anthony, Eva Longoria, Serena and Venus Williams, and Gordon Ramsay.
At that time, there were already rumors circulating about Peltz and her mother-in-law not getting along, but the actress said it may have stemmed from her wearing a Valentino gown instead of one created by Victoria. She clarified the situation, saying that she wanted to wear a Victoria Beckham creation, but the atelier didn’t have the time to make one, so she picked the Valentino.
Brooklyn Beckham Accused His Parents Of Disrespecting His Wife
In January, Beckham released a statement on Instagram Stories. He accused his family of “consistently disrespecting” Peltz, writing that the night before their wedding, the Beckhams told him that Peltz “was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family’.”
Moreover, Beckham claimed Victoria “hijacked” his first dance with Peltz. “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.” He added that Victoria danced “very inappropriately.”
In regard to the wedding dress, Brooklyn said that her mother had cancelled making Peltz’s dress “in the eleventh hour,” which forced her to find a new one to wear. “I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he noted.
Brooklyn Beckham Remains Estranged From His Family
Beckham has avoided his family since his scathing statement, choosing to ignore them when they extended an olive branch. On his birthday in early March, both Victoria and David greeted him on social media, posting photos of themselves together with their son during happier times and telling him they love him.
Peltz also posted on Instagram for Beckham’s birthday, sharing how he surprised her husband with donuts and balloons. While Beckham responded to his wife’s post, he chose to ignore his parents’ birthday greetings.
On March 15, UK’s Mother’s Day, Beckham posted a photo on Instagram Stories, greeting his mother-in-law, who celebrated her birthday on March 12. “Happy birthday to the best mother in law x,” he wrote. Meanwhile, he didn’t give a shout-out to Victoria.

4 Years Later, Cillian Murphy’s Netflix Comeback Shatters Expectations With Blockbuster ‘Peaky Blinders’ Movie Debut
After winning the Best Actor Academy Award for his performance in Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer a couple of years ago, Cillian Murphy has had a rather interesting string of releases. Only one out of his three post-Oscar films, Small Things Like These, was able to secure a theatrical release. But it came and went without making much impact. Two others were released directly on Netflix. While the first, Steve, didn’t exactly set the charts on fire, Murphy’s second Netflix movie in a row seems to be having no problem with attracting audiences. It was a sure thing after all, even if it didn’t immediately scream post-Oscar passion project. The movie earned positive reviews, and was given a limited theatrical run in the United Kingdom a few weeks before its Netflix debut on March 20.
A report suggested that Netflix could have made as much as $50 million in the U.K. alone by giving the film a proper theatrical run, as opposed to the token release that it ultimately received. In its first weekend in British theaters, the movie outgrossed Scream 7 and The Bride!, which were playing in a significantly higher number of venues. The crime drama serves as a follow-up to one of Netflix’s most popular shows, Peaky Blinders, which aired six seasons from 2013 to 2022 and has since established itself as a fan-favorite. The show charted the trials and tribulations of an outlaw family in early 20th-century England. A follow-up series is currently in the works as well.
Lights, Camera, Retraction — The Collider Movie Quiz!
Sometimes actors quit; other times they’re fired. On this first day of spring, we’re recalling some famous roles that got a fresh start with a recast.
‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ Unseated Alan Ritchson’s Hit
The movie in question, of course, is Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. It also features Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, and Barry Keoghan, alongside returning players from the series. It’s directed by Tom Harper, who previously worked with Netflix on the would-be franchise-starter Heart of Stone, starring Gal Gadot. The Immortal Man holds a “Certified Fresh” 92% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “Capping off Tommy Shelby’s story with grit and swagger, The Immortal Man is a satisfying conclusion to Peaky Blinders that also stands tall on its own self-contained terms.” Unsurprisingly, it was the number one movie across Netflix on its opening day, both domestically and worldwide. According to FlixPatrol, The Immortal Man unseated holdover champion War Machine, starring Alan Ritchson, from the streamer’s number one spot. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Sarah Michelle Gellar breaks silence on Nicholas Brendon's death with heart-wrenching “Buffy ”quote

“I saw you Nicky.”
Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon is dead at age 54.
“We are heartbroken to share the passing of our brother and son, Nicholas Brendon,” the actor’s family told Us Weekly in a Friday, March 20, statement, noting that Brendon died in his sleep of “natural causes.” (The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report the news.)
“Most people know Nicky for his work as an actor and for the characters he brought to life over the years. In recent years, Nicky has found his passion in painting and art,” the statement continued. “Nicky loved to share his enthusiastic talent with his family, friends and fans. He was passionate, sensitive, and endlessly driven to create. Those who truly knew him understood that his art was one of the purest reflections of who he was.”
Brendon’s family shared that while it is “no secret” he “had struggles in the past,” he was “on medications and treatment to manage his diagnosis and he was optimistic about the future at the time of his passing.”
Hollywood mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2026. The year started off with Broadway performer and influencer Bret Hanna-Shuford’s death at age 46. At the end of the month, comedy acting icon Catherine O’Hara died at age 71. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed. Subscribe to newsletters Enter your email […]
“Our family asks for privacy during this time as we grieve his loss and celebrate the life of a man who lived with intensity, imagination, and heart,” the statement concluded. “Thank you to everyone who has shown love and support.”
Brendon was best known for his role as Xander Harris on Buffy, which he starred on for seven seasons alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Anthony Head and more. He also appeared in other various TV and film projects up until 2021.
In 2023, Brendon revealed he had suffered a heart attack and had been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, as well as cauda equina syndrome. He had undergone several spinal surgeries prior to his death.

Where is the “Duck Dynasty” cast now? See the Robertson family nearly 15 years after the show's premiere
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/duck-dynasty-cast-031326-e73e458e73c943d899ac140516074e73.jpg)
Find out what they’ve been up to between the original series finale in 2017 and the revival.
Christina Applegate is opening up about her thoughts on death and how it has shaped her outlook in life. The actress, who was diagnosed with MS in 2021, has already made arrangements when the time comes, and shared that she has already secured three burial plots as she continues to navigate personal challenges and reflects on what matters most.
Christina Applegate Thinks About Death Daily
On March 19, the 54-year-old actress was on NPR’s “Wild Card with Rachel Martin” podcast, wherein she talked about living with multiple sclerosis. When asked how often she thinks about death, Applegate answered, “Every day.”
“‘Cause it’s looming. I mean, it looms for all of us,” she continued. Applegate says that even though death will come for all of us, it might be different for someone like her, who is living with a condition that currently has no cure. “For people who have a disease like this, you never know, you know?” she said.
According to the Mayo Clinic, MS is an autoimmune disease wherein the protective covering of the nerves is attacked. It may cause weakness, numbness, lack of coordination, and even cognitive issues.
The Actress Has Purchased Three Burial Plots
With the possibility of death always on her mind, Applegate said that she has already bought three burial plots for her family. She didn’t specify where the location is, but said it was a “pretty” place, and she jumped at the chance to purchase the plots when she found out they were available.
Applegate candidly talked about the place, saying that she needed to choose a type of tree that would be planted there. “They’re going to plant a tree there ’cause it’s really sunny. And I want my visitors to not, you know, be sweating,” she told the host.
As for why she decided to purchase the plots, she said that it’s one less thing her family has to deal with in the future.
Christina Applegate Shares One Of Her Fears
Despite death being on her mind daily, Applegate said that she’s not “comfortable” thinking about it. The thought of leaving her child behind is devastating, and that makes her “scared” of death.
“I’m really afraid of it because of her,” referring to her 15-year-old daughter Sadie, whom she shares with husband Martyn LeNoble. The actress became emotional as she said, “I can’t even talk about, like, I don’t know what her life’s going to be like, and you don’t know when it’s going to be – could be, like, anytime.”
In February, as The Blast previously reported, the actress shared an update about her health and said she mostly spent her days in bed. However, she still makes the effort to bring her daughter to school because that’s the only time they can be alone by themselves. Applegate described it as her “favorite thing to do.”

Applegate shared her multiple sclerosis diagnosis with the public in August 2021, writing on X that she had been diagnosed with MS a few months prior. “It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a-shole blocks it,” she wrote.
Following her revelation, Applegate attended events walking with the help of a cane. She was one of the presenters at the 2024 Emmy Awards, wherein she poked fun at herself by telling the audience who gave her a standing ovation, “Oh my God, you’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up.”
Applegate started a podcast called “MeSsy” with fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who is also living with MS. In one of the episodes, the actress detailed her struggles with the disease, sharing that at one point, she was screaming in bed because of pain.
Christina Applegate Stepped Away From Acting
Applegate was in the middle of filming the third season of the Netflix series “Dead to Me” when she was diagnosed with MS. Production was paused so she could seek treatment, and she eventually returned to finish shooting. However, season 3, which premiered in 2022, was the show’s last.
Afterward, Applegate took a step back from her acting career due to MS. In a Vanity Fair interview in 2023, she acknowledged that “Dead to Me” may have been her final acting work because of the nature of her disease. “This is a progressive disease. I don’t know if I’m going to get worse,” she stated.
Despite stepping away from on-screen roles, Applegate has worked on other projects, including voice-over work, podcasting, and writing. Her No. 1 New York Times bestselling memoir, “You With the Sad Eyes,” was released on March 3.
