V was a two-part miniseries event that first aired on NBC on May 1st and May 2nd, 1983. Combined, both episodes make up the first half of the overall V story, which was continued a year later in the three-part V: The Final Battle miniseries.

The miniseries spun-off into a V ongoing television series, which ran for 19 episodes between 1984 and 1985. The program was discontinued due to the per episode production costs. V was created by V creator Kenneth Johnson, but Johnson had very little involvement with the actual development of the show. The series continued subplots that originated in the first two mini-series and introduced new characters while recycling key favorites from the original. The pilot episode of the show begins one year after the events of V: The Final Battle.

In 2009, series creator Kenneth Johnson brought his franchise to life once again as it was re-imagined for modern audiences with a second ongoing V television series. This series only lasted two seasons and was cancelled in 2011.
