Peter, who was a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, said Covid-19 had made people want to ‘reset’ their personal lives.
In a recent interview with The Courier Mail, he said this trend helped boost Space Invaders’ popularity among viewers.
‘Covid was such a terrible thing but it was also an opportunity for a global reset,’ he said.

‘People have had an opportunity to reassess what space means to them, not filled with stuff,’ he added.
‘Space has to be something that fills our lives and gives us serenity, peace, calm.’
Nine has yet to announce a premiere date for Space Invaders season two.
