Robert Kirkman Assures Fans of 'Invincible' No More Extended Gaps Between Seasons

The Big Picture

Fans of Invincible can expect shorter intervals between future seasons, as creator Robert Kirkman plans to streamline production for quicker releases.

After Omni-Man's departure, the second season delves into the aftermath of his shocking revelation and how it affects Mark, his mother, and their relationships. Taking a unique approach, Prime Video, in light of the show's unexpected success, has made the decision to produce the second and third seasons concurrently, aiming to minimize the time between releases.

After a two-year wait, viewers can finally look forward to new episodes of Invincible on Prime Video next month. Creator Robert Kirkman promises that future seasons will be released more promptly, with the aim of minimizing the gap between installments. Kirkman acknowledges that animation production can pose challenges, but assures that the wait between Season 1 and Season 2 will be the longest, with subsequent seasons expected to be released within shorter intervals of time, potentially every 18 months, 16 months, 13 months, or even 12 months. The exact schedule is still being determined.

The first season of the series captivated audiences with its portrayal of Mark's origin story. Mark, a teenager who believed he would never inherit his father's extraordinary abilities, was pleasantly surprised when he discovered his own powers. His father, Omni-Man, who was revered as the greatest superhero on Earth, played a crucial role in Mark's life, always pushing him to strive for greatness. However, Mark soon realized that his father had been hiding a shocking truth.

In the upcoming second season, the story will delve into the aftermath of Omni-Man's departure from Earth. It is revealed that Omni-Man had been secretly preparing the planet to be invaded by the Viltrum Empire. This revelation leaves Mark's mother, Debbie, grappling with the fact that she was unknowingly used by the alien to fulfill his duty. Meanwhile, Mark himself is plagued by the fear of following in his father's footsteps and becoming a ruthless villain. Thankfully, he finds solace and support from his friends, Atom Eve and Amber, as they navigate this challenging situation together.
