Well, there we have it – the final episode of Invincible season 2 has now been released on Prime Video, bringing some elements of the story to a shocking climax and setting up plenty more for the future.

The adult-animation superhero series is based on the comics series by Robert Kirkman which ran for 15 years, meaning it’s fair to say there are still a lot more stories for the show to dive into.

But has the series been renewed for a third season yet, when would those new episodes arrive and who could be in the voice cast?

Read on for everything you need to know about Invincible season 3.

Will there be a third season of Invincible?

There will! In fact, Invincible season 3 was commissioned at the exact same time as season 2, all the way back in 2021.

As for the future of the show, season 4 has yet to be fully confirmed by Prime Video, but it certainly seems as though the creative team are all in it for the long haul – and given the show’s success, we would expect to hear news on that front in the coming months.

When will Invincible season 3 be released?

We don’t yet know when Invincible season 2 will be coming to Prime Video, but thankfully it does seem that we’ll have a shorter wait on our hands than we had between seasons 1 and 2.

That break lasted for over two years, but Steven Yeun has told Collider that work has already started on season 3, and that the team are hoping to get it to fans sooner rather than later.

He said: “For us, we know that this big break was not fun. We’ve been working hard to get a lot of backlog done. We wanna time this animation thing appropriately. So, yeah, we’ve been working. We’re banking episodes, we know what’s going on.”

Meanwhile, comics creator Robert Kirkman told Variety that “the goal” is to make new seasons of the show available to release each year.

He added: “The realities of animation may make that a little difficult, but what I can guarantee is that the gap between season 1 and 2 is the longest gap we should ever have, you know, barring some unforeseen catastrophe.

“It may be every 18 months or 16 months or 13 months or every 12 months. We’re still trying to figure that out.”

Given this, we would imagine that season 3 should arrive at some point in 2025, perhaps in the back half of the year.
