‘Invincible’ Creator Officially Teases Release Timeline for Next 3 Seasons [Exclusive]
Robert Kirkman has said that Invincible remains on track for near-annual releases, with Season 5 due in 2027 and work already well under way on Season 6. The update matters because it suggests Prime Video’s animated superhero series is avoiding the lengthy break that followed its first season, while moving towards Kirkman’s estimated seven-to-eight-season complete adaptation of the comics.
Kirkman told Collider that Season 5 is in its final production stages, including animation and additional dialogue recording, while Season 6 is already progressing through animatics, script polishing and voice sessions. Season 4 ended with Mark Grayson accepting Grand Regent Thragg’s demand that Viltrumites be allowed to settle and reproduce on Earth, while Allen was tasked with deploying an upgraded Scourge Virus, setting up more difficult choices for the characters.
In short
- Season 5 is expected in 2027.
- Season 6 is already in active production.
- Kirkman still expects seven or eight seasons.
Explained simply
Invincible is an animated superhero series on Prime Video, adapted from an American comic book series. The show follows Mark Grayson, a teenager who discovers he has inherited superhuman powers from his alien father. It has built a substantial audience and become one of Prime Video's flagship animated properties.
After its first season aired in 2021, there was a significant wait before Season 2, which prompted concerns among fans about the show's long-term future. Creator Robert Kirkman has now announced that the series will move towards a more regular release pattern, with new seasons arriving roughly every year rather than with lengthy gaps in between.
Kirkman has estimated the complete story will span seven to eight seasons, so establishing a predictable release schedule suggests Prime Video remains committed to continuing the series regularly until its conclusion. This timing update indicates the show is unlikely to experience the kind of delays that followed its first season.
