According to comic co-creator Robert Kirkman, future hiatuses for Prime Video’s Invincible will be significantly shorter.
Invincible, Prime Video‘s unexpected superhero sensation of 2020, is finally returning for a new season. The first details about this new batch of Invincible episodes were announced at the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, including how long we’ll have to wait for upcoming episodes. In an interview with ComicBook.com‘s Brandon Davis, Invincible co-creator Robert Kirkman stated the gap between any future seasons of the program will be far less than the years-long wait viewers have already undergone.
“This is a very complicated show,” Stated Kirkman in the interview, “There’s a lot of work going into it. Making an animated series is kind of like assembling a factory and getting that factory running, and now that we have everything in place, this is going to be the longest gap there will ever be between seasons. From this point on, every gap between seasons will be smaller.”
Why Was Invincible Season 2 Delayed?
Kirkman also stated in a 2021 interview that the years-long behind-the-scenes process of Invincible Season 1 was the reason for any delays, but that the end result would be well worth waiting for.
“The production timeline is somewhat daunting. I think that we spend a number of years developing and working on this season,” comic co-creator Robert Kirkman said in an interview earlier this year. “As we hopefully move into season 2 and beyond, things will tighten. There’s definitely a lot less designing and different things that have to happen to move into our second season. And it’s entirely possible that there’s already work that has been done on the second season. So I think we’re in a good place to be moving forward where this show ends up being successful.”
What Is Invincible About?
Invincible is an adult animated superhero series centered on 17-year-old Mark Grayson, who is just like any other guy his age – except his father is Omni-Man, the world’s most powerful superhero. But as Mark develops his own abilities, he discovers that his father’s heritage may not be as noble as it appears.
Invincible stars Steven Yeun who plays Mark Grayson, J.K. Simmons plays Omni-Man, Sandra Oh plays Debbie Grayson, Zazie Beetz plays Amber Bennett, Grey Griffin plays Shrinking Rae and Monster Girl, Kevin Michael Richardson plays the Mauler Twins, Walton Goggin plays Cecil Stedman, Gillian Jacobs plays Atom Eve, Zach Quinto plays Robot, Jason Mantzoukas plays Rex Sloan/Rex Splode, and Seth Rogen plays Allen the Alien. Chloe Bennet, Rob Delaney, Paul F. Tompkins, Peter Cullen, Tim Robinson, Tatiana Maslany, Sterling K. Brown, Phil Lamarr, Lea Thompson, Jay Pharoah, Calista Flockhart, and nearly too many others will join the cast.
