Invincible season 2 release schedule: When is episode 8 out?
It's time for another dose of Invincible.
It's may feel like it's only just returned, but already we have arrived at the end of Invincible's second season.
This second half of the season has been released weekly on Prime Video, with just the eighth episode yet to arrive next week.
The highly-anticipated seventh episode has now been released, setting the stage for one almighty season finale, which is sure to set up the already announced season 3.
The new episodes have already provided some shocking developments, but there's still plenty more to unpack in the coming final episode.
For instance, there's likely to be more revealed surrounding Omni-Man, voiced by JK Simmons, as producer Simon Racioppa has teased a potential redemptive arc for the Viltrumite.
Speaking in an interview with The Direct, he said of Omni-Man: "He's starting to realise that maybe what he did there was not great; it was kind of wrong, and it's starting to drag on his psyche.
"And I think we just want to show you that we will explore that. And show you that maybe, you know, is there a way back? I mean, that's a question I think all of our audience can ask themselves as they watch it."
But when will the eighth episode of season 2 be released? Here's everything we know so far about when to expect the final episode of Invincible.
Invincible season 2 volume 2 release date: When is episode 8 out?
Invincible season 2 episode 8, the final episode in the season, will be released on Thursday 4th April.
You can watch a teaser trailer for part 2 below, which gave fans a glimpse into what to expect in season 2 volume 2.
Fans weren't too happy about the months-long wait between the two halves of the season.
Speaking at San Diego Comic Con 2023, Robert Kirkman, creator of the original comic, explained the reasoning behind the decision to split season 2 into two halves: "With everything going on in that time of year with, you know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and a lot of family time, I think a lot of shows get lost in the shuffle there.
"So I think it's good to take a pause, and narratively it's going to make things hit a little bit harder. People will know what I'm talking about when the season launches."
While Invincible’s track record with breaks between new seasons and episodes isn’t amazing, Kirkman said there won’t ever be a gap between seasons as large as the one between seasons 1 and 2.
Plus, he's revealed that he's already working on season 3, with actor Steven Yeun even suggesting production is already underway.
He told Collider: "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."
Sounds promising!
