Invincible season 3: Release date, cast, trailer and latest news

We now know that season 3 will feature a time jump and kick off with Mark as a 19-year-old, according to SFX magazine, meaning the superhero will have had some time to develop between events when the show returns.

Co-showrunner Simon Racioppa also told the magazine that Mark will "not be the same person that he was in season 2", explaining (via The Direct): "Mark's going to face different challenges, so he's not going to be the same person that he was in season two.

He continued: "And at the end of season three, I can promise you, he's not the same person he was at the start of season 3."

As well as the upcoming third season, Prime Video has also confirmed that fans have a fourth season to look forward to.

Oh, and there's the little matter of the Invincible comic books coming back just weeks after season 3 returns. Happy days!

But for now, when is the third season set to be released? Here's everything we know about Invincible season 3 so far!

Invincible season 3 release date

Invincible season 3 will begin on 6th February 2025 on Prime Video.

Three episodes will drop at once, with the remaining episodes airing weekly on the streamer on Thursdays.

And, since it doesn't hurt to repeat when it's something as good as this, crucially, there'll be no mid-season break.

Kirkman previously said of the season 2 break: "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."

Thankfully for fans, the future of the show is pretty secure too, as season 3 was confirmed at the same time as season 2. Plus, season 4 has also been confirmed – so it's not a case of if we'll be getting more seasons, just when.

What time is Invincible season 3 coming out on Prime Video?

The first three episodes will drop at 12am PT. Here are the corresponding timings for various time zones:

• 3am ET
• 2am CT
• 8am GMT

Meanwhile, Convery will voice Mark's younger brother Oliver Grayson, and Liue will voice Multi-Paul, an assassin for Mr Liu's criminal organisation.

Banks and Bradley's roles are yet to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, it's also been confirmed that Titan (Mahershala Ali) and Battle Beast (Michael Dorn) will return in season 3. Kirkman announced the news on The Invincible Podcast.

Co-host Ryan Sidoti asked whether there’d be any unexpected comebacks in season 3, to which Kirkman replied: "There are two big ones just off the top of my head."

"I can guess who they are," co-host TJ DeWeen added, to which Kirkman responded: "Guess and I'll tell you if you're right or not."

"Battle Beast," DeWeen said, as Sidoti added a "Titan" suggestion, too. "That is correct," Kirkman confirmed.

In addition, there has been a huge amount of speculation over Josh Keaton's role in season 2, with many wondering if Spider-Man would finally come to the Invincible universe.

While that didn't quite end up happening, we did meet Agent Spider. Whether Keaton will be back for season 3 remains to be seen.

What could the plot of Invincible season 3 be?

Plot details are yet to be confirmed, but as detailed above, season 3 will begin with a time jump, according to reports, picking up with Mark as a 19-year-old, meaning he'll have had some time to grow and develop in-between seasons.

And it sounds like the stakes are about to be upped, if creator Kirkman and co-showrunner Simon Racioppa’s past comments are anything to go by.

"I could not be more excited for season 3," Kirkman revealed on the bonus Inside Episode 8 segment from Invincible season 2 on Prime Video. "I’m all about season 3."

Kirkman added: "I think that there’s so many pieces that have been put in place in season 2 that we’re going to build on in season 3, and so many different ways that we’re going to expand the show and push the show even further."

Co-showrunner Racioppa said: "You’ve got some new cast members, new stories. We go [to] some crazy places. But we pick up everything that we left hanging in season 2. All the emotional stories that you liked in season 1 and season 2 are continuing."

Teasing the scope of the third season, Kirkman added: "We want every [season 3] episode to feel like it’s a finale. Season 3 is an absolutely huge season with so many crazy things that you won’t expect.

"And where we leave things at the end of season 3… Oh my god, I cannot wait for people to see that stuff."

The creators have also chatted about ongoing storylines, with producer Simon Racioppa suggesting that Omni-Man (JK Simmons) is not actually beyond redemption.

Speaking in an interview with The Direct, Racioppa revealed: "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."

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Prime Video also released a look at Mark's new suit for season 3, promising a switch from his trademark yellow outfit to a fancy blue one.

What this means for the character is yet to be seen, but a physical makeover usually accompanies a mental one. Exciting stuff!
