Invincible season 4 release date speculation, latest news
Here's everything we know so far!
*Warning – contains spoilers for Invincible season 3 episode 8*
The third season of Invincible has now come to an end, with a blistering, dramatic finale that set up many more stories for season 4 in its post-credits scene.
The season 3 finale showed the brutal end to the Invincible War, resulting in Mark (Steven Yeun) defeating Conquest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and creator Robert Kirkman bringing back a fan favourite character, Damien Darkblood (Clancy Brown), in the post-credits scene.
Thankfully, the show has already been renewed, with season 4 set to continue adapting the comics following the Invincible War and Mark's battle with Conquest – and fans are already looking to the future, excited about the arrival of Thragg, who's due to appear from season 4 onwards.
But what do we know about Invincible season 4 so far? Read on to find out more.
Invincible season 4 release date speculation
A release date for Invincible season 4 has not been confirmed yet, but we'd expect it to be sometime in 2026.
Creator Robert Kirkman has previously expressed his ambition to have a series of Invincible release every year, but that will depend on how long the production process takes.
Speaking to The Direct, he said: "Right now, the focus is making sure that the show comes out as regularly as possible, and we're trying not to have any distractions that are going to keep us from that.
"So right now, the focus has been getting season 3 wrapped up, getting season 4 wrapped up. Hopefully, once those are all tied up, we'll have some time to figure out how to do a little bit more, but we may not. I don't know, we'll see."
Meanwhile, JK Simmons, who voices Omni-Man, previously revealed that he's already begun early work on the season, telling Collider: "Yeah, we actually have dipped our toes – or at least I have – into the next season.
"And I'm looking forward to... I don't know when in the next coming months, but looking forward to getting back in the studio again."
Invincible was renewed for season 4 in July 2024, before season 3 had even premiered.
Invincible season 4 cast news
The cast for Invincible season 4 has not yet been confirmed but, at the moment, we'd expect the following to return:
- Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible
- Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson
- JK Simmons as Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man
- Gillian Jacobs as Eve Wilkins/Atom Eve
- Andrew Rannells as William Clockwell
- Walton Goggins as Cecil Stedman

One big addition we're expecting is the character of Thragg, who's a huge villain in the comic books. We don't yet know who could voice the iconic character, but fans are theorising on social media.
One character we're not expecting back is Rex Splode, voiced by Jason Mantzoukas as he perished in season 3. However, we're not ruling it out completely as, in the world of Invincible, anything is possible.
What could be the plot of Invincible season 4?
We'd season 4 to adapt the Viltrumite War, the final climactic event between the Coalition of Planets and the Viltrum Empire. Invincible season 4 will also pick up after the Invincible War arc and after comic #65.
Previously speaking to RadioTimes.com, Kirkman implied that the events of the Invincible War will be heavily felt in season 4, saying: "When we come back for season 4, we're going to be coming back to a very different world filled with very different characters."
Kirkman also previously opened up to RadioTimes.com about the process of adapting the comic books, saying: "With this show, I envision it is a kind of process of, 'If it's not broken, don't fix it.'
"So, when we sit down with the source material, if we feel like everything is working, we just try to make sure that we uphold what existed in the comics, trying to put a fresh coat of paint on it, trying to expand things where we can expand them, truncate things where you feel like that's necessary.
"But if there's big moments and events that absolutely landed in the comics that I know the fan base is excited to see, you're going to get those moments."
He then went on to clarify that any attempt to alter those moments will be "only to enhance", adding a little bit of extra something to build up a moment so that when an adapted moment from the comics finally lands, "it'll hit you in a different way", whether it's more emotional because you've had more time with certain characters or more intense because of that additional build-up.
The ultimate reassurance that Invincible season 3 is a faithful adaptation to the comics, however, is when Kirkman mentions how he's compared Invincible with his time working on the TV adaptation The Walking Dead, where he learned that big changes from the source material aren't always needed.
"It's really a process of trying to enhance what was in the comics, not to change it for the sake of giving you something different. That's something I learned from working on The Walking Dead", Kirkman said.
"I was very much coming at things coming from a place of, 'They've read this before. Let's give them something different,' and I was pushing to change things as often as possible on that show.
"Here, I'm like, 'You know what? Let's make sure we deliver that moment in a way that the fan base that's experienced the comics, that loves the comics, will love all over again.'"
How many episodes will there be in Invincible season 4?
We'd expect there to be another eight episodes in Invincible season 4.
How many seasons of Invincible will there be in total?
Creator Kirkman recently said there could be up to 10 seasons of Invincible (although only four have so far been confirmed by Prime Video).
He said at a recent panel (via Collider): "We’ve already written a bunch of season 4… The way [writer Simon Racioppa] and I have [it] mapped out… roughly eight seasons. Could be seven. Could be 10."
We'd be surprised if the show continued for a full 10 seasons – but you never know!
Is there a trailer for Invincible season 4?
Not yet! We'll update this page as and when new information is made available.
Invincible season 3 is available to stream in full now on Prime Video – you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial.
