We’ve finally got an Invincible Season 3 release date, and thanks to other leaks, we also have a sense of what will go down – here’s what we know.
In 2021, Robert Kirkman’s superhero tome found a new, hungry audience with Invincible. The series has been an extraordinary success, carving its own place next to the MCU, DCU, and Prime Video’s The Boys (one could argue it’s even better than the rest).
Season 2 premiered in late 2023, two-and-a-half years after the first season. Fortunately, it lived up to the hype, but viewers were forced to wait again after just four episodes, with the second season split in half.
Season 2 Part 2’s finale aired earlier this year, but we don’t have quite as long a wait for Invincible Season 3. Don’t worry, it’s not too far away.
Is there an Invincible Season 3 release date?
Invincible Season 3 will premiere on Thursday, February 6, 2025, on Prime Video.
This was leaked in October and quickly confirmed by Amazon, who released a brief teaser of Mark sitting in Burger Mart with Cecil.

Season 3 was green-lit alongside the second season, with the cast doing voice work before Season 2 finished airing (and they completed their scenes in April).
Steven Yeun 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.”
With a February release date confirmed, that’s less than a year between Season 2 and 3. Kirkman is aiming to produce a new season each year, but things may not go entirely to plan.
“That is the goal. 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,” he said.
How many episodes are there in Season 3?
Invincible Season 3 is expected to have eight episodes, just like Seasons 1 and 2.
However, there’s a bonus this time around: there won’t be a mid-season break, so the third season will air from start to finish over eight weeks on Prime Video.
Season 2’s split into two parts was widely criticized; while Part 1 felt like a contained mini-season of TV, the second half failed to build the same momentum and left us too hungry for more. Fortunately, Kirkman and co. seem to have taken that on board.
Invincible Season 3 cast and characters
The Invincible Season 3 cast is expected to include:
- Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible
- J.K. Simmons as Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man
- Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson
- Gillian Jacobs as Atom Eve
- Walton Goggins as Cecil
- Chris Diamantopoulos as Donald
- Seth Rogen as Allen the Alien
- Clancy Brown as General Kregg
- Shantel VanSanten as Anissa
It’s safe to assume the Guardians of the Globe will reprise their roles too, so Jason Mantzoukas as Rex, Grey DeLisle as Shrinking Rae and Monster Girl, Ross Marquand and Zachary Quinto as Rudy/Robot, Khary Payton as Black Samson, Jay Pharaoh as Bulletproof, and Ben Schwartz as Shapesmith.
Marquand will almost certainly return as the Immortal after Season 2’s big twist: Dupli-Kate is alive and well, so expect to hear Malese Jow back in the role.
Racioppa also told Covered Geekly that Oliver, Mark’s baby brother, will have a voice actor in Season 3. “Hopefully, you won’t have to wait too crazy long to hear them, but yes that’s all done! We have a great Oliver! I’m looking forward to sharing them with you,” he said.
Sterling K. Brown’s Angstrom Levy seemed to meet his bloody end in Episode 8 — but if the show stays true to the comics, there’s a chance we could see him again.
As for other characters, two Viltrumites are expected to make their debut: Conquest and Thragg. We won’t go into too many details about who they are, but know this: you should be very afraid of their arrival.

In 2021, Kirkman even teased that he had “the perfect actor” in mind for Conquest, but he didn’t reveal a name. As for Thragg, many fans suspect Jeffrey Dean Morgan is taking on the role after The Walking Dead star shared a photo on Instagram of him reading Compendiums 1 and 2 of Invincible.
Kirkman also said: “I wouldn’t want to spoil anything for future seasons. Jeffrey’s on a very long list of Walking Dead actors that I would love to work with again… it’s just a matter of finding the right role for them, so when the right one emerges for Jeffrey, hopefully you’ll see him in Invincible. But it’s not something I could talk about yet even if I wanted to.”
Two other characters are confirmed to return too: Battle Beast (Michael Dorn) and Titan (Mahershala Ali).
Invincible Season 3 plot
Going off the first teaser for Invincible Season 3, we’ll see Mark training for another fight against Anissa and the Viltrumite Empire – and a major event from the comics.
“We’re taking over your training; weightlifting, cardio, speed, damage resistance, flexibility, battle tactics, reaction, and punctuality,” Cecil tells Mark in the teaser.
If the series sticks to Kirkman’s source material, Season 3 (and beyond) may unleash some of the most devastating, brutal moments in any comic book adaptation.
Firstly, Allen tracked down Omni-Man in the Viltrumite prison. Again, we won’t go into too any specific spoilers from the comics, but some sort of escape (perhaps with the help of an old foe… okay we’ve already said too much!) seems like it’s on the cards.
Mark will also have to wrestle with what Eve (the one from the future) told him after his fight with Levy, and there’s also the small matter of his blue suit, heavily teased by Season 2’s shattering titles and revealed in Amazon’s first poster for the new season.
Simon Racioppa, Invincible’s showrunner, teased: “Half the fun of Season 3 is like, ‘Oh my God, we have to deal with all the stuff that happened in Season 2.’ All the ramifications of that, all of the reverberations of that, all the trauma from that.
“How does that change our characters going forward? So, that’s really fun because we have these new challenges for our characters in Season 3. How do we keep all the previous seasons still relevant and in our minds and in our character’s minds when we go forward? So that’s super fun and exciting.”
Invincible Season 3 leaks
According to leaked designs and character sheets, Invincible Season 3 will include the Invincible War. Not to give away too many details, but you probably get the gist: there are lots of Invincibles from alternate timelines, and Mark has to fight them.
Soon after, another Viltrumite soldier arrives: Conquest, but his orders are a bit different from Anissa’s. While she was meant to check on his progress and try to convince him to join the empire, Conquest is sent to Earth to kill him and take over the planet.
The fight that ensues is horrific, and it’ll make Mark and Omni-Man’s Season 1 brawl look timid (but no more spoilers from us).
Is there an Invincible Season 3 trailer?
Aside from the release date teaser, there’s no full trailer for Invincible Season 3 right now.
We’re less than four months away from the third season, so you should expect to see new footage before the end of the year.
