“Invincible” comic creator Robert Kirkman appeared at a New York Comic Con 2023 panel on the weekend where he confirmed the Amazon animated series is well into production on a third season.
Speaking just a couple of weeks ahead of the show’s second season premiering on Prime Video on November 3rd, Kirkman says the finishing touches on the second season will be ongoing right up to release.
However, he adds that the third season is far enough along that a whole bunch of casting has already taken place – and will include some cast from “The Walking Dead” series which was also based on his comics.
Here’s his comments to Screen Rant regarding the status of the new seasons:
“Finishing touches on the last few bits of season 2 are being done right now. Season 3 is very far along…
When I talk about the actors that we have for season 2, it is a minefield. There’s so many in season 3 that we have to talk about. If you think the cast expanded for season 2, just wait until you hear about who we’re getting in the show in season 3.
That might give you an indication as to how far we’re going. There’s just so much big stuff planned… It’s possible that there may be some more Walking Dead alums that may be popping into Invincible at some point.”
Based on an Image Comics book, the series follows Steven Yeun’s Mark Grayson – a teenager whose father is the world’s most powerful superhero. On his 17th birthday, Mark begins to develop powers of his own and realizes he needs help to contain his powers, while also reckoning with his Dad’s less-than-perfect legacy.
J.K. Simmons voices his father Omni-Man whilst the voice cast includes Sandra Oh, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Mark Hamill, Walter Goggins, Jason Mantzoukas, Zachary Quinto, Mahershala Ali, Sonequa Martin-Green, Kevin Michael Richardson, Grey Griffin, Khary Payton, Ross Marquand and Chad Coleman.
