Invincible Season 3: Robert Kirkman Offers Major Update on Next Batch of Episodes (Exclusive)

The first season of Invincible on Prime Video was a big enough success that two more seasons were ordered by the streamer. Invincible season 2 will premiere next month on Prime, and the wait for Invincible season 3 will be even shorter than that. Earlier today came word that the third season is already being worked on, but now we have an exclusive update on ComicBook.com caught up with Robert Kirkman at New York Comic Con today and got a full update on him about the progress of Invincible season 3, and it sounds like things are coming along very nicely. 

“I’ve seen animatics of every episode (in season 3),” Kirkman confirmed. “So I’ve seen things moving. I’ve seen the actors all edited together. I’ve seen our amazing directing crew and all the board artists have some form of the show together. And so I’ve seen the entire season in rough form, laid out. I’ve seen all the movements I’ve seen where the season ends up and it’s really cool. Like I say, it, it’s an escalating show. Season one was where it’s at, season two is where it’s at. Season three is a little bit higher. And so it’s tough talking about season three now because no one’s seen season two yet, but it’s really cool being as far along as we are and having the confidence to know, ‘Oh, you like season one? If you like season one, you’re going to love season two and if you really love season two, you’re really, really going to love season three.’ So yeah, we have that kind of like broad view of what we’ve been doing behind the scenes. And so now it’s just a process of wrapping it all up so we can finally share it with the world.”

Simmons). But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers that his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.
