Invincible season 4: Release date and latest news

There was once a time when Invincible fans had to wait years until a new season of the hit adult animated superhero series debuted, but no longer.

Now, the show has got into a consistent rhythm, with the fourth season on its way soon, just a year after season 3 blew fans away with its adaptation of some beloved comic arcs.

News of season 4's release date has arrived alongside a brand-new trailer, which features all the character moments, punch ups and mayhem that you'd expect, while also introducing Lee Pace's new formidable villain.

As fans now count down the days, they can rest assured season 4 won't be the last time they get to see their favourite characters - the series has already been renewed for a fifth season.

As for season 4, read on to find out exactly when the next instalment is set to be released, along with everything we know so far about the cast and plot.

Invincible season 4 release date

The release date for Invincible season 4 was unveiled in January 2026, with the new episodes starting to arrive on Prime Video from Wednesday 18th March 2026.

This means the season will be arriving just over a year after season 3, with the show now seemingly in a steady rhythm after the long gap between seasons 1 and 2.

Creator Robert Kirkman has previously expressed his ambition to have a season 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."

Invincible was officially renewed for a fifth season back in July 2025, before season 4 had even premiered, with the video announcement on Twitter/X confirming that voice recordings had already been completed.

How many episodes will there be in Invincible season 4?

We'd expect there to be another eight episodes in Invincible season 4.

And if Kirkman and the rest of the crew behind the series get their way, there'll be plenty more episodes on their way in future seasons.

How many seasons of Invincible will there be in total?

Creator Kirkman has gone back and forth on this.

In an interview with The Direct, he said he tries "to answer this question differently every time", adding that, while only five seasons have been confirmed so far by Prime Video, he hopes they "get to go for 11 seasons or more."

He later told Collider that roughly "seven, eight, nine seasons would be the sweet spot to be able to complete the 144-issue story that we told in comics form to our satisfaction."

We'd be surprised if the show continued for a full 11 seasons – but you never know!

Invincible season 4 cast

Casting announcements for Invincible season 4 are beginning to trickle in, with the latest update revealing that The Walking Dead and Black Panther star Danai Gurira has joined the already impressive roster.

Gurira will voice antagonist Universa, who travels to Earth to steal energy in order to save her planet. She attacks a nuclear power plant to siphon nuclear energy, wielding her Staff of Leadership in tow, but judging by the first-look images, she comes into conflict with Atom-Eve along the way.

She joins Foundation star Lee Pace, who was confirmed to voice the iconic Thragg - the formidable leader of the Viltrum Empire - back in October 2025. Fans were also treated to their first look at the character, with a menacing image teasing that the ultimate antagonist may be on his way to Earth.

Rounding out season 4’s latest additions to Invicible’s rogues gallery is Dinosaurus - - a dangerous and highly intelligent humanoid dinosaur and the alter ego of scientist David Anders - who will be voiced by The Americans star Matthew Rhys.

What could be the plot of Invincible season 4?

Prime Video has revealed that the upcoming season will return with “higher stakes”, teasing that the three new antagonists will be “unleashing chaos”.

“While the world recovers from catastrophe, a changed Mark fights to protect his home and the people he loves, setting him on a collision course with a threat that could alter the fate of humanity forever.”

The synopsis continues: “With the stakes and threats raised even higher this season, Invincible, Atom Eve (Jacobs), and the Guardians of the Globe must save the world.”

Season 4 is expected to adapt a large portion of the epic Viltrumite War - the final climactic event between the Coalition of Planets and the Viltrum Empire. The season will also pick up following the Invincible War arc and after comic #65.

Kirkman has teased the plot of season 4, telling Deadline: "Thragg is cast and will be in season 4.

"So, I won’t reveal anything other than if you’ve been watching the show since season 1, you might be like, 'Hey, when is there going to be more Viltrumite stuff?' I will say that season 4 has more Viltrumite stuff that you might be wanting.

"In season 2, we got the cool Anissa stuff and then Nolan’s story. In season 3, we got Conquest, and Nolan’s story, and stuff going on in space with Allen.

"In season 4, it really ramps up. So, the people that are loving that aspect of the show, you will definitely get more of that."

Previously speaking to RadioTimes.com, Kirkman also 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.'"
