Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Invincible season 2 on Amazon Prime Video, including its potential launch date.<\/b>
\nSpoilers follow for Invincible season 1 and the comics. Invincible season 2 is officially in development. To the delight of the series’ fans (comic and TV show alike), Amazon Studios has been renewed the R-rated animated show for two more seasons, so we’ll be getting more of Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker’s superhero universe soon. We aren’t sure when that’ll be, but it’s pleasing to hear. We enjoyed season 1 a lot and its finale left things open for many more instalments, so we’re glad that more is on the way. If you want to know everything about Invincible season 2, we’re here to help. Here, you’ll find information on its possible launch date, new cast members, what the source material and season 1 finale can tell us about season 2’s plot and more. A word of warning before we begin: we\u2019re about to dive into massive spoilers for Invincible season 1 and the comics. Turn back now or you’ll have both ruined for you. There\u2019s no confirmed release date for Invincible season 2. However, we suspect that Amazon will want to exploit its popularity and get to work on it as soon as possible. Invincible season 2 was announced on April 29, so it\u2019s unlikely that any major work will have begun just yet. Kirkman and the series\u2019 executive team may have had discussions on what plot points to build the next season around (more on this later) but, from animation, art, script and voice actor perspectives we don\u2019t think much will have been done. That said, sometimes animated shows get an early renewal behind-the-scenes because of the long turnaround it takes to make further episodes. It’s plausible, then, that it’s further along than we think, even if we aren’t aware of that possibility. With all that in mind, don\u2019t expect to see Invincible season 2 take flight before the second half of 2022. Unless the creative team crunches on season 2 and gets it out early next year, we would be surprised to see it any earlier. A show like this needs as much care and attention to detail as possible, so that\u2019s what we\u2019re hedging our bets on. Not yet, but that’s because it’s too early. Once one is released, we\u2019ll update this section. No casting confirmations have been made for Invincible season 2, but we\u2019d expect season 1\u2019s main players to return: It\u2019s possible that we may see other voice actors reprise their roles outside of the above cast, too. Zachary Quinto had voiced Robot, but it\u2019s unclear if his voice talents will be needed for future seasons. As we see in season 1, Robot is the artificial host body of Rudy Conners, an individual whose genetic defects mean he\u2019s unable to live outside of his saline tank. With Rudy\u2019s consciousness being transferred into his new clone body in season 1 episode 7, Ross Marquand has taken over vocal duties for Rudy. As such, we don’t know if Quinto is needed to reprise his role in season 2. Robot has a big role to play in the comics, but we’re unsure if those events will be part of season 2, season 3 or beyond. Other voice actors who may return include Chris Diamantopoulos (Doc Seismic), Fred Tatasciore (Kill Cannon), Clancy Brown (Damien Darkblood), Jeffrey Donovan (Machine Head), Ezra Miller (D.A. Sinclair) and Michael Dorn (Battle Beast and Thokk). Kirkman has hinted at some of their returns (more on this below) so it\u2019ll be interesting to see who is back for season 2. As for new cast members, Kirkman revealed that he\u2019d love for some of The Walking Dead TV series\u2019 cast to show up in future seasons. Yeun, Marquand, Laurie Cohan, Michael Cudlitz, Sonequa Martin-Green and Lennie James have appeared in various roles already, but Kirkman wants more Walking Dead actors to lend their talents to the animated show. Speaking to ComicBook.com, Kirkman said: \u00ab\u00a0I can’t think of an actor on The Walking Dead I wouldn’t want to work with again. It’s an amazing group of actors. Andrew Lincoln, Danai Gurira, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey Dean Morgan…there’s not really anyone I wouldn’t want to bring in.\u00a0\u00bb The comic series is a fun but at-times confusing one. There are many directions that season 2 could go in, but we already have an idea of what the next instalment could entail. This is based on the season 1 finale and some hints that the official Invincible Twitter account has already dropped. First, let\u2019s look at Invincible episode 8. Mark, aka Invincible, and the Guardians of the Globe are all that now stands between Viltrum\u2019s invasion of Earth. Omni-Man was supposed to conquer the planet for the Viltrumite Empire but, after realizing that he couldn\u2019t kill Mark and, by proxy, enslave humanity for his people, he tearfully heads out into space for an unknown destination. Season 2 is certain to pick up this plot thread. Mark will be tasked with keeping Earth safe from the Viltrumites and, in turn, help the Coalition of Planets halt their universe-wide expansion. Mark already knows that a Viltrumite fleet is on its way thanks to Allen the Alien\u2019s warning. The latter has a big part to play in the comics from this point on, so if they\u2019re anything to go by, Mark and Allen\u2019s friendship will only grow stronger from here on out. As an extension of that, we should find out where Omni-Man\/Nolan has gone. In the comics, Nolan flies off to invade another planet, which he hopes will act as recompense \u2013 with the Viltrum Empire \u2013 for deserting his posting on Earth. There\u2019s a lot more for the TV series to cover regarding Mark and Nolan\u2019s relationship, which is also covered extensively in the comics. We\u2019ll be here forever if we dive too deep into this father-son bond so, for now, we\u2019ll say we hope to see some of J.K. Simmons\u2019 Nolan next season. The show should be entering cosmic territory in season 2 as well, so expect stranger worlds, weirder characters and a universe-spanning plot to translate from page to screen. The season 1 finale also teased other potential story beats for its successor. We should get a continuation of the Sequids storyline, which didn\u2019t get a proper ending in season 1. Here, we know that a Martian has infiltrated Earth after he traded places with one of the human astronauts. In tandem to that, the astronaut who was left behind on Mars is now being controlled by the Sequids, which could spell bad news for Earth if this parasitic race charts a course for the blue planet. We may see Titan and Battle Beast\u2019s stories fleshed out in more detail, too. The last time we saw the duo, they had taken over Machine Head\u2019s criminal organization and teleported away from Earth respectively. Their tales continue in the comics, and Kirkman has already alluded to fan favorite Battle Beast getting more screen time in Amazon\u2019s adaptation. The Flaxans also look like they’ll return, despite Omni-Man’s rampage across their home planet in episode 2. One interesting tidbit is new story elements that didn\u2019t make it into Invincible\u2019s comic run. In a chat with Beyond the Trailer, Kirkman revealed that he hoped to include storylines in the TV show that he couldn\u2019t fit into the graphic novels when he was writing them. One example that Kirkman gives concerns Damien Darkblood, who was banished back to Hell by Cecil Stedman in episode 4, but it\u2019s unclear if this will form part of season 2. Finally, Kirkman himself has revealed more of where season 2\u2019s plot could go \u2013 and it could include arguably Mark\u2019s biggest nemesis from the comics. We\u2019ll refrain from spoiling that reveal, or much of the graphic novels\u2019 exploration of time travel or alternate dimensions, here. If you\u2019re not fussed about hearing comic and potential season 2 spoilers, though, you can listen to what Kirkman says in the tweet below: We don\u2019t know. In total, there are 144 Invincible comics, which spanned 15 years of Kirkman and Walker\u2019s careers. While the TV adaptation altered the order of certain plot points for season 1, the first eight episodes only covered the first 23 issues. If a similar trajectory is maintained for future seasons, Amazon Prime\u2019s Invincible series would finish up at around the season 7 or 8 mark. According to Kirkman, though, there could be more or less than that. Speaking to ScreenRant after season 1 ended, he said that the series\u2019 creative team has a \u201crough roadmap for where things from the comics will fall\u201d. Additionally, Kirkman told Inverse that he \u201ccould see it going for five\u2026 seven\u2026 even 10 years. Maybe we run out of comic books and\u2026 we do 100 seasons.\u201d Of course, that last number is Kirkman being excited about his own property, but we could certainly see Invincible running for at least five seasons. If audiences want to see more, Amazon would be silly not to continue renewing the animated series. After all, it\u2019s had huge success with its live-action adaptation of The Boys, so Invincible could follow a similar path and make Amazon Prime Video the go-to streamer for R-rated comic book content.<\/p>\n
