Robert Kirkman Plans for ‘Invincible’ to Last for “8 Seasons”

by

As a longtime fan of superhero stories, I can confidently say that the future of “Invincible” on Prime Video is nothing short of invigorating. With Season 3 on the horizon and the promise of at least seven more seasons, it’s clear that Robert Kirkman and his team have no intention of wrapping up this epic tale any time soon.

Having followed the comic series since its inception, I can attest to the richness of the source material and the potential for an engaging adaptation. The fact that we’re not even halfway through the overall series is a testament to Kirkman’s creative vision and the showrunners’ commitment to faithfully adapting the comics.

While it’s always exciting to speculate about the number of seasons ahead, I can’t help but wonder if Kirkman might be a bit greedy with his nine-season goal. But then again, who am I to deny more Invincible? After all, as they say in the world of comics, with great power comes great responsibility… and a potentially endless supply of superhero stories!

On a lighter note, I’ve often joked that fans of “Invincible” should be grateful for the occasional mid-season breaks. After all, if we didn’t have these brief respites, who knows how quickly our hearts might give out from the sheer excitement! But fear not, dear fans, Season 3 will be arriving uninterrupted in February 2025. Now that’s something to look forward to!

The popular series Invincible could potentially span a considerable length on Prime Video. With anticipation building for the third season, slated to premiere in February 2025, fans should be prepared for many more episodes yet to come. As per the show’s creator, Robert Kirkman, we are only halfway through the entire series. The story of Invincible is adapted from Kirkman’s comic book series of the same title, which chronicles Mark Grayson, the offspring of a human, Debbie Grayson, and an extraterrestrial being similar to Superman, Omni-Man. As Mark discovers his own powers, he assumes the role of the superhero “Invincible,” but the challenges of heroism become complex when his very own father poses a grave danger to Earth.

In a conversation with Collider, Kirkman discussed his vision for how long the popular series Invincible might continue. Given its status as one of the top superhero shows currently airing, fans will be pleased to hear that the creators, Kirkman and showrunner Simon Racciopa, anticipate the series could last for at least eight seasons if their current plan holds. However, as in all aspects of television production, this number is subject to change based on various factors. He added:

“Could be seven, could be ten.”

In a subsequent question, Kirkman was probed about providing a more definite number of seasons. Yet, in a playful manner, he humorously suggested “Or nine. I can be greedy.” His comic series titled Invincible spanned over 144 issues from 2003 to 2018. So far, the show has adapted approximately 40 issues across its two seasons, with some deviations from the original material. Using this as a basis, it’s estimated that Invincible could require up to seven seasons to remain true to the comics. However, this estimate does not account for Kirkman’s potential adjustments during adaptation.
