“Invincible” is living up to its title, fortifying itself for even more episodes. The animated series has received a Season 5 renewal from Prime Video. The order comes months before Season 4’s debut on the Amazon streamer in 2026.
Additionally, Matthew Rhys has joined the voice cast for Season 4.
In an interview with Variety discussing the Season 3 finale, “Invincible” creator Robert Kirkman teased that Thragg, the main villain of the original “Invincible” comic series by Image Comics, would finally appear on the show in its upcoming fourth season. It’s unclear whether Rhys would be voicing this character or a different newcomer to the series.
“It would certainly be weird if [Thragg] didn’t show up in the show,” Kirkman said at the time. “I mean, I don’t know. It’s so tough. Here’s what I’ll say: He’s been cast and he’s amazing.”
The early Season 5 renewal comes about four months after “Invincible” premiered its Season 3 finale in March. The most recent season ranked as Prime Video’s most-watched animation season of all time, per the streamer’s own data.
Re-upping “Invincible” on an advanced timeline has become somewhat of a tradition for Prime Video. The superhero series, from Skybound Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios, got a Season 4 renewal in July 2024, nearly half a calendar year before Season 3 debuted. Prior to that, the Season 3 renewal came shortly after the first season premiered back in 2021.
Earlier this week, “Invincible” scored its second Emmy nod ever, with lead voice actor Steven Yeun landing his first nomination for the series in the outstanding character voice-over performance category. Along with Yeun, the voice cast also includes Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons.
