Invincible’s creators kept fans waiting for a second season of the series for almost three years. The wait was even more difficult because of a considerable cliffhanger at the end of season 1. There’s no doubt that viewers were craving more of the violent story that undermines superhero clichés.

Teenager Mark Grayson seems like great superhero material. He is the son of Omni-Man, a powerful alien from the planet Viltrum and a mighty protector of the Earth. Full of enthusiasm, Mark puts on his brand-new costume and starts fighting crime. He even manages to defeat a few villains, but it soon becomes clear that he doesn’t stand a chance against serious opponents.

You will soon find out how things turn out for the teenage superhero, his friends and enemies. Here is everything we know about season 2 of Invincible.

Invincible season 2 release date

Season 2 of the show will be split into two parts.

The first half, consisting of four episodes, is streaming now on Prime Video.

Part two will debut in 2024.

Series creator Robert Kirkman explained the decision to split the season at San Diego Comic-Con:

With everything going on in that time of year with, you know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and a lot of family time, I think a lot of shows get lost in the shuffle there. So I think it’s good to take a pause and narratively, it’s gonna make things hit a little bit harder. People will know what I’m talking about when the season launches.

Invincible season 2 plot

The series’ first season was an excellent introduction to the story for people who hadn’t encountered Robert Kirkman’s comic before. Mark, the son of an Earth woman and the powerful hero Omni-Man, started to discover his powers, but as it turns out, being a superhero wasn’t as easy as he thought. Mark found it difficult to use his powers, got severely beaten, let down those he was supposed to protect and even contributed to terrible carnage.

After a clash with Mark at the end of the previous season, Omni-Man left Earth and travelled to Viltrum, his home planet. After recovering, Mark decided to protect Earth again – presumably, season 2 of the series will focus on him growing as a superhero. We can also expect to see Mark’s relationship with Atom Eve and other Guardians of the Globe. It looks like the superhero squad will be expanding with a new member: a character known as The Shapesmith will apparently want to join the team.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kirkman revealed that:

The overarching story of Invincible that’ll continue from season to season is about the growth and change that Mark goes through as he moves from a teenager into adulthood… and possibly even into old age. So in season 2, we’ll see him maturing and growing up a little bit.

In season 2, we will also see new criminals and more aliens trying to take over Earth. One of the most important villains will be Angstrom Levy, Mark’s nemesis, who can travel between alternate realities. His appearance in the series may introduce the multiverse concept to the story.

In season 2 of Invincible, we can also count on a visit to the planet Viltrum – Omni-Man will have to meet other Viltrumites and tell them about the failure of his earthly mission.
