Invincible Season 2 concluded with a banger and the fans have already taken over the internet to express their excitement for the show’s future. The show that took a mature and bloody take on the superhero genre has been successful in impressing the audience for two entire seasons. But now the creator Robert Kirkman claims that the series will be even crazier in Season 3.
The superhero media had been largely dominated by Marvel and DC before Prime Video entered the genre with their shows like The Boys and Invincible. It delivered an entirely new experience to the fans who were tired of the generic superhero projects. The two seasons of Robert Kirkman’s show have already earned immense appreciation, and it is only expected to rise more in the future.
Robert Kirkman’s statements hint that Invincible Season 3 will be insane
Following a successful first season, Invincible Season 2 presented a unique take on the theme of multiverse with the character of Armstrong Levy. It also explored themes of the psychological effects of being a superhero. Nevertheless, the series is expected to get crazier in the upcoming Season 3.
According to GamesRadar, Robert Kirkman said on the bonus Inside Episode 8 segment from Invincible Season 2 that Season 3 will expand on several elements that are established in the latest season. He added that they are shaping each episode from the third season like a finale. And as if this was not massive enough, Kirkman has planned a shocking ending for the upcoming season.
“We want every [season three] episode to feel like it’s a finale. Season three is an absolutely huge season with so many crazy things that you won’t expect. And where we leave things at the end of season three… Oh my god, I cannot wait for people to see that stuff.”
Another showrunner Simon Racioppa also gave her input and revealed that they are planning to explore more characters and stories in Season 3. However, she made sure that the show would not have loose endings and would “pick up everything that we left hanging in season two”.
It is evident that from the emotions of the characters to the bloodbath and story, everything will be upgraded to the next level for Season 3. Fortunately, we would not have to wait long for the series as it is already in production. ScreenRant reports that the gap between the second and third seasons will not be like the previous ones.

What can we expect from Invincible Season 3?
Invincible has mostly followed the comics except for minor changes. But Robert Kirkman stated to CBR in an exclusive interview that he may make more original episodes for the series. He could not add certain elements to the comics and is hopeful to implement them in future seasons.
“There are a few stories I’ve mentioned in the past that I planned and couldn’t work into the comics. I don’t want to spoil things, but it’s possible there will be episodes in future seasons that are wholly original to the show and written by me. So the potential for that is very exciting for me.”
The ending of Invincible Season 2 provided us with Mark Grayson seemingly killing Armstrong Levy which leads him to a mental dilemma. He starts to believe that he has also become a killing machine like Omni Man. The conclusion also left the Steven Yeun character to fully embrace his superhero personality.
Season 3 will also shed light on Omni Man’s escape from the Viltrumite prison with Allen the Alien and his fight against his own empire. It is expected that our heroes would also have to face the grand war between the Viltrumite Empire and the Coalition of the Planets. With the Viltrum threat looming, the show is also expected to explore more about the Viltrumite history.
Invincible can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
