Prime Video’s Invincible Teasing Announcement Coming Next Month For Season Two
Evidently, December 2022 will be the last month where we WON’T get new news about the still-in-production second season of Prime Video’s excellent animated series, Invincible. This according to the show’s official Twitter account, seconded by a recent interview with Collider and Prime Video’s head of television, Vernon Sanders where the indication is that the second season could drop sometime in 2023.
With that said, if you recall, Invincible season one had a myriad of delays before it ever saw the light of day. In any event, the show is in production for both a second and third season for Prime Video, the service that has been kicking a LOT of ass on the adult animation front as of late with adaptations of Legend of Vox Machina, Sausage Party, and soon, Warhammer all seemingly on the way.
From The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, and based on the Skybound/Image comic of the same name by Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, Invincible is an hour-long, adult animated superhero show that revolves around seventeen-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), who’s just like every other guy his age — except that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers that his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.
Invincible also stars Sandra Oh (Killing Eve), Seth Rogen (This is the End), Gillian Jacobs (Community), Andrew Rannells (Black Monday, Girls), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2), Mark Hamill (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Walton Goggins (Justified), Jason Mantzoukas (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Zachary Quinto (Star Trek), Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Melise (The Flash), Kevin Michael Richardson (The Simpsons), Grey Griffin (Avengers Assemble), Khary Payton (The Walking Dead) and more.
Invincible is produced by Skybound and executive produced by Kirkman, Simon Racioppa, David Alpert (The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead), Catherine Winder (The Angry Birds Movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) with Supervising Director Jeff Allen (Avengers Assemble, Ultimate Spider-Man), and Linda Lamontagne serving as casting director. Invincible, Kirkman’s second-longest comic-book series, concluded in February 2018 after a 15-year run.

Update 1/16: The Twitter handle is now teasing an announcement for January 22 which would time with the anniversary of issue #1 of the Invincible comic series.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
