What This Means For Invincible Season 4
A Shorter Hiatus Between Seasons Continues As The Stakes Escalate
While there was a more than two-year hiatus betweenInvincibleseasons 1 and 2, creator Robert Kirkman previously shared that there would be a shorter gap between future seasons. Season 3 delivered on this promise, as it premiered about a year after the season 2 finale. A 2026 release window means thatInvincibleseason 4is poised to continue a shorter hiatus between seasons, and itshould only be about a year until the next batch of episodes begin to be released.
All 3 Invincible Seasons, Ranked Worst To Best
The fantastic installment of Invincible season 3 has wrapped up, and the burning question is how it ranks in comparison to its two predecessors.
As for the story itself, the stakes are significantly raised with Thragg, the leader of the Viltrum Empire, being in the next season. The Viltrum Empire’s threat to Earth has been gradually increasing, and it significantly escalated with Conquest’s arrival in season 3.That threat will be further escalated with the introduction of Thragg in season 4, who is even more formidable than Conquest and otherstrongInvinciblecharacters. The mention of the Darkblood storyline also confirms that there will be a payoff to the mid-credits tease as the show heads into uncharted territory.
Our Take On Invincible Season 4’s Update
The Show’s Future Continues To Look Bright
While waiting until 2026 may seem frustrating, it is a substantial improvement over the hiatus between seasons 1 and 2.A one-year hiatus betweenInvincibleseasons is reasonablegiven the high quality of the animated series. After Morgan’s riveting performance as Conquest, I cannot wait to see who joinsInvincible’s star-studded castto play Thragg. Bringing Thragg into the show indicates howInvincibleis continuing to be largely faithful to the comics while also exploring storylines like the one with Darkblood that will be brand new for all audiences.
