Invincible Renewed for Season 5 (And Gets Major Cast Update)

by

For three seasons now, viewers have enjoyed seeing beloved comic scenes animated on Prime Video’s hit show Invincible. As fans anticipate Season 4 in 2026, exciting news has emerged: not only will there be another season (Season 5), but the series is also expanding its talented cast with a fresh addition. Moreover, it was confirmed that Invincible will continue beyond these new seasons!

In the announcement for season 5, Amazon Prime Video disclosed that Matthew Rhys will be part of the cast for season 4. Rhys has a history with animation, having starred in popular animated shows like Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai and The Owl House. He also voiced Nite Owl in the recent adaptation of Watchmen from DC. However, he is most recognized for his role as Philip Jennings in the critically-acclaimed series The Americans.

In the recent announcement, there’s no specific date for Season 5, but Prime Video highlights the massive success of Invincible so far, making it their most-watched animated season ever. Furthermore, Season 3 has set records as the largest retiring season across all of Prime Video’s original adult animations. The season also garnered critical acclaim, earning Emmy Award and Critics’ Choice Award nominations, as well as a positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the upcoming seasons 4 and possibly 5, Robert Kirkman has hinted at some exciting developments. A significant revelation is that we’ll witness a greater presence of the Viltrumites in Mark’s world. This includes an adversary who will prove to be the most formidable challenge Mark has encountered so far. Kirkman confirmed to Deadline, “Thragg is cast and will appear in Season 4,” without disclosing further details. If you’ve been following the series since season 1, you might have wondered when we’d see more Viltrumite action, and I can assure you that season 4 delivers on this front.

In Seasons 2 and 3, we saw developments for Anissa, Nolan, and some space-related events with Allen. In Season 4, these elements intensify significantly, so fans who enjoy those aspects can expect even more.

As a movie aficionado, I must confess that the stellar ensemble of Invincible leaves me utterly awestruck! Rhys isn’t just the cherry on top; he’s joined by a cast that would make any blockbuster envious.

Take, for instance, Steven Yeun as our titular character, followed closely by Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons, who breathe life into their respective roles as Debbie Grayson and Omni-Man. The likes of Seth Rogen, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Zazie Beetz, Grey DeLisle, Zachary Quinto, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Michael Richardson, Ben Schwartz, Clancy Brown, Jay Pharoah, Mark Hamill, and Melise Jow round out this incredible roster.

This star-studded lineup truly elevates Invincible to new heights, making it a must-watch for any discerning cinephile!

Inspired by the critically-acclaimed comic book series of Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, ‘Invincible’ centers around Mark Grayson, a 17-year-old boy who gains his father’s superpowers. As he strives to become Earth’s mightiest protector, Mark soon realizes that the role is tougher than he ever imagined. His life takes unexpected turns as he grapples with both his past and future, learning just how far he must go to shield those he cares for.
