Invincible is an adult animated superhero television series created by Robert Kirkman for the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name he co-created with Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. It is produced by Skybound Entertainment, Wind Sun Sky Entertainment, Point Grey Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios. The series follows teenager Mark Grayson and his transformation into a superhero under the guidance of his father, Nolan Grayson / Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. During his transformation, Mark finds himself struggling between his personal life and superhero duties, and is forced to prove that he can be the hero that his father is. Steven Yeun stars in the series as Mark Grayson / Invincible alongside Sandra Oh and J. K. Simmons as Mark's mother and father, respectively, while the remaining cast members have recurring roles.
Invincible premiered on March 25, 2021. Its first season, consisting of eight episodes, concluded on April 29, 2021. Following the season one finale, Amazon renewed the series for a second and third season. A prequel special, Invincible: Atom Eve, was released in July 2023. The second season, also consisting of eight episodes, was divided into two parts, with the first part released from November 3 to 24, 2023, and the second part released from March 14 to April 4, 2024. Three months after the second season finale, Invincible was renewed for a fourth season. The series has received acclaim from critics, with praise for its animation, action sequences, story, voice performances (particularly Yeun and Simmons), and emotional weight.
