We Just Got a Sneak Peak at the Next Season of ‘Invincible

It was hard to miss the title of the Invincible panel at New York Comic Con this year. The panel was called “Probably the Best Invincible Panel in the History of Invincible Panels,” which is saying a lot. Panels at San Diego Comic-Con, for example, have shown new trailers and footage, announced casting, and even revealed that there are full, new Invincible spinoffs on the way. To be “probably the best Invincible panel in the history of Invincible panels” was saying a lot. And it sounds like it delivered.

Co-creator, co-showrunner, and executive producer Robert Kirkman joined stars Steven Yeun, Gillian Jacobs, and others on the Empire Stage in New York Friday night to tease what’s happening in season four, which we now know is coming in March 2026. The Comic Con program mentioned questions like, “Has Invincible recovered from the fight with Conquest? Will things ever be the same with Eve? Will there be more Omni-Man in Season Four? Where is Season Five?” Some of those were at least floated during the panel but also, we got this brand new tease.

Not much in the way of footage, but a few morsels in there, lots of meta Invincible humor. Plus, it was announced that Lee Pace is joining the show in season four as Thragg, leader of the Viltrum Empire.

Season four ended with Invincible and Atom Eve almost completely broken after their showdown with the (almost) impossible-to-beat Viltrumite, Conquest. They triumphed, at great personal cost, and then we were left with multiple places the future of the show could go. Cecil kept Conquest’s body. Battle Beast was rescued in space. And, most interestingly, the character Damien Darkblood was teased. There were lots of places season four could go, and only some of that is teased in the footage.

Invincible will return with season four and has already been given a green light for season five. In addition, there’s a very cool-looking new game on the horizon, Invincible Vs., and you can read our interview with Kirkman about that at this link and watch a new teaser below. How excited are you for the future of Invincible?
