Heads up, “Invincible” fans! Simon Racioppa, the mastermind behind Amazon Studios’ adrenaline-pumping animated series, has just spilled some tea on Season 3, and it’s looking like good news.
We’ve all been on the edge of our seats since Seasons 2 and 3 got the green light simultaneously, wondering when we’d get our next fix of animated Viltrumite action. Given the lengthy pause between the first and second seasons—almost three years— it’s no surprise that fans have been a tad anxious about another long wait. Not to mention, Season 2 threw us a curveball with a mid-season break, adding even more to the suspense.
But in a candid chat with Russ Milheim from The Direct, Racioppa has come through with a glimmer of hope regarding the timing for Season 3. Diving into the thick of production, he assured us that the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 won’t stretch as long as the last hiatus. Here’s the scoop directly from the showrunner’s mouth:
“Amazon picked up two and three together. So, we are deep in Season 3 at this point. So I can’t tell you exactly [when], but I can tell you it will not be the same wait between [seasons] 1 and 2… We’re well in progress on Season 3, and it’s coming along great.”
What’s cooking for Season 3, one might ask. According to Racioppa, it’s all about dealing with the fallout from Season 2’s whirlwind and watching our favorite characters navigate a fresh set of hurdles. The aftermath and all its twists and turns promise to keep things spicy:
“Half the fun of Season 3 is like, ‘Oh my God, we have to deal with all the stuff that happened in Season 2 and all that ramifications of that, all of the reverberations of that, all the trauma from that’ And how does that change our characters going forward? So that’s really fun because we have these new challenges for our characters in Season 3… So it’s like, how do we keep all the previous seasons still relevant and in our minds, and in our character’s minds when we go forward? So that’s super fun and exciting.”
Racioppa further highlighted their ambition to keep evolving the characters and the world of “Invincible”, such as Mark, Nolan, and Atom Eve, while still delivering the high-octane superhero drama fans love:
“We want our characters to keep on evolving, we want our world to keep on evolving, we want things to change, but still feel real. That stuff is, you know, it’s great. Like, we have a great writers room. We all sit down, we all go through all that stuff. We talk about how that would change our characters and how they would feel differently. And then, of course, we still want to make it a big, exciting superhero show. So it’s like blending all that stuff together as hopefully what gets us a really great season.”
There’s a buzz about Amazon Studios possibly lighting the green signal for Season 4 and more, given the show’s smashing success. Meanwhile, details on what Season 3 will unveil are still under wraps, especially with Season 2 not fully concluded just yet. Though Racioppa teased in a chat with CoveredGeekly about casting Oliver Grayson, Nolan’s son and Mark’s step-brother, hinting at more exciting developments to come.
And for those scratching their heads over the live-action “Invincible” movie in the works, you’re not alone. Turning this expansive, animated saga and its comic roots into a single film has fans curious—and a bit skeptical—about how it will all play out. But if there’s anything “Invincible” has taught us, it’s to expect the unexpected.
