Prime Video confirms Invincible season 5 is in the works, but I'm more intrigued about who'll be voiced by Matthew Rhys in the Amazon TV show's fourth season

Amazon has renewed Invincible for a fifth season The highly-rated animated show's fourth entry will arrive sometime in 2026 Matthew Rhys has also joined the Prime Video series' voice cast for season 4 Amazon has revealed Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season. The announcement, which was made on the adult animated show's social media channels yesterday (July 17), confirms Invincible season 4 won't be its final entry. Considering how popular the critically-acclaimed Prime Video series is, that's no great surprise, but it's nonetheless pleasing to hear that Mark Grayson's story will continue on one of the world's best streaming services. Interestingly, Amazon also revealed that the show's cast had already completed recording their lines for its fifth season. It's likely, then, that Invincible season 5 could be ready to go in 2027 and maintain Prime Video's recently established plan to release new seasons annually: Invincible season 2 part 1 aired in late 2023, Invincible season 2 part 2 launched in early 2025, and its third and most recent season released earlier this year. Season 4 is set to arrive in 2026, too, so there's no reason to suspect the show's fifth installment won't arrive a year after that. Which character might be voiced by Matthew Rhys in Invincible season 4? Invincible's latest renewal and the completion of voice work on season 5 weren't the only announcements made in the above video. Indeed, Amazon also revealed that Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) had joined the voice cast for one of the best Prime Video shows' fourth chapter. Understandably, Rhys' role is being kept under wraps, but that doesn't mean we can't guess which character he'll portray. After all, there are plenty of candidates in the series' graphic novel namesake who've yet to show up in its animated adaptation. So, who could Rhys be voicing? Grand Regent Thragg is a possibility but, as much as I like Rhys as an actor, I'm not sure he has the gravitas to play the Viltrum Empire's commander-in-chief. J.K. Simmons, who plays Omni-Man, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who voices Conquest, have proven that actors with deeper voices are best suited to portray Viltrumites, so I don't think Rhys is the right fit for Thragg. If he plays a villain, he might be better hamming it up as someone like Dinosaurus – real name David Anders – who's something of an superhuman eco-terrorist and, as his name implies, a formidable shape-shifting humanoid reptile when he's in his dino-form. Dinosaurus is a dangerous albeit silly character, so Rhys might be the perfect fit to play him. On the more heroic front, Rhys may be the ideal actor for someone like Space Racer or Tech Jacket. We've briefly seen these superpowered beings in past seasons of Invincible, but neither character has uttered a word yet. It's possible, then, that Rhys has been tapped to voice one of them. I guess we'll find out for sure when Invincible season 4 is eventually released. In the meantime, read the section below for more coverage on the series' latest season.

Reaching season five is a truly heroic feat for a TV series in our day and age. And so, we have to congratulate Invincible for its season five renewal on Prime Video.

Invincible, of course, is based on an award-winning comic book series by Robert Kirkman. It follows the adventures and misadventures of Mark Grayson, who must navigate both his teenage status and his heroic status, as he strives to become Earth's greatest defender. Invincible is a funny, dark, bloody, and irreverent series. It really is an animated superhero show like no other. And we recommend it as a double feature with The Boys. Invincible stars an incredible line-up of talent, which includees: Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, and J.K. Simmons, Invincible's voice cast also includes 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. We're sure these folks and more will return for season five of Invincible. The series is produced by Skybound Entertainment's animation studio Skybound Animation.

Robert Kirkman Breaks Down INVIBCIBLE Season 3, Why Mark's Future Should Scare You, and Lessons Learned from THE WALKING DEAD — GeekTyrant
Robert Kirkman knows how to wreck a superhero emotionally and physically, and Invincible Season 3 is a showcase of that skill. As the second half of the season wrapped on Prime Video, fans were left reeling from the mental toll on Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), his brutal battle with Conquest, and the growing realization that Mark may be heading down a darker path than anyone expected. In a recent interview with Deadline, Kirkman offered a candid breakdown of Mark's psychological spiral, his complicated relationship with his half-brother Oliver, and how experience from The Walking Dead helped shape a more structurally sound adaptation this time around. Mark's Crossroads Season 3 is all about what kind of man—and hero—Mark is becoming. One of the most telling dynamics this year is the brotherly bond (or fracture) between Mark and Oliver, the half-Viltrumite sibling he barely knows but is now responsible for mentoring. The tension between their moral codes becomes a mirror that Mark can't look away from. 'I think it's good to give Mark as many outside influences as possible,' Kirkman said. '...One of the results of interacting with his father was that he brought Oliver home. Oliver has the same dad but is from an alien world... For Mark, his feelings can sometimes be scary when he seemingly agrees with some of the crazy things that Oliver is saying.' That inner conflict is no small matter. As Kirkman explains, Oliver starts off saying 'harsh things that make you worry,' but by the end of the season, Mark finds himself more aligned with his brother than before. 'So, by the end of this season, you should be worried for where Mark is headed in Season 4 and beyond.' A Relentless Descent Mark's downward arc isn't just philosophical, it's paved in blood. From Powerplex to the Invincible War and finally to his knock-down, drag-out fight with Conquest, Kirkman makes clear that the exhaustion and trauma have layered onto Mark's conscience in ways that aren't going away. 'He is unsure of himself and fears that he could be on the path getting closer and closer to what Omni-Man was... Without having any time to process that or work through it... Conquest comes and does more damage that Mark feels responsible for,' Kirkman said. It's that spiral of grief, guilt, self-doubt, then rage that sets the stage for Season 4's more dangerous version of Mark. As Kirkman put it, 'We're trying to deal with what it would be like to have the burden of the responsibility of having this much power... and we're excited about how the show goes into some really dark places.' The Teenage Factor But this is still a coming-of-age story, and Mark's contradictions are intentional. 'He's a somewhat erratic character by design,' Kirkman noted. 'We're constantly pushing this character to make bold statements and then go against those statements... That's kind of the life that we all experienced as a teenager... and it's fun to see a character go through that same process while he's able to crush planets.' Walking Dead Wisdom If Invincible feels more structurally sound than The Walking Dead ever was. Kirkman says the experience of adapting a comic he hadn't finished yet taught him some hard lessons. 'There were times [on The Walking Dead] when it was like, 'Yeah, let's make that different. That'll be fun.' But then you get to Season 6–Season 9, and you have entire storylines from the comic that don't work anymore...' Now, with Invincible, Kirkman says they've done the opposite. 'There's a lot of decisions that were made on Invincible Season 1–Season 3... so that when we're going Season 5–Season 6... we know the track has been laid.' The Conquest Challenge Of course, making Invincible isn't just emotionally demanding, it's a logistical beast. The fight between Mark and Conquest in the finale was one of the toughest scenes yet to animate. Kirkman revealed: 'We had to get extra board artists to come in... Usually, you have four or five board artists... I think we had six or seven that were doing two to four-minute chunks... It was an all-hands-on-deck kind of effort.' That battle was a key point of escalation—and that escalation is something Kirkman is intentionally building season after season. 'We're trying to make the show an escalating show... so that when you watch the show, you get a sense of growth... and intensifying stakes.' The Role of Violence As for the show's signature blood-and-guts spectacle? Kirkman says the violence only works if it means something. 'I don't really think of the violence as are we going too far... I'm thinking, is this violence resulting in the correct emotions we're trying to elicit...?' he said. 'We're trying to push the emotional buttons... so that you have that feeling.' And while streaming gives them room to push boundaries, Kirkman points to The Boys as the trailblazer that lets Invincible fly under the radar. 'I get to watch that show and go, 'We can do anything.'' Where It's All Going Mark Grayson may have set out to be Earth's protector, but Season 3 leaves us with a much more complicated reality: he's not just battling villains anymore—he's fighting who he might become. And that, according to Kirkman, is exactly the point. 'By the end of this season, you should be worried for where Mark is headed in Season 4 and beyond.' If that's not a warning shot, nothing is.

Invincible Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 4, 2025, 20:11 IST Invincible has solidified its place as one of Prime Video's most gripping animated superhero series, captivating audiences with its intense storytelling, emotional depth, and star-studded voice cast. With Season 3's explosive finale leaving fans eager for more, speculation about Invincible Season 4 is at an all-time high. From release date rumors to confirmed cast members and tantalizing plot details, here's everything we know so far about the next chapter of Mark Grayson's superhero journey. Release Date Speculation for Invincible Season 4 While an exact release date for Invincible Season 4 has not been confirmed, multiple sources indicate that the show is on track to premiere in early 2026, likely between March and April. Creator Robert Kirkman has expressed a commitment to reducing the lengthy gaps between seasons, aiming to maintain the cadence established between Seasons 2 and 3 (a roughly 10-month gap). Expected Cast for Invincible Season 4 Invincible boasts an impressive ensemble of voice actors, and Season 4 is expected to bring back many fan-favorite performers while introducing new talent for pivotal roles. Here's a breakdown of the anticipated cast: Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible : The heart of the series, Mark Grayson, will return, with Yeun's nuanced performance continuing to anchor the show. J.K. Simmons as Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man : Omni-Man's complex redemption arc will likely continue, with Simmons delivering a powerhouse performance. Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson : Mark's mother remains a key emotional touchstone, expected to navigate new challenges in Season 4. Gillian Jacobs as Atom Eve : Eve's evolving powers and relationship with Mark will be central, with Jacobs confirmed to return. Walton Goggins as Cecil Stedman : The morally ambiguous GDA leader will likely play a significant role, especially given his actions in Season 3's finale. Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Conquest : After surviving Season 3's brutal showdown, Conquest is expected to return, setting up intense confrontations. Clancy Brown as Damien Darkblood : A post-credits scene in Season 3 teased an original storyline for the demon detective, with Brown reprising his role. Seth Rogen as Allen the Alien : Allen's alliance with Mark and Nolan will be crucial, with Rogen confirmed for Season 4. Christian Convery as Oliver Grayson/Kid Omni-Man: Mark's half-brother is growing into his powers, and Convery's role is expected to expand. Invincible Season 4 Potential Plot Invincible Season 4 is poised to be the most action-packed and emotionally charged season yet, building on the dramatic events of Season 3's finale. While specific plot details remain under wraps, several key storylines are expected to dominate, drawing from both the Invincible comics and original content crafted for the show. Here's what we can anticipate: The Viltrumite War Arc Season 4 is widely expected to adapt the Viltrumite War , a pivotal storyline from the comics where Mark, Omni-Man, and the Coalition of Planets face off against the Viltrum Empire. The introduction of Thragg, the ruthless Grand Regent of the Viltrumites, will escalate the stakes, presenting Mark with his most formidable opponent yet. Thragg is described as stronger than Conquest, Anissa, and even Nolan, making him a terrifying threat. The season may open in outer space, focusing on Nolan and Allen the Alien's efforts to prepare for this climactic conflict. The first half could center on building alliances and strategies, while the latter half dives into the war itself, featuring brutal battles and complex moral dilemmas. Mark's Darker Path Season 3 ended with Mark declaring he'll kill anyone who threatens his family, signaling a darker, more ruthless side to his character. This evolution will likely be a focal point, as Mark grapples with the moral implications of his choices while facing new threats. Atom Eve's Powers and Potential Pregnancy Atom Eve's near-death experience in Season 3 revealed new immortality powers, but her malfunctioning abilities could hint at deeper issues. If the show follows the comics, Season 4 may explore Eve's potential pregnancy, adding emotional weight to her relationship with Mark. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
