"Invincible" season 3 has completed its eight-episode run. After an over two-year break between seasons 1 and 2 and then a mid-season break during the second season, the third season went by quickly with no interruptions.
That choice to not interrupt the season was a good one because the ending of season 3 was the strongest this show has ever been. Keeping the momentum into season 4 will now be critical.
For those who aren't familiar, this Prime Video comic book adaptation is based on the comic series of the same name created by Robert Kirkman. Predating Kirkman's other famous comic series "The Walking Dead," "Invincible" has been around as a comic book for a while. And like "The Boys" — Prime Video's other famous comic adaptation — it's a breath of fresh air for anyone with superhero fatigue.
So whether you're a returning fan or checking out this adults-only superhero animated show for the first time, here's everything to know about "Invincible" season 3, including the release date, trailer, cast and more.
'Invincible' season 3 release date
All eight episodes of "Invincible" season 3 are available to stream on Prime Video.

'Invincible' season 3 reviews
Having seen the entire season, I can confirm it's worth the watch.
The first three episodes are an impressive return to form and the final two are probably the two best episodes of the series to date. Episode 7 is one of the best episodes of TV this year.
Don't just take it from me though. As of this writing, the third season of Prime Video's hit animated superhero show has a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Here are some of the early reviews:
- "By focusing beyond generic cliches, it shows us once again why it’s the best superhero show in the game." - Lyvie Scott, Inverse
- This season we see a lot of mental struggles and characters thinking about their future. Things get deep and heavy, but there are still a few epic showdowns squeezed in. - Tessa Smith, Mama's Geeky
- While this season might not feature as many bombastic set pieces as in previous seasons, it trades those moments out for deeper character development. - Logan Moore, ComicBook.com
'Invincible' season 3 trailers
Spoilers for 'Invincible' follow
If you want to know what's coming in season 3 ... well, this first teaser trailer won't give you much. But it's still worth watching, if for no other reason than to hear "Invincible" essentially apologize for its inexplicable season 2 midseason break.

However, a subsequent poster revealed a lot more, including a reveal of season 3's possible villain.

That reveal was confirmed in the show's first official trailer for season 3, which shows of a notably more powerful Invincible. You can watch it all below.
As you see, GDA director Cecil Steadman (Walton Goggins) even says "we can be the good guys, or we can be the guys that save the world. We can't be both." So maybe it's not a shock that Mark and Cecil are at odds this season.
But that's not the only big reveal in this trailer. At the 0:48 mark, we see Oliver Grayson is now Kid-Omni-Man, which is a major development. We also see Dupli-Kate facing off against multiple heroes and the reveal of "blue suit" Invincible. Expect this season to pull no punches as it makes its way further into Robert Kirkman's iconic story.

With just about one week to go, Prime Video dropped a sneak peek of "Invincible" on the show's X (Twitter) account. This teaser doesn't show off much but does reiterate that Mark vs. Cecil is the main focus of the show this season, at least in the beginning.
This exclusive first look at episode 1 on YouTube shows off a bit more. Admittedly, it's not really anything we haven't already seen in the trailers, but it does confirm just how strong Mark is going into season 3.
'Invincible' season 3 cast
"Invincible" season 3 brings back a lot of familiar faces, or rather, a lot of familiar voices. But it also adds some major new names, including Aaron Paul, Kate Mara and Simu Liu. Here's everyone we expect to feature in the "Invincible" season 3 cast:

'Invincible' season 3 plot speculation
Editor's note: This speculation is based on what we knew before the season premiere of season 3.
At the end of "Invincible" season 2, Mark Grayson aka Invincible (Steven Yeun) was left reeling from his battle with Angstrom Levy (Sterling K. Brown). He killed Angstrom in a berserker rage, leaving him stranded in an alternate dimension until a future version of the Guardians of the Globe saved him, bringing him back to his home dimension in the present day.
This didn't come without a bombshell though. Before he returned to the proper place in space-time, Atom Eve (Gillian Jacobs) confessed her feelings for Mark. But upon returning to the present, Mark can't admit he loves her too. This turmoil will surely play a part in the upcoming season.
In an interesting twist, we're not picking right up after the events of season 2. SFX magazine has confirmed that there will be a time jump, taking us several months into the future to a 19-year-old version of Mark. In an interview with SFX, co-showrunner Simon Racioppa teased that we'll get a changed version of Mark by the time season 3 is over. This will tie into his sartorial evolution into his blue and black Invincible suit, which "Invincible" creator and co-showrunner Robert Kirkman has said will be at least part of season 3's focus.
Looming over everything the Viltrumite invasion. The Viltrumites finally arrived on Earth in season 2, with the Viltrumite Anissa (Shantel VanSanten) soundly defeating Mark before his battle with Angstrom. She's now reported to the Viltrumite General Kregg (Clancy Brown), and the Empire's invasion of Earth is just a matter of time.
Mark isn't the only hope for defeating the Viltrumite Empire. After starting a second family and fathering another alien child on another alien planet, Nolan Grayson aka Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) was captured by the Empire. He's imprisoned alongside Allen the Alien (Seth Rogen), who may have finally convinced Nolan to fight with The Coalition of Planets against the Viltrumites. There's just the small matter of actually breaking free from the Viltrumites.
Oh, and we were also re-introduced to the mummy Ka-Hor, who first appeared briefly in season 1. Ka-Hor is a show creation, so it's unclear what role he will play in season 3. In fact, he may not even show up much in season 3 at all. In an interview with Collider, "Invincible" comic creator Robert Kirkman said he hopes to get eight or nine seasons to tell the full story.

But whether we get to any of that or not, one thing is for sure — this season is all about Mark vs. Cecil. At least, that's certainly the main conflict that's been teased so far in the official trailers. It looks like there will also be some new villains introduced to be a thorn in Mark's side. Prime Video unveiled one such villain, Powerplex, in an X (Twitter) post. This character's origin story in the comics comes from Omni-Man's devastating attack on Chicago. If you want to see if the show holds true to that villain arc, you'll need to watch the first three episodes on February 6 to see for yourself.
