Invincible Season 2: Release Date, Trailer, Cast, and Everything to Know

More than two years after Invincible premiered on Prime Video, Season 2's release is finally around the corner. But we're still remembering images from the Season 1 finale like it was yesterday. Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), or Invincible, realizing that his father Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) had betrayed him? And the massacre that followed? Oof. We don't know what's next for the teen superhero after Omni-Man left the planet, but it's clear that new threats to Earth loom ahead.

In case you forgot: In the Season 1 finale, Nolan revealed to Mark that he was assigned to Earth to conquer the planet and asked his Viltrumite son to join him in this quest. Mark refused, and that's when Nolan wreaked havoc across Chicago as he ruthlessly beat up his son. But the most heartbreaking moment in the episode was undoubtedly when Nolan asked Mark what he would still have hundreds of years later, when the humans that his son is bent on protecting will all be dead. "You, Dad, I'd still have you," an entirely battered Mark said. Hearing this, Nolan at last ended his rampage and flew away from Earth with tears in his eyes. Whew!

From Invincible Season 2's teaser trailer, we know that Omni-Man will return. But it's also obvious that plenty of new antagonists will appear as Mark continues to sharpen his superpowers. Here's everything we know about Invincible Season 2 so far, including its release date, cast, and more.

When does Invincible Season 2 start?

Invincible Season 2 premieres Nov. 3 on Prime Video. The news was announced at San Diego Comic-Con. The season consists of eight episodes, and the first four will be released weekly beginning Nov. 3 before the show goes on a mid-season hiatus. "When you see the episodes, Episode 4 of Season 2 is a very obvious midseason finale," Robert Kirkman, who wrote the comic book series that the show adapts, told TV Guide. "People are going to need time to recover from that episode."

In the same interview, Kirkman shared that the wait between future seasons of the show is expected to be shorter. "We have lived through the longest period of time there will ever be between a season of Invincible," he said. "Every other season, however long we go, the wait will be less."

Invincible Season 2 trailer

We've been waiting for Season 2's official trailer, and it finally arrived at Prime Video's New York Comic Con panel on Oct. 14. The video shows Mark having an identity crisis following the confrontation with Omni-Man. It also introduces new characters, from The Shapesmith to Angstrom Levy. But the final moments of the Invincible Season 2 trailer are perhaps its most shocking. On a projector, Mark announces, "People of Earth, the more you resist, the worse this gets." You good, Invincible???

At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Prime Video dropped the teaser for Season 2. Plenty of the key characters from Season 1 make an appearance, including a dejected Debbie (Sandra Oh) with tears streaming down her face. "I didn't know who he was," she said, clearly referring to Nolan, who brutally likened their marriage to a relationship with a "pet" in Season 1's finale. The teaser also confirms that in addition to a number of returning cast members, a large roster of new actors will be joining the ensemble. That list is impressive, to say the least. Think Rhea Seehorn, Sterling K. Brown, Lea Thompson, and Ben Schwartz — and that's only a small portion.

Robert Kirkman watches the Invincible Honest Trailer

OK, you've seen Prime Video's trailer for Invincible, but have you seen Fandom's Honest Trailer for Invincible? Robert Kirkman has, and we invited him into the studio to pick it apart and give us his honest opinion about Fandom's Honest Trailer for Season 1 as well as drop some cool nuggets of information about the series that he hasn't shared anywhere else. Kirkman was a good sport about the barbs. "I enjoy Honest Trailers myself, and I watch them all the time," Kirkman said. "And then to see that thing you enjoy turned on you is pretty heartbreaking, and I don't enjoy it. But I'll allow it because it's fun when I'm seeing you guys do it to someone else."
