Amazon’s hit animated series Invincible ripped a bloody path through our streaming queues upon its debut in 2021, a sleepy-seeming series that reached a violent, shocking climax at the end of its eight-episode first season. Of course, fans of creator Robert Kirkman’s superhero teen might know what to expect once they’ve read the comics the series is based on, but everyone else has been in limbo for over two years.
Invincible rewards that patience with a new trailer And a special episode, “Invincible Atom Eve,” an origin story of the superhero played by Gillian Jacobs.
The trailer is our first proper look at the new season, which follows Invincible’s (Steven Yuen) brutal confrontation with his father Omni-Man (JK Simmons) in the season finale. Unfortunately, it’s mostly a hype reel for the star cast, with not much actual footage. There’s also news that season two will be split into two parts: the first half will premiere weekly on Prime Video starting November 3, with the second half coming in early 2024.
Released during San Diego Comic-Con 2023, the new trailer is our first look at the series since January’s meta teaser, which saw Invincible and Allan the Alien (Seth Rogen) have a chat about when the show would return, with Invincible noting that it’s been that long because it’s animated a lot of work
We’ll see how all that hard work pays off (and finally catches up on season one’s brutal cliffhanger) when season 2 of Invincible releases the first half on November 3rd on Prime. Invincible Atom Eve is now available to stream.
