Invincible season 4: everything we know so far about the hit Prime Video show's return (release window, cast, plot)
\
Before this season's release window was announced, we only knew Invincible would return next year (see the X/Twitter post above for confirmation). Hopefully, it won't be long until an actual release date is revealed.
Not an official one. However, Invincible season 4 follows in the footsteps of two of its three predecessors by getting an amusing Burger Mart-set teaser teaser that acts as a bridge between last season and its next installment.
As for when an official trailer might arrive, I suspect it'll be sometime in January 2026.
Full spoilers follow for Invincible's third season.
Here's the confirmed cast for Invincible season 4 so far:
- Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible

Almost all of the aforementioned names have voiced characters throughout Invincible, but two new additions have been announced so far.
One of the first big storylines season 4 needs to resolve is the sequids-centric one. The parasitic lifeforms made their animated debut in season 1 episode 4 and have been a regular thorn in Mark's side ever since.
hat won't be the only problem Mark has to contend with. After Mark seemingly killed Conquest in the season 3 finale, it turns out the second-most powerful Viltrumite warrior is still alive. He's being kept in a secure and secret Global Defence Agency (GDA) location miles beneath the Earth's surface. The reason? Once Conquest wakes up from his coma, Cecil wants information on the Viltrum Empire and how it can be defeated. I can't see that going badly for Cecil and company...
So, yes, Conquest will return, but I won't reveal when or what awaits Mark when he does. Let's just say if Mark was mad that Cecil lied to him over D.A. Sinclair's reformation and continuing work on the ReAnimen, he's going to be apoplectic when he learns Conquest isn't dead.
Moving away from the titular superhero, next season will spend more time with everyone's favorite interracial bromance: Allen the Alien and Nolan Grayson.
The pair haven't had much screen time over the last two seasons, but that'll change soon because they'll have much more prominent roles to play. Indeed they'll attempt to track down allies and weapons to help them and the Coalition of Planets (CoP) in their upcoming fight against the Viltrum Empire.
They'll need all the help they can get, too, because season 4 is likely to end with another conflict – larger and more devastating than the Invincible War – between the CoP and Viltrumites. I won't spoil too much about that, but you'll want to prepare yourself for a battle for the ages.
There are plenty of other subplots to be resolved and new ones that'll be introduced in Invincible 4. There's going to be more melodrama for Mark and Eve to deal with, the return of villains who'll need to be put in their place, Immortal and Dupli-Kate settling down to start a family, another reboot of the Guardians of the Globe's line-up, and so much more.
One the new storyline front, one will focus on Damien Darkblood, the demon detective who was banished from Earth by Cecil midway through the show's first season.
That's where his story ends in the source material, but last season's finale confirmed Darkblood will be back in some capacity. Nobody knows how it'll factor into the overarching narrative, but it's nevertheless pleasing to see Kirkman expand on his literary works where he can.
Chatting to Variety about what this brand-new material will entail, Kirkman teased: "Every superhero story has some chapter where they go to hell and they fight the devil. It happens in DC and Marvel comics. It’s a big deal.
"I never got around to doing anything like that in Invincible. I kept getting side-tracked and there was never a good time. So, it’s entirely possible that we may be doing something like that in the show, and that scene at the end of that episode is setting that up."
