INVINCIBLE Creator Says The Stakes are "Really High" in Season 3 and Every Episode Feels "Like a Finale"
For those of you excited for the return of Prime Video’s animated series Invincible, prepare for an intense experience. According to creator Robert Kirkman, the stakes in this season are “really high” and every episode is going to feel like a finale.
During an interview with GamesRadar+, Kirkman teased: "The stakes of the season are really high and the content of the season is really dense.
“So we've set up a lot of stories in season 1 and season 2 that are kind of coming to a head in season three. And so in a lot of ways, every episode does kind of feel like a finale."
The comic book creator went on to talk about the episodes, saying: "There's something big about every episode, there's a massive conclusion in every episode, there's some kind of huge evolution of a character or story turn that happens in every episode. I'm really excited to finally get to see season 3 because it's gonna be crazy."
During San Diego Comic-Con, we also got the first look at season 3, which features Mark Grayson in his new blue suit for the first time.
Kirkman talked about the new look, saying: "It's definitely an evolution of the series. I think it's growing darker season to season, if you can believe it and yes, it's more of that.
“Mark was in a really strange place at the end of every season, but definitely in the case of the second season, having killed Angstrom Levy and having to deal with that.
“That’s really going to weigh on him and temper every decision he makes, every action he takes moving forward in season 3. It’s going to change the way that the show operates."
As for what's coming in Invincible Season 3, Kirkman teased: "I think you can see that Season 2 is an advancement of a lot of things that were introduced in Season 1.
“The stakes were higher, things got a little crazier, and there were a lot of pieces moving that were hinting at a lot of bigger stories. Those bigger stories really start crashing down in Season 3."
The story for the series “revolves around 18-year-old Mark Grayson, who's just like every other guy his age—except his father is (or was) the most powerful superhero on the planet.
“Still reeling from Nolan's betrayal in Season One, Mark struggles to rebuild his life as he faces a host of new threats, all while battling his greatest fear – that he might become his father without even knowing it.”
The series stars Steven Yeun, with Sandra Oh, Zazie Beetz, Grey DeLisle, Chris Diamantopoulos, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Michael Richardson, Seth Rogen, and J.K. Simmons.
