There are only a few weeks to go until a TV show returns that fans have hailed for being ‘absolutely addictive’ and many can’t wait to see what the new season has in store.
Next month, Invincible – one of the biggest TV hits on Amazon Prime Video in recent years – is returning with season 3.
First launching in 2021, the adult animated superhero series is based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name and follows the tale of a teenager called Mark Grayson (voiced by The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun) as he goes on a path of self-discovery while becoming a superhero.
The first two seasons both received critical acclaim, with critics praising its ‘bloody action’ and ‘transfixing story’, as well as drawing parallels to the notoriously violent and subversive superhero show The Boys.
With season three of Invincible now mere days away, fans are excited beyond belief to watch the new episodes… particularly those who have an inkling of what’s going to happen after reading the comics.
‘As someone who has read the comics just earlier this year, this is the season Invincible really, really starts,’ a YouTube user called THEcallumation commented after watching the trailer.

Another user called Davi.A.B.2004 agreed, writing: ‘Season three of Invincible is going to be epic. They have everything [for this] to be the best season of this show.’
‘Now this is where Invincible REALLY starts… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,’ ainsassobrawler added.
Some comments pointed to the fact that in the trailer, Mark is shown switching from his bright yellow and blue suit to one that’s instead black and blue.
One comic book fan called kysonbarlow8748 stressed: ‘For those of you who haven’t read the comics, Mark’s new blue suit means one of the most BRUTAL fights is closing in!’
‘The blue and black suit!!! This season gonna be PEAK fr,’ John44345 stated.

Others highlighted one of the most dramatic lines featured in the trailer, which goes: ‘You can be the good guys, or the guys that save the world. You can’t be both.’
‘Goes unbelievably hard,’ vi5ionnono507 remarked about the line of dialogue, as djmegablast9855 called it ‘easily one of the HARDEST bars of the year!!!’
In the official Amazon Prime Video synopsis for Invincible season three, it states: ‘Based on Robert Kirkman’s award-winning comic book series, Invincible follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson, as he inherits his father’s superpowers and sets out to become Earth’s greatest defender, only to discover the job is more challenging than he could have ever imagined.
‘Everything changes as Mark is forced to face his past, and his future, while discovering how much further he’ll need to go to protect the people he loves.’
Viewers can currently catch up on the first two seasons of Invincible on Amazon Prime Video, which both consist of eight episodes each, as well as the special which came out in July 2023.
Invincible season 3 launches with the first three episodes on Thursday February 6 on Amazon Prime Video.
