“We finished season 2. We’re on to season 3,” said Payton. “But it’s so hard to say right now. There was a glut of animation studios just trying to get so much done and literally it was like, projects sitting there with a backpack full of material. They’re like, ‘Anytime you’re ready.'”

The prolonged gap between seasons can be attributed to delays from animation studios, which was recently a subject of controversy at Marvel. But Payton says the time off could be a good thing in the long run.
“I am so glad they greenlit 2 and 3 at the same time because that means when 3 comes out, it will feel like just next season, and not like, a lifetime,” said Payton.
Invincible seasons 2 and 3 are currently without a release date. All episodes of season 1 are on Amazon Prime Video.
