Invincible Season 3 2025 Return Date Leaked – But Is It Legit?
A date announcement teaser for Prime Video's Invincible reportedly leaked, revealing the Season 3 return date in 2025 - but is it legit?
It was more than 2-1/2 years between Season 1 and Season 2 Part 1. It was four months between Season 2 Part 1 and Season 2 Part 2. Now, it looks like Prime Video's Steven Yeun & J.K. Simmons-starring adaptation of Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker & Ryan Ottley's comic book series Invincible has shortened the wait for new episodes even further – but there's a catch. Apparently, a date announcement teaser leaked online that's now making its way around social media and into the press that sees Mark and Cecil Stedman sitting in a Burger Mart booth having a frank conversation about Mark being ready for what's to come – doing a nice job of bleeding in storylines from the animated series as well as some in-jokes about the show's production and release schedule. From there, we get an end card that listed February 6, 2025, as the date for the third season – while adding that there won't be a break this season (addressing how some fans weren't thrilled with the second season being split). Is it legit? We don't know. It looks legit based on the quality of the copy we screened, but there are so many ways this could end up being a fan's hopes and dreams taken to an annoying misinformation level. So please tread lightly…
"I feel like we're just getting started. I'm very hopeful that this show can be around for awhile. With Season 4, we're really hitting our stride. There's really exciting stuff coming up in Season 4," Kirkman teased about the animated series' future during an interview with Variety, noting that what's to come will "blow people away." As Kirkman sees it, the reason for that excitement is built around the creative team's ability to build upon what came before the upcoming season and then elevate things to a whole other level.
"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. But Season 4 dwarfs Season 3 in a lot of really crazy ways. It's an escalating show where each season is going to be bigger, crazier, more intense, and that stuff really kicks off with Season 3," Kirkman explained.
As fans of the comic book series already know and viewers of the animated series will learn pretty quickly, Mark's change in suits will be a ten-ton metaphor for the changes that he will be going through heading into Season 3. "Going into the third season, it seemed like a good time to bring a new Mark to the forefront after everything he's been through in Season 2. He's in a different headspace and that gets reflected in his costume," Kirkman shared. "Anyone who has read the comic book series knows the blue suit era of 'Invincible' is the darkest and the most intense, and there's a lot of really big things that are around the blue suit."
Based on the groundbreaking comic book by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, the story 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 1, 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.
