Prime Video is keeping Mark Grayson around for a while longer. The streamer confirmed today that Invincible has been renewed for a sixth season, and the announcement landed before Season 5 has even reached audiences. With that order in hand, the adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic now stands as the longest-running animated series on Prime Video.
The early greenlight does more than pad the show’s resume. It signals that Amazon wants Invincible on a predictable schedule, and Kirkman made clear in his statement that the team is already looking past Season 6. He pointed to “seasons 5, 6, and beyond,” which reads less like a wrap-up plan and more like a creator settling in for a long run.
Kirkman also reflected on the staying power of the property, noting that fresh viewers keep finding Mark and his world nearly 25 years after the comic first hit shelves. He credited the renewal to a fan base that has stuck around and to the crews handling the animation week to week. As part of that, longtime supervising directors Shaun O’Neill and Dan Duncan are stepping into executive producer roles, a promotion that rewards the people who have shaped the show’s look and pacing from the inside.
Details on Season 6 are nonexistent for now, and that is by design. Anything specific about where the story goes would tip Season 5’s hand, so Skybound and Prime Video are staying quiet. What we do know is that Season 5 is currently targeting a 2027 release.
The reason for locking things in this far out comes down to lead time. Animation moves slowly, and Invincible learned that lesson the hard way. Roughly two and a half years separated Season 1 and Season 2, a gap that wore on fans who had fallen for the show’s brutal first run. Since then, the series has settled into a yearly rhythm, and that cadence only holds if Amazon approves new seasons well ahead of schedule.
Season 5 followed the same playbook. It was announced in the summer of 2025, which handed the team two full years to build it out. Apply that same math to Season 6, and a 2028 window looks likely, though Prime Video has not attached an official date to it yet.
