‘Invincible’: Amazon Renews Robert Kirkman Animated Series For 2 More Seasons!
Some excellent news for fans of animated (and somewhat violent) superhero drama! ‘Invincible‘, from ‘The Walking Dead’ creator Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, is living up to its name, by picking up a two-season renewal on Amazon Prime!
‘Invincible’ follows the story of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a regular teenager whose father just so happens to be the most powerful superhero in the world, Omni-Man (J. K. Simmon). Shortly after his 17th birthday, Mark begins to develop powers of his own and enters into his father’s tutelage, only to discover that Omni-Man’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems…
“I’m extremely thankful to Amazon for the support and dedication they’ve put behind Invincible,” commented Kirkman. “The comic book is truly a love letter to a genre that Cory and I grew up reading and loving, and it’s been a gratifying journey to watch our characters come to life again through the animated series. We’re beyond excited to continue this story for at least two more seasons.”
Joining former TWD castmate Yeun, are fellow TWD stars Khary Payton, who voices Black Samson, Lauren Cohan who voices War Woman, Sonequa Martin-Green portrays Green Ghost, Chad Coleman plays Martian Man, Michael Cudlitz voices Red Rush, Lennie James plays Darkwing, and brilliant voice actor and mimic Ross Marquand will voice both The Immortal and Aquarius. They are all members of Guardians of the Globe, the world’s premiere superhero team.
The cast is not only ‘Walking Dead’ people, as they are joined by Zazie Beetz (Domino in ‘Deadpool 2’) as Amber Bennett, the girlfriend of Mark Grayson/Invincible (Yeun); Andrew Rannells (‘Girls’) who plays Mark’s best friend William Clockwell; Walton Goggins (‘Justified’) voices government liaison Cecil Stedman; The legendary Mark Hamill (‘Star Wars’) portrays superhero tailor Art; Gillian Jacobs (‘Community’) plays superhero Atom Eve; Jason Mantzoukas (‘Big Mouth’) voices Rex Splode; Seth Rogen (‘The Lion King’) voices Allen the Alien; And Star Trek’s Michael Dorn voices the character of Battle Beast!
Simon Racioppa (‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’) is showrunner and exec produces the series alongside Kirkman, David Alpert and Catherine Winder, with supervising directors Justin & Chris Copeland (‘Avengers Assemble’, ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’). Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment produces the show alongside Point Grey Pictures.
‘Invincible’ is available to watch right now on Amazon Prime, with the Season 1 finale airing tomorrow!
