Invincible wrapped its second season earlier this year. While the series has received much acclaim from critics, the gap between the first season, which premiered in 2021, and the second season became a hot topic of conversation in the fanbase. Now that the superhero show has been given the green light for a fourth season, many are left wondering how long it will take to cover the entire comic book series. And Robert Kirkman’s plans have left fans feeling a bit unsettled.

Robert Kirkman recently informed at San Diego Comic-Con that a seven or eight-season length for Invincible would help him get to the end of the series. “We're still having a lot of fun and Prime Video still likes us,” stated the comic book writer and producer. The first season of the Prime Video series covered around the first 13 of Invincible's 144 issues, and after the second season, the animated series has covered only about the first 47 of them.

This opens the door to the possibility of filler episodes or storylines, which could lead to a drop in the show’s quality. However, this is not the first time Kirkman has hinted at Invincible being a long haul. He told Variety last month, “I feel like we’re just getting started”. Last year, the screenwriter even told Collider that he would want the series to last for "100 seasons.”

While that was clearly an exaggeration, fans are apprehensive about the 7-8 season plan for Invincible as well.

Robert Kirkman has previously been criticized for ruining a big franchise by making it last for too long. His post-apocalyptic horror drama series, The Walking Dead, which premiered in 2010, is still around through a number of spinoffs. Considering the creator’s tendency to not know when to pull the curtains, fans fear that Invincible might meet the same fate if it is stretched to an excessive length. “That’s too much ngl,” wrote a fan.

Many fans compared Invincible with The Boys and said that it should end with season 5, as the Eric Kripke show will.

While Invincible has definitely helped Amazon Prime's superhero content, especially in this era of superhero fatigue, overstretching could cause the show to lose its appeal among viewers. Nonetheless, so far, Invincible is a quality show, and as long as it stays on track, the series has everything it needs to become Amazon’s crown jewel in superhero television.
