They ended the announcement by saying that Invincible had been cast as well.

"Invincible will return for a season 4. Should be sometime in 2026. Voice acting is complete. There may be a new storyline not in the comic featuring Darkblood. Thragg has been cast. Invincible has also been cast," the announcement read.

Talking to DiscussingFilm amidst the release of Invincible season 3 in February 2025, Robert Kirkman confirmed that Invincible season 4 will have a similar amount of wait time that Invincible season 2 and 3 had. He confirmed that they are working at a breakneck pace and are doing their best to get the show out on time behind the scenes.

"I think that the release schedule that we’re in is much more what we can expect going forward as opposed to the release schedule that we were in between season 1 and 2," said Kirkman.

However, he did say that he can't guarantee that the show will be coming out every February.

“We’re working at a breakneck pace behind the scenes with Shaun O’Neill and Dan Duncan and the entire team to keep this factory moving and keep this show in production so that we can come out in a fairly regular clip. I can’t guarantee that we’ll be coming back in early February every single year, but I can say that is the goal,” he continued.
