Prime Video Renews ‘Invincible’ for Season 6 and Jack Quaid Joins as Gravitator

Prime Video has exciting news for ‘Invincible’ fans. The acclaimed animated superhero series has been officially renewed for a sixth season, and star Jack Quaid is set to take on an additional role in the show’s expanding universe.

These announcements were made during Prime Video’s inaugural panel at the Annecy International Animation Festival. During the event, ‘Invincible’ executive producer and co-showrunner Robert Kirkman revealed that Quaid will voice a new character named Gravitator, also known as Chris, in the upcoming fifth season.

Quaid is already recognized by fans as the voice of Mark Grayson, the series’ main protagonist. His addition in a second role signifies another intriguing development for the animated adaptation, which continues to broaden its character roster from the original comic books.

In addition to the casting news, Kirkman and Prime Video’s head of animation Melissa Wolfe confirmed that ‘Invincible’ has secured a sixth season. This announcement comes even before Season 5 has premiered, showcasing Prime Video’s confidence in the series and its future.

The early renewal also establishes ‘Invincible’ as the longest-running animated original series on Prime Video to date. The superhero drama has emerged as one of the platform’s most significant successes since its debut, receiving acclaim from both critics and audiences for its mature storytelling, action sequences, and faithful adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic series.

The ‘Invincible’ announcements were part of a broader presentation focused on Prime Video’s expanding animation lineup. The panel also featured updates on several other projects currently in development or preparing to return with new seasons.

‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ executive producer Sam Riegel presented new footage from the upcoming fourth season of the fantasy series. Attendees were shown a clip featuring Pike’s confrontation with The Whispered One, also known as Gideon. Riegel also shared an early look at Season 2 of ‘The Mighty Nein’, which follows the group as they engage in a battle to defend Nicodranas during a goblin attack.

Elsewhere during the presentation, ‘Helluva Boss’ creator and executive producer Vivienne Medrano announced that the first part of Season 3 will premiere on October 14. Fans at the event were also treated to an early preview of the new season.

Prime Video also revealed the first official trailer for Season 2 of ‘Batman: Caped Crusader’. The animated Batman series is set to return on July 31.

The streaming platform took the opportunity to highlight several future animation projects as well. Upcoming titles currently in development include ‘Conan the Barbarian’, ‘Wytches’, ‘Lore Olympus’, and ‘Odd Jobs’.

Melissa Wolfe discussed Prime Video’s growing commitment to animation during the presentation.

“Prime Video held its first Studio Focus Panel at Annecy which is a milestone for us, and the announcements we shared today reflect the scale of our ambition.” She continued by outlining the company’s long-term vision for animated storytelling.

“Renewing ‘Invincible’ for a sixth season, bringing ‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ back this summer, and developing bold new titles like ‘Wytches’ and ‘Lore Olympus’ are the kinds of stories that prove animation isn’t a genre, it’s a canvas. We’re building a home where the best creators in the world want to tell their biggest stories.”

For ‘Invincible’ fans, the key takeaway is clear. With Season 5 on the horizon, a sixth season already confirmed, and Jack Quaid stepping into a new character, Prime Video is demonstrating its commitment to the franchise.
