Fans went wild on social media on Friday as a huge Amazon Original show returned for its second season: ‘This is a 10/10 already!’
Invincible, an adult animated superhero film, premiered on Prime back in 2021 and its first series was such a success that Amazon renewed the programme for a second and third series before the finale had even aired.
The show follows Mark Grayson, 17, voiced by Steven Yeun, and his transformation into a superhero under the guidance of his father, Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet, voiced by famed character actor J. K. Simmons.
Invincible is based on the American Image Comics series of the same name, which ran from 2003 to 2018, and a live-action film is in the works. Invincible’s first season holds a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The first of the eight episodes comprising Invincible’s second series was released on Friday and fans took to Twitter and Instagram in droves to praise it.
On Twitter, one fan wrote: ‘Radiohead montage in the opening!?yeahhh (sic) this season of invincible is 10/10 already.’
Another shared: ‘S2 Premiere of Invincible was really good. [I] Like the new takes from the source material and expansion of what the source material and S1 had.’
One more tweeted: ‘Invincible Season 2 off to a very strong start’

On Instagram, a fan wrote: ‘Terrific opening episode!! Can’t wait to see what happens next! [two raised hands emojis]’
A particularly complimentary fan declared: ‘Best series and comic in existence [smiley face emoji, red love heart emoji].’
One viewer exclaimed: ‘What an amazing first episode!! Invincible will truly need to live up to his name for what threats he faces next episode. [red heart emoji]’
Finally, one fanatic simply wrote: ’10/10′
Invincible’s first four episodes will be released weekly. It will then take break before again releasing the final four weekly.
Amazon has not yet revealed on what date the second-half of the series, also starring Sandra Oh, will begin airing.
There was a one-episode special of Invincible released in July focusing on the recurring character Atom Eve, voiced by Gillian Jacobs.
Its first season was rated 18, due to its graphic violence, but its second is a 15, giving fans a hint of the content of the remaining episodes.
