Amazon Renews ‘Invincible' for Season 5 While You're Still Waiting for Season 4
The news that Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season shouldn't come as a surprise to fans. During the Season 3 press tour, Robert Kirkman boldly declared that he and Skybound Entertainment plan to release new seasons of Invincible every year until the series fully adapts his 2000s superhero comic book. At San Diego Comic-Con (thanks, GamesRadar+), while discussing the renewal for season four, Kirkman estimated that the show could ideally have around eight seasons or more if Prime Video is willing to indulge them.
'I mean, that sounds ridiculous. A lot of shows don't last that long. The Walking Dead got to go 11 seasons, which is kind of crazy,' Kirkman said. 'So I don't know. I mean, I'm really just focusing on adapting the comic in the most faithful, interesting, enhancing way possible. And so we'll see what it ends up being.'
While the declaration came with some tepid worry online over whether the show's animators would be able to match the output of the show and maintain (or exceed) its level of animation quality, today's news will likely comfort fans who felt pointedly afflicted by the gap between its first and second seasons as well as season 2's infamous break between its final stretch of episodes.
Tough feelings aside, Prime Video chose not to dwell on those bad vibes. Instead, it celebrated the merriment of its season 5 reveal by sharing a video of its voice cast reacting to the news of its renewal, accompanied by a series of guffaws at how its renewal is a sign of the show's rip-roaring success.

— INVINCIBLE (@InvincibleHQ) July 17, 2025In a press release announcing that Invincible's fifth season is still a long way off, Prime Video praised the show's third season. They highlighted that it was the biggest returning season in Prime Video's original adult animated series catalog. The streamer also celebrated the numerous award nominations the series has received, including Best Animated Series nominations at the Critics' Choice Awards and Emmy nominations. Additionally, Invincible has earned a Certified Fresh ranking on Rotten Tomatoes, making it instantly appealing to those who value reviews at a glance from the site.
In io9's review for Invincible Season 3, we walked away liking more than we disliked about the show, celebrating its discernment for leaving parts of the comic book on the cutting room floor, and being completely enamored with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's arrival as Conquest while being a tad less enamored with its violence losing its oomph and Atom Eve becoming the series' Green Lantern in the worst way possible (save for its season finale).
Regardless, everything is coming up Viltrumite for Invincible. In addition to future seasons being locked in, fans can also look forward to Invincible VS—a tag fighting game from Skybound Games and Quarter Up, the former developers behind Killer Instinct. With all these future Invincible projects waiting in the wings, here's hoping its comic adaptation soars to even greater animated heights than its past seasons.
Invincible is streaming on Prime Video.

‘Happy Gilmore 2' star Adam Sandler's one crucial rule for his daughters navigating Hollywood
Comedy icon Adam Sandler is swinging back into action in "Happy Gilmore 2." After nearly 30 years, he's brought back some familiar faces — and some new ones — for the movie, including his two daughters. Sandler has been in the Hollywood spotlight for more than three decades, and he told Fox News Digital he's shared one crucial piece of advice with his kids, Sunny, 18, and Sadie, 16, as they followed in his acting footsteps. "Be nice to everybody," the comedian said. His co-star, Julie Bowen, 55, who reprised her role as publicist Virginia Venit in the sequel, echoed that sentiment. "You raised them right," she said, praising Sandler for his parenting skills. "Be nice to everybody. Don't just be nice to the fancy people," Bowen said. Sandler added, "The crew is all you got. They work their a--es off." WATCH: ADAM SANDLER'S ONE PIECE OF ADVICE TO HIS DAUGHTERS FOLLOWING IN HIS ACTING FOOTSTEPS He said he's urged his children to be kind to everyone, whether they're famous or behind-the-scenes crew members. But Sandler had different advice about those making an impressive amount of cash. "Be nice to everybody. … Anyone who is making too much cash, you can give them a snap." Sandler joked, "Anyone who is making too much cash, you can give them a snap." The "Happy Gilmore" writer and producer quipped he wasn't aware his two daughters were going to be featured in the sequel. "I didn't even know they were in this," he told Fox News Digital. "No, they showed up on set, and I said, 'What's up? What are you doing here?' They're like, 'We're in this dude.'" Sandler's wife Jackie is also featured in the film, along with several other new and familiar faces, including Chris McDonald; Ben Stiller; Haley Joel Osment; Eminem; Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, better known as rapper Bad Bunny; NFL star Travis Kelce; and others. His famous character, Happy Gilmore, first came out swinging in the original movie in 1996. Now, Sandler's short-fused legend is making a comeback in the comedy sports sequel. This time around, his character is focused on making his kid's dream come true. Sandler has had many memorable roles throughout his illustrious career in Hollywood, from movies like "Billy Madison," "The Waterboy," "The Wedding Singer," "The Longest Yard," "Just Go With It," "Blended," "50 Frist Dates" and many others. The 58-year-old told Fox News Digital the key to a successful career in comedy. "We work hard with a bunch of people who like to create, write stuff down, try to make it fresh as much as we can and think about the audience." His co-star Bowen is back by Sandler's side for the sequel, but she initially didn't think she would be. The "Modern Family" star previously admitted she thought Sandler would replace her with a "younger woman." "Why did I say that?" Bowen laughed. "Why did you say that? I would never do that!" Sandler replied. WATCH: ADAM SANDLER JOKES HE WOULD REPLACE ONE 'HAPPY GILMORE' CHARACTER WITH A YOUNGER STAR "My sons told me … called me up from school and said, 'Mom, you're not going to be in Happy Gilmore 2," Bowen said. "I said, 'There is no Happy Gilmore 2!' This is before there was even a movie. … I would know if there was going to be one. I think I would've heard something. … It was bad intel." Sandler chimed in and jokingly said, "If I'm replacing anyone it would be Shooter," referencing McDonald's character. "You're going to replace Shooter with Sydney Sweeney?" Bowen laughed, as Sandler screamed, "Yes!" "She would be great with the finger guns," Bowen remarked. In the original "Happy Gilmore" movie, McDonald portrayed the ultimate villain as he attempted to sabotage Sandler's golf game. While McDonald was the reigning king of the PGA, his world was turned upside-down by the wild, unconventional and unapologetically brash Happy Gilmore. When Fox News Digital asked McDonald if the rivalry between his character and Sandler's was just as intense this time around, he replied, "It's even better."

"But, at the same time, I had a really redemptive moment where I realized what we should do together to save this great game of golf." "Happy Gilmore 2" premieres on Netflix July 25.
