Prime Video confirms Invincible season 5 is in the works, but I'm more intrigued about who'll be voiced by Matthew Rhys in the Amazon TV show's fourth season

Amazon has renewed Invincible for a fifth season The highly-rated animated show's fourth entry will arrive sometime in 2026 Matthew Rhys has also joined the Prime Video series' voice cast for season 4 Amazon has revealed Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season. The announcement, which was made on the adult animated show's social media channels yesterday (July 17), confirms Invincible season 4 won't be its final entry. Considering how popular the critically-acclaimed Prime Video series is, that's no great surprise, but it's nonetheless pleasing to hear that Mark Grayson's story will continue on one of the world's best streaming services. Interestingly, Amazon also revealed that the show's cast had already completed recording their lines for its fifth season. It's likely, then, that Invincible season 5 could be ready to go in 2027 and maintain Prime Video's recently established plan to release new seasons annually: Invincible season 2 part 1 aired in late 2023, Invincible season 2 part 2 launched in early 2025, and its third and most recent season released earlier this year. Season 4 is set to arrive in 2026, too, so there's no reason to suspect the show's fifth installment won't arrive a year after that. Which character might be voiced by Matthew Rhys in Invincible season 4? Invincible's latest renewal and the completion of voice work on season 5 weren't the only announcements made in the above video. Indeed, Amazon also revealed that Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) had joined the voice cast for one of the best Prime Video shows' fourth chapter. Understandably, Rhys' role is being kept under wraps, but that doesn't mean we can't guess which character he'll portray. After all, there are plenty of candidates in the series' graphic novel namesake who've yet to show up in its animated adaptation. So, who could Rhys be voicing? Grand Regent Thragg is a possibility but, as much as I like Rhys as an actor, I'm not sure he has the gravitas to play the Viltrum Empire's commander-in-chief. J.K. Simmons, who plays Omni-Man, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who voices Conquest, have proven that actors with deeper voices are best suited to portray Viltrumites, so I don't think Rhys is the right fit for Thragg. If he plays a villain, he might be better hamming it up as someone like Dinosaurus – real name David Anders – who's something of an superhuman eco-terrorist and, as his name implies, a formidable shape-shifting humanoid reptile when he's in his dino-form. Dinosaurus is a dangerous albeit silly character, so Rhys might be the perfect fit to play him. On the more heroic front, Rhys may be the ideal actor for someone like Space Racer or Tech Jacket. We've briefly seen these superpowered beings in past seasons of Invincible, but neither character has uttered a word yet. It's possible, then, that Rhys has been tapped to voice one of them. I guess we'll find out for sure when Invincible season 4 is eventually released. In the meantime, read the section below for more coverage on the series' latest season.

Invincible Season 4's Dinosaurus Has a Voice Actor, Robert Kirkman Says 7-9 Seasons Needed to Do the Complete Comic Arc, Jokes Season 5 Will Be Out in 2032
During his panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Robert Kirkman announced that Matthew Rhys voices Dinosaurus in Invincible Season 4, and committed to a 2026 release window. Warning! Potential spoilers for Invincible Season 4 follow: Rhys, who played Philip Jennings in The Americans, plays Dinosaurus in Invincible. Dinosaurus is expected to be the next major villain to appear after Conquest, and in the comics seeks to heal the world from the toxic effects of human civilization. Meanwhile, Kirkman said all of Thragg's lines have been recorded, but stopped short of announcing the voice actor. Grand Regent Thragg is the true main villain of the Invincible saga, and the ruler of the Viltrumite Empire. With Season 4 set for release in 2026, fans are wondering what Kirkman's master plan is for Prime Video's Invincible adaptation. During the panel, he said 7-9 series will be needed to tell the story from the comics. 'Roughly seven to eight to nine seasons I think would be necessary to do the complete arc from the comics of Invincible,' he said. 'So we'll see. Hopefully we get there. We get a tonne of support from Amazon Prime and couldn't be more thrilled with how things are going. So, very excited and hopeful for it.' As fans know, Invincible has at times seen a large gap between season releases, and during the panel he joked that Season 5 will be out in 2032, adding: 'You can quote me on that.' Perhaps it's more likely he'll get close to completing the Invincible comic arc by then! And finally, Kirkman addressed a complaint about the animation quality of Invincible, insisting it was improving with each season. Outside of the Prime Video adaptation, Kirkman used his panel to reveal Battle Beast as a playable character in the upcoming Invincible VS video game. That's a fighting game, but some fans are hoping for an open world Invincible game. Kirkman addressed this request, too, pointing to the massive budgets that would be required to make such a game a reality. Smaller scale Invincible games sound more realistic, based on Kirkman's comments. Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

INVINCIBLE Season 4 Adds Matthew Rhys as Dinosaurus and Here's Why That's Huge — GeekTyrant
Invincible fans got some exciting news out of San Diego Comic-Con as it was confirmed that Matthew Rhys ( The Americans ) has officially joined the cast for Season 4. We also now know that he will be voicing the character Dinosaurus, a fan-favorite character from the comics who's about to shake things up in a major way. The announcement came during Robert Kirkman's panel at SDCC, and if you weren't there, the official Invincible X/Twitter account had you covered, sharing a look at the character in all his red dinosaur glory. At first glance, you might think Dinosaurus is just another monster-of-the-week for Mark Grayson to smash through, but if you know the comics, you know this guy is a game-changer. Dinosaurus is not your average mindless brute. Debuting in issue #68, this highly intelligent dinosaur-hybrid is actually the split personality of scientist David Anders. Think Spider-Man's Lizard, but with a moral compass that's way more complicated. Dinosaurus genuinely wants to save the world, focusing on environmental preservation, and that shared sense of purpose brings him and Mark together as unlikely allies. But this is Invincible , so you know things won't stay simple for long. After a falling out with Cecil, Dinosaurus starts walking a fine line between hero and villain, forcing Mark to grapple with some serious ethical dilemmas. Without spoiling too much, let's just say his story arc is one of the most compelling in the series, an ally who becomes an antagonist in a way that hits hard and feels earned. Rhys taking on this role is a fantastic choice. The guy has serious acting chops, and his voice work could give Dinosaurus the depth and nuance fans would want for the character. As the looming Viltrumite war inches closer, Dinosaurus is going to be a key piece of Mark's journey, pushing him to define what kind of hero he really wants to be. Invincible Season 4 is currently in production, and with a fifth season already greenlit, the future of the series on Prime Video looks incredible. Buckle up, because if the show stays true to the comics, Dinosaurus is going to deliver some of the wildest, most thought-provoking moments yet.

INVINCIBLE Scores Early Season 5 Renewal at Prime Video, Matthew Rhys Joins Season 4 — GeekTyrant
Prime Video isn't done with one of its biggest animated hits. Invincible has officially been renewed for Season 5, long before Season 4 premieres in 2026. The renewal comes just months after the explosive Season 3 finale in March, which broke records as Prime Video's most-watched animated season of all time, according to the streamer. This early greenlight continues a pattern for Invincible as Season 4 was ordered months before Season 3 launched, and the show's third season was locked in not long after its debut in 2021. Clearly, Prime has zero doubts about this series' staying power. Adding to the excitement, Emmy-winning actor Matthew Rhys ( The Americans, Perry Mason ) has joined the voice cast for Season 4. His role is still under wraps, but creator Robert Kirkman hinted during an interview that fans can expect a major comic book villain to finally make an appearance. 'It would certainly be weird if [Thragg] didn't show up in the show,' Kirkman said. 'I mean, I don't know. It's so tough. Here's what I'll say: He's been cast and he's amazing.' While Kirkman didn't confirm who Rhys is playing, there's a good chance that the actor could be lending his voice to the ruthless Viltrumite leader himself. Season 4 is shaping up to be a big one, and the show is already racking up accolades. Invincible recently earned its second-ever Emmy nomination, with Steven Yeun scoring his first nod for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. Yeun returns alongside Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons to round out the stellar cast. With Season 5 now officially on the way and major players joining the roster, it looks like Invincible is just getting started. Check out the Season 5 announcement below!
