Invincible season 4 ends with a twist most fans didn’t see coming.
Mark and Thragg’s long-awaited showdown on Earth doesn’t explode into violence. Instead, it ends in a tense truce that could reshape the Viltrumite Empire’s future.
But the finale’s post-credits scene drops an even bigger bomb, teasing a dangerous new threat targeting both Mark and the Viltrumites on Earth. Naturally, viewers are now wondering what happens next.
Highlights
- Invincible season 4 ends with Mark and Thragg forming a tense truce instead of fighting
- A post-credits tease introduces a dangerous new threat targeting the Viltrumites.
- There are more threats to come as the show has only adapted up to the midpoint of the original comic.

Yes, Invincible has already been renewed for a fifth installment.
With 144 issues in the comic, the adaptation has only reached the halfway point of Mark’s story.
In a March 2026 interview with Collider, Kirkman and co-showrunner Simon Racioppa suggested that the fifth season could arrive sooner than expected. The duo revealed that the new episodes were already close to completing production.

“End of production, start of post. I guess we can say that,” Racioppa said.
When asked whether the next installment would arrive in March 2027, Kirkman admitted that while the show has a familiar release pattern, season 5 could arrive earlier.
“Maybe May. Maybe January. I don't know,” he said.
Invincible is streaming on Prime Video.
