Invincible Season 2 set to premiere in November, but faces episode split and strike-related delays

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Invincible Season 2 draws near, fans are eager to know how many episodes they can expect and what the release schedule will look like. The latest updates from San Diego Comic-Con 2023 shed light on the season's unique format and potential reasons behind the split.

During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, series creator Robert Kirkman offered both good news and bad news for Invincible enthusiasts. The good news is that the premiere of Season 2 is just around the corner, set to grace screens on Friday, Nov. 3. However, the bad news is that fans will have to exercise some patience, as the season will be divided into two parts.

Invincible Season 2 will consist of a total of eight episodes. However, only four episodes are slated to air in 2023, with the remaining four episodes scheduled for release in 2024. This decision to split the season has left fans curious about the reasoning behind it.

While Amazon, the streaming platform hosting Invincible, did not officially confirm a link between the episode split and the ongoing strike action in the entertainment industry, there are strong indications that it played a role. With actors participating in the strike, the post-production work may have been put on hold, leading to the staggered release of episodes.

Another possible reason for the season split could be Amazon's strategy to spread out its content releases. As streaming services face the challenge of balancing fresh content amid industry-wide delays, stretching Invincible Season 2 across two years could be part of Amazon's approach to managing its content
