“Those animators are working overtime!” – Fans laugh as Invincible Season 4 is officially set for 2026

Fans of Invincible were left both excited and slightly unhinged after the long-awaited news: Season 4 is officially coming… in 2026. That’s right, folks—two more years before we see Mark Grayson take another round of punches (both literal and emotional). While everyone expected a wait, no one quite expected it to be this long.

Naturally, the internet did what it does best—spiral into a mix of excitement, confusion, and pure comedic gold. Within hours of the announcement, social media exploded with reactions ranging from disbelief to downright hilarious coping mechanisms. Because if there’s one thing Invincible fans know how to do, it’s suffer—and make memes about it.

Invincible Season 4 release date shocks fans

The announcement confirming the 2026 release immediately sparked debates, jokes, and a collective existential crisis among fans. The series, which debuted in 2021, has had a notorious gap between seasons, leaving viewers craving more of Mark’s superhero struggles. And while Season 2 only just wrapped up, many expected a faster turnaround for Season 4. Instead, they got the equivalent of a “please be patient” sticker slapped onto their screens.

The viral post confirming the release date spread like wildfire, with thousands of fans jumping in to share their (often unfiltered) thoughts. Some were heartbroken, others were in denial, and a good handful just accepted their fate with a “welp, see you in two years” attitude. The internet’s reaction was so strong that even people who hadn’t watched the show felt like they were missing out on something big.

One fan said:

"Those animators are working overtime"

Of course, the most iconic part of any Invincible News isn’t just the show itself—it’s the fans. And boy, did they deliver.

A user summed it up perfectly:

"At this rate, Mark might age faster than the animation process… lol.. jk. Can’t wait."

Honestly, if we get to Season 5 and Mark has wrinkles, we might need some explanations from the animators.

Another fan jokingly questioned the wait time:

"I feel like maybe they should be owing us Season 4 later this year but what do I know?"

To be fair, when you’ve got superheroes who can literally fly through space, you start expecting things to move a little faster.

A confused user was more concerned about something else entirely:

"Invincible has been cast no way who will he be."

Sir, Mark has been Mark for three seasons now. But we appreciate the enthusiasm.

And then, there’s the classic peer pressure angle. A user shared their personal struggle:

"Okay now I really need to watch 😭 my friend keeps bothering me."

We all have that one friend who won’t shut up about Invincible. If you don’t, congrats—you are that friend.

Finally, one fan took a more dramatic (yet relatable) approach:

Honestly? Same.

With Invincible Season 4 set for 2026, fans have plenty of time to rewatch, theorize, and (let’s be honest) complain about the wait. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that this show is always worth the patience.

Until then, we’ll be here refreshing our feeds, making memes, and pretending we have the emotional strength to endure another Invincible season.
