It looks likeInvincible, the Amazon Prime TV show adapted from wildly popular Image Comics book of the same name, could end up running for seven or eight seasons -and a video game.
Speakingrecently toPolygon, Robert Kirkman, creator of theInvinciblecomic book discussed his overall plans for theTVshow. Kirkman is no stranger to long-running TV adaptations of his work.The Walking Deadran for 11 seasons, eventually moving away from Kirkman’s narrative, while also launching several spin-off shows.
Take a look at theInvinciblevideo game below!
In the interview, Kirkman says seven to eight seasons could be “enough” to adapt the entire comic run. However, he also stated this was a “moving target” and that there are events that never made it into the comics which he would like to bring to the screen.

The first season of the show covered up to issue 13 of the comics over its eight episodes, but it did stretch out into the world ofInvincibleto bring in smaller stories and focal points from the books.
The plan “moving forward” seems to be one of flexibility and one that could radically expand the story which debuted January 2003. “I think it’d be cool to have some episodes here and there that are completely original” remarked Kirkman. Which fits, given that so many adaptations nowadays play loose with the original story, expanding, or even removing arcs. It worked for The Walking Dead, after all.
