Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer It’s been 30 months since Season 1 of “Invincible” — the animated adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s popular comic book series — wrapped up on Prime Video, but don’t expect the show to spend time catching audiences up on the story when it finally returns Nov.

3. “I mean, we live in a modern era where everything is available,” says Kirkman, who also executive produces the show. He adds with a laugh, “Almost no consideration was made on that front.” Instead, Season 2 plunges viewers right back into the tumultuous life of high school senior and titular superhero Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), as he and his human mother Debbie (Sandra Oh) deal with the fallout from the devastating revelation that Mark’s father, Nolan (J.K.

Simmons) — a.k.a. the equally indestructible Omni-Man — is part of fascistic alien race bent on galactic domination. The show also picks up the storylines of its robust supporting cast, including Gillian Jacobs as Mark’s superhero friend Atom Eve; Walton Goggins as the secretive head of the Global Defense Agency, Cecil Stedman; Jason Mantzoukas as the hot-headed member of the Guardians of the Globe, Rex Splode; and Zazie Beetz as Mark’s human girlfriend, Amber.

Over two dozen actors joined the show for Season 2, led by Sterling K. Brown as the brilliant scientist Angstrom Levy, who is capable of accessing the multiverse.
