I’m Simon Racioppa, showrunner for the Invincible series on Prime Video. AMA! AMA

Hey Reddit, happy Invincible Friday. Heard you wanted to chat about the show, so I’m here to answer as many questions as I can without spoiling where all of this is going. I wrote Episode 7, so this is a particularly special week for me, and have enjoyed reading all of your reactions so far.

And here’s the Invincible trailer: https://youtu.be/-bfAVpuko5o

Let’s do this!

EDIT: Thanks everyone! Your support makes all the hard work over the last few years worthwhile – for me, and everyone else who worked on Season one of Invincible during a very strange and difficult last year. Hope to be back here sometime soon!

This show, and this episode in particular was EPIC. I have never been so invested in a animated series, and left in awe except for only one other series, Attack on Titan. My question is what are the plans looking like as of now for the continuation of the show, and on a side note do you have a preferred animated series where you take inspiration from?

We'd want to continue the show in the same way – following the books as closely as we can, expanding areas and characters we’d like to go deeper into, and making tweaks here and there to adapt it to a different medium – and always trying to make each episode better than the one before.

For inspiration, it was a mix of animated and live-action series – but also other comic books, novels, plays, music, etc.
