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!

My question: i assume that Amazon switched their philosophy for releasing shows from binge watching to a weekly release during the middle of your production.

Did they tell you this? Did this effect how you did the show or was it already made? Did you like or prefer this change?

I was told about this during post-production on the show, but it didn’t really impact anything from a show point of view. We still had to finish all the episodes by a specific date. I kinda like the staggered release to be honest. It lets the show breathe a little, gives the audience time to digest each episode. And gives me something to look forward to every week. My wife and I have been making different pizzas every Friday to watch the episodes – last week was Chicago Deep dish. The week before was Detroit style. Tonight is New York!
