Invincible co-showrunners Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa say it won't go the way of Stranger Things and end with a feature-length finale

Nolan/Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) in Invincible seaosn 4.

In recent years, it's been all the rage for episodes of long-running shows not only to balloon in length, but to bring their stories home with a feature-length finale. See: Stranger Things, and this week's Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. But on the eve of Invincible season 4, co-showrunners Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa say the Prime Video superhero series will stay true to its small-screen origins to the very end.

"I'll regret saying this if we ever do it, but I think that when a television show moves into a movie finale, the structure doesn't usually translate, and it feels off to me," Kirkman says, in conversation with GamesRadar+ ahead of season 4's debut. "Maybe there's a way to do it that just hasn't really been done yet, where it would work and be a good payoff. But I think that you don't want to truncate your final stories to fit in a movie. The beauty of television is that you get this large canvas to play on. So, I'm against it until we do it, and then I've changed my mind!"
