"I could not be more thrilled with this AMAZING cast! This show is going to be HUGE! #wow," Kirkman tweeted.

The eight-episode series is to premiere on the subscription streaming service in 2020.

"Invincible is an adult animated superhero show that revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson, who's just like every other guy his age -- except that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man. But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers that his father's legacy may not be as heroic as it seems," a synopsis said.

The Invincible comic-book series concluded in February 2018 after a 15-year run. A separate film adaptation is also in the works.
