Invincible season 2 returns for part 2, with a new batch of four episodes releasing over the next four weeks. The latest episode picks up two months after we left off at the end of part 1 and Mark (Steven Yeun) is still on the planet Thraxa helping to rebuild after the Viltrumite attack.

After releasing separately last year, Wes Anderson's latest batch of short films are now being re-released as a feature-length anthology.
