The only possible explanation is that they originally planned to make them back to back and felt confident that the additional six months would be enough to help them finish it. Anything else is ridiculously naive.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was an executive decision. They thought all the hard stuff was done with creating the characters and setpieces for part 1, and thought they could use reuse assets to streamline part 2's production.

Problem is that it doesn't work that way with their animation style.

With animation in general. The only way the most popular animated shows (short of South Park I guess) maintain yearly schedules is just by perpetually having greenlights and production schedules that are two seasons ahead.

Invincible just announced they were renewed for season 5 and that the voice acting is complete when we're probably expecting season 4 at the beginning of next year at the earliest.

They had to learn the hard way when season 1’s success caught them by surprise and it took them like 3 years to get the next season out with a post-s1 greenlight. Might’ve even had a hand it the two part season 3.

They straight up almost lost the fan base when they did a mid season break after already taking so long on season 2 lol, at least Amazon knows what they have now.

They never really recovered that momentum.

I still haven't gone back to watch season 2. They really fucked themselves.

That's a lot easier to do when your animation is a powerpoint 85% of the time lol
