Invader Zim first aired in 2001 on Nickelodeon, and ran until 2002, with reruns in 2004. It was cancelled in mid-2002 due to various reasons, such as budget, lack of audience, as well as controversy due to the intense themes as well as violence and gore.

In 2017, it was announced that it was getting a revival movie called Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, set for release in 2019.
