All 27 episodes of Invader ZIM were released on DVD, along with the pilot, an alternate cut of The Most Horrible X-mas Ever, and audio from seven of the unfinished episodes.

All episodes after "The Frycook What Came from All That Space" were scrapped in mid-production. A handful of recordings by the series voice cast exist for some of these unfinished episodes, and the scripts for many can now be found on fansites on the web. Most of this material was also released with the Invader Zim 'house' DVD box set as a special edition disc. Jhonen stated in the audio commentary that had the show continued, it would have leaned more towards a sci-fi styled show, with more space battles along the lines of "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars".
