Last week, tabletop gaming royalty Critical Role announced their highly anticipated fourth campaign at their Indianapolis live show. Premiering on Oct. 2, the currently untitled actual-play series will see the troupe of voice actors once again craft an intricately told fantasy saga whose improvised story and action will be determined by player decision and rolls of the dice, streaming live for fans to see.

Worlds will soon collide for fans of tabletop roleplaying games as a major shakeup in the actual play community just hit. Critical Role returns! Albeit with some massive changes.

During a live show in Indiana tonight, the cast of Critical Role announced their newest campaign (and fourth overall) will begin airing live on Oct. 2 and will break away from the existing lore of Exandria to introduce a new world. But more shocking is the news that the company’s founding member and primary Game Master, Matthew Mercer, won’t be...

Contrary to popular (internet joke) belief, “Dimension 20” Brennan Lee Mulligan is not abandoning his career to make custom American Girl doll shoes. No, not only has Mulligan struck a new three-year development deal at his longtime home media company Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor) but he’ll be visiting the team at Critical Role as their Game Master for the next core campaign of the tabletop role-playing game, actual-play series’.

Premiering Thursday, Oct. 2, the currently untitled Campaign 4 will be “ushering in a new era with new legends to be forged in a brand new world,” per Critical Role. The fourth installment follows the previous core campaigns: “Vox Machina” (Campaign 1), “The Mighty Nein” (Campaign 2) and most recently “Bells Hells” (Campaign 3).

Best known as the dungeon master for his Dropout actual-play series “Dimension 20,” Mulligan will serve as Game Master for the full duration of Campaign 4, “bringing his signature depth, humor, wit, and...

The Legend of Vox Machina has been renewed for a fifth and final season at Prime Video, well ahead of the Season 4 debut.

The creative team announced the news during the animated series’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, when it was also revealed that the series will return for Season 4 in 2026. Audiences were treated to a first look at the upcoming fourth season, which you can watch above.

In Season 3, the Chroma Conclave’s path of destruction spreads like wildfire while the Cinder King hunts down Vox Machina. Our lovable band of misfits must rise above inner (and outer) demons to try and save their loved ones, Tal’Dorei, and all of Exandria.

“A huge congratulations to our creative collaborators at Critical Role and Titmouse...

Prime Video treated fans to an exciting first glimpse of The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 during the Critical Role panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The sneak peek teases high-stakes battles, darker magic, and the looming presence of one of the franchise’s most infamous villains. The panel featured the main cast of Laura Bailey, Liam O’Brien, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Travis Willingham, Taliesin Jaffe, Sam Riegel, and Matthew Mercer, who shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes and confirmed that the upcoming season will push Vox Machina into their most perilous adventure yet. Prime Video also confirmed a release window for Season 4, so fans can officially start looking forward to the next chapter in the adventure with some certainty.

A Dark Turn Ahead for Vox Machina

The exclusive footage shown at San Diego Comic-Con teases the party’s mounting challenges as they move into the climactic “Vecna arc” from Critical Role’s first campaign.

Fans of Critical Role have reason to celebrate: the first official footage from the animated adaptation of Campaign 2, titled The Mighty Nein, has just debuted, alongside the announcement of its long-awaited release date. Revealed during Critical Role’s panel at San Diego Comic‑Con 2025, the new clip blends moody visuals with trademark character-driven storytelling, offering an exciting glimpse at what’s to come on Prime Video this fall.

The Mighty Nein Comes to Life

The clip introduces several core members of the Mighty Nein – Nott the Brave, Caleb Widogast, Jester Lavorre, Fjord Stone, Beauregard Lionett, and Mollymauk Tealeaf – in their animated incarnations, each imbued with the familiar quirks and chemistry that made them fan favorites. The visuals hint at a darker, more mature tone than The Legend of Vox Machina, with strong emphasis on secrecy, trauma, and fractured relationships that will gradually evolve into bonds of necessity throughout the runtime.

Prime Video has renewed The Legend of Vox Machina for a fifth and final season. The pickup was announced Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con, well ahead of the animated series’ Season 4 premiere in 2026.

Amazon Prime Video is expanding its Legend of Vox Machina universe with a bold new animated sequel: The Mighty Nein. Based on Critical Role’s beloved second campaign of Dungeons & Dragons, the show features a ragtag group of troubled heroes, Nott, Caleb, Beauregard, Jester, Fjord, Mollymauk, and later Yasha, venturing into the darker, more mature territories of Exandria’s Wildemount.

Taking place years after the events of Vox Machina, which is about to get its fourth season, the upcoming series features the same cast reprising their iconic roles and a narrative that is just as deep but darker and more mature than the Og series.

The San Diego Comic-Con lineup of films and television panels may never return to its pre-Covid level, but the 2025 schedule has enough of both to keep Sdcc attendees hopping between Hall H, Ballroom 20, and the Indigo Ballroom. TV panels once again outnumber movie panels, with the casts from series including Peacemaker, Outlander (the original and its prequel), Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Resident Alien, Revival, Gen V, Ghosts, and Abbott Elementary making their way to downtown San Diego for the sold-out pop culture convention.

The Anne Rice Universe will be represented by Interview with the Vampire and Talamasca. Plus, the stars of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Upload, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, Alien: Earth, Dexter: Resurrection, Spartacus: House of Ashur, and Paradise are scheduled to attend the 2025 Sdcc.

San Diego Comic-Con is rolling out its schedule for the 2025 convention this week, which runs from July 24–27. It will likely be a quieter convention this year, since neither Marvel Studios nor DC Studios are planning a major panel covering their upcoming projects. But for the first time in its history, “Star Wars” creator George Lucas will appear in person at the largest annual fan gathering in North America, to give a first look at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is expected to open in Los Angeles in 2026. He’ll be joined in Hall H by director Guillermo del Toro, visual designer Doug Chiang and moderator Queen Latifah.

“We are beyond thrilled to welcome George Lucas to Comic-Con for the very first time,” said Comic-Con’s chief of communications and strategy David Glanzer in a statement. “Nearly five decades ago, ‘Star Wars’ made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention,...

It's been nearly a year since Season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina finished airing on Prime Video. While the release date for Season 4 has yet to be revealed, Travis Willingham shared a production update for both this show and its upcoming series, The Mighty Nein.

He teased that The Mighty Nein adaptation will feature moments fans want to see while keeping it fresh for the newcomers. Additionally, he promised more updates in the summer.

Grog Strongjaw, a hulking barbarian warrior who once helped save the realm by splitting a terrible dragon’s skull in twain with a mighty cleave of his axe, did not expect to find himself dancing, doing the worm for the amusement of a fiendish emcee.

He and the rest of the cast of Critical Role were the ones who were actually dancing,...

After 50 years creeping from the margins of popular culture into the mainstream, Dungeons & Dragons is now bigger than ever. Evolving beyond its roots as a pen-and-paper tabletop RPG (Ttrpg), D&d has inspired countless imitators, novels, movies, video games, and — most importantly — generations of storytellers and creators, who learned to broaden the scope of their imagination by playing the game.

It’s those storytellers now whose impact in the era of YouTube, Twitch livestreaming, and podcasting have reinvented Dungeons & Dragons for a new generation, capitalizing on the rise...

The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated series with three finished seasons available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, with a fourth on the way. The show is based on a series of Dungeons & Dragons sessions put on by the members of Critical Role, a group of voice actors who have spun their hang-out sessions into a media empire.

Because seasons 1, 2, and 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina each covered roughly 30 live Critical Role gameplay sessions, I expect season 4 to take us through episodes 73-100 or so. The Vox Machina campaign runs for 121 episodes in total. That means the creators and voice actors of Critical Role may be planning a fifth season to round out the story, or they could pack all the remaining episodes in season 4. We know they're working on a new animated adaptation of The Mighty Nein, the campaign they played after Vox Machina was finished.

As epic and funny as The Legend of Vox Machina can be, there are also the moments where it reminds viewers that it is based upon a Dungeons & Dragons campaign that did not hold its punches when it came to its sadder moments. From grappling with death to deeply hurtful betrayals and even personal conflicts between party members, the last three seasons have given its fans almost as many tearjerkers as it has moments to cheer the party on or just burst into uncontrollable laughter.

That being said, it's hard to know for certain which moments were actually the saddest. Death isn't necessarily a permanent thing in this world, but it is extremely difficult to undo and often exacts a heavy toll in exchange for cheating the natural order of things. Likewise, the moments where the party faced personal issues among its members also had raised stakes of their own.

The Prime Video series The Legend of Vox Machina is still going strong after three action-packed seasons, with Amazon having just renewed the show for Season 4. That's a huge accomplishment for the Critical Role stars who have successfully brought their characters into the realm of television, and found a whole new audience. They've been able to cultivate fans amongst RPG players, fantasy lovers, and those who just like their TV to be a little different.

Cbr spoke to Vox Machina cast members Travis Willingham (the voice of Grog Strongjaw), Ashley Johnson (who plays Pike Trickfoot), Marisha Ray (who portrays Keyleth) and Liam O'Brien (the voice of Vax Vessar) about having three seasons under their proverbial belt.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Legend of Vox Machina season 3.

Season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina saw multiple villains vanquished in the last few episodes, but the most fitting end for the show's longest-running villain was a missed opportunity. By The Legend of Vax Machina season 3's ending, three different villains were vanquished, and another either dead or banished. The dragons Thordak (Lance Reddick) and Raishan (Cree Summer) were slain, the demon Orthax (Matthew Mercer) was seemingly killed (but mostly likely simply permanently banished from their dimension), and human antagonist Dr. Anna Ripley (Kelly Hu) was dead.

In the case of Ripley, it was Vax (Liam O'Brien) and Vex (Laura Bailey) who tracked her down on her ship and ultimately ended her life after a visually stunning battle. Vex was the one who sent the kill shot straight through Ripley's heart, using the trick arrowhead that Percy...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Legend of Vox Machina season 3.

The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 dropped its final episodes of the season, delivering an emotional ending that set up season 4's new villain. The critical hit Legend of Vox Machina season 3 continued and closed out the Chroma Conclave arc first set up in season 1, with Vox Machina finally defeating Thordak (Lance Reddick), Ana Ripley (Kelly Hu), Orthax (Matthew Mercer), and lastly Raishan (Cree Summer), putting an end to multiple villains that have been antagonizing them for the past three seasons. But The Legend of Vox Machina has always been a show that has smartly balanced high-octane action with emotional weight and character moments, and season 3 was no different.

Multiple relationships took center stage in The Legend of Vox Machina season 3, none greater than the love story between Vex (Laura Bailey) and Percy (Taliesin Jaffe). The romance between Vax (Liam O'Brien...

The Legend of Vox Machina's tone has become bleaker over the seasons, a portent of what lies ahead for its misfit band of adventurers. Prime Video has now stoked hopes that Vox Machina's campaigns would continue after Season 3 has run its course.

Prime Video has renewed The Legend of Vox Machina for Season 4. Per Deadline, the announcement was made a day before the series' Season 3 finale on Oct. 24. Produced with Titmouse and Critical Role / Metapigeon Studios, the animated show is based on the first Dungeons & Dragons campaign developed for Critical Role, a weekly live-streamed series hosted by professional voice actors. The first ten episodes of Season 1 were produced with a Kickstarter fund before Amazon picked up the show for its second and third seasons. The series follows Vox Machina's legendary encounters with the continent of Tal'Dorei's fantastic peoples and creatures.

And while such big-budget, literary-backed adventures like The Wheel of Time, The Rings of Power, and The Boys get a monster share of public attention, they all ultimately fall in comparison to this magic-wielding, lute-swinging series: The Legend of Vox Machina.

[The following story contains major spoilers for Episodes 3-6 of The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3.] They’ve visited hell. They’ve retrieved a sacred vestige. They’ve slain a dragon.

You know which one we’re talking about, because if you’re anything like us, you probably haven’t stopped rewinding it.

Castlevania is an adult animated dark medieval fantasy action-adventure series created by Warren Ellis.

The core cast of “The Legend of Vox Machina” is pretty unique among voice actors, or actors of any stripe, really. It’s rare that an actor originates the concept for a character, lives with them for nearly a decade, improvises nearly 400 hours of material, and participates closely in the character design, scripting, and storyboarding of an animated series — all before they step into the booth to record their lines.

The Prime Video series (about a group of fantasy fuck-ups who might just be the heroes the magical land of Exandra needs) balances that wealth of experience that the “Critical Role” cast — Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham — all have with an adventuring party full of guest voices. Rachel House, Stephanie Beatriz, Gina Torres, and the late, great Lance Reddick, among others, all sub in for characters originally voiced...

The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 premieres October 3 on Prime Video, and Screen Rant had a fantastic time chatting with the creative minds behind the show. Fans are about to be plunged into a darker version of Exandria than they have previously experienced. While based on Matthew Mercer's Critical Role actual play campaign, the animated show continues to spread its wings and take liberties with its source material, though the presence of the original writers and cast ensures it always maintains its DnD-heavy spirit.

While The Legend of Vox Machina season 2 saw Vax (voiced by Liam O'Brien) give his life for his sister, he managed to be resurrected and converted into the Champion of Ravens. This doesn't stop his beloved Keyleth (Marisha Ray) from feeling the loss, however, or Vex (Laura Bailey) from feeling the guilt. But whatever inner demons and external rifts they undergo,...

The proliferation of tabletop gaming has become a godsend for entertainment. The rise of shows like Dimension 20 and The Adventure Zone helped to connect the dots between comedy and role-playing. After all, when actors and voice performers take center stage, these experiences become the ultimate manifestation of improv and off-the-cuff comedy. Basing The Legend of Vox Machina on an established series like Critical Role was a no-brainer in terms of plot.

The Legend of Vox Machina rises to the top of the gaming world through incredible animation and relatable stakes. In Season 3, the cast only further improves, and the brilliant storytelling again ups the ante. It’s a grandiose and epic story in all the right ways, assuring audiences that these characters can make brilliant stories forever. Amazon Prime continues to have a winner on its hands.
