The Legend of Vox Machina Renewed for Fourth Season

Amazon Studios has picked up the Critical Role animated series The Legend of Vox Machina for a fourth season. Amazon formally announced the pickup today, confirming that the show would continue past the current season. A fourth and fifth season of The Legend of Vox Machina was already in pre-production based on SAG-AFTRA contract database info, but this is the first public confirmation that future seasons are in the works. The announcement comes ahead of the release of the final episodes of Season 3, which release this evening in the US.

“We are beyond thrilled – and grateful – to continue the epic and wild adventures of Vex, Vax, Keyleth, Percy, Pike, Grog and everyone’s favorite character – Scanlan,” said executive producer Sam Riegel. “With each season, this show levels up, and we already have big plans to level up both our heroes and villains in Season Four.”

Amazon Studios is also developing a series based on The Mighty Nein, which is expected to be released in 2025.

Yeah. I mean… image that WOTC/Hasbro had an IP that featured a half-dozen characters, representing typical fantasy archetypes, and could create animated stories about their adventures.

I bet they’d try to feature them in game products and little digital freebies, to raise their profile, in the hopes of getting a studio to front the money to develop a cartoon series.

Crazy talk, I know…

I remember fondly the intro-to-4e videos.

The Gnome: "I'm a monster!"

I watch and enjoy the series, but the "modern audience" angle is objectively keeping the show from becoming a true phenomenon.

I'm sorry...what?

Can you explain that? Not sure what you mean by the "modern audience" angle.

I don't really get what you are suggesting. You mean because it has swears and stuff? You should see the actual plays.

Usually the 'modern audiences' criticism comes from the notion that a thing needs to be dumbed down or sanitized to remove controversial elements, IE the fear that modern WOTC would botch Dark Sun. But LOVM is very much not that.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to apply here in any case.

 

[Seramus]

Yeah, not much dumbing down in the series unless you count streamlined spellcasting down to a handful of iconic abilities.

I actually appreciate that the show has a relatively limited amount "character shouts what is happening, so the audience understands."

Some of the new content is downright clever, like Pike's card game focusing on Insight, a really appropriate challenge for a Cleric.
