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.

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

Based on his Avatar, I'm assuming it's about the Critical Drinker's term. That's why I don't use it here, and that's all I'll say about it.

I just got tickets to see Critical Role live at GenCon, so now I'm extra pumped for the rest of this series - I've been rationing it.

::necro rather than create a new thread::

I binged most of S3 yesterday, having only seen the first few episodes before being distracted by other responsibilities.

I really love this show. It is an almost Gunnian mix of heart and profanity, on top of being absolutely gorgeous with phenomenal fights.

Plus, it is fun to run to YouTube and watch the table events that inspired the big moments.

I am looking forward to S4, and am curious about Might Nein. Is the latter different enough to feel distinct?

On the topic of the Mighty Nein, yes, it is different character wise and thematically but the style is similar.

How far into the Vox Machina campaign are we? In other words, about how many seasons would it take to animate the whole story?

Also: I'm kinda dreading Mighty Nein. I have a good friend who was traumatized because they killed off her favorite character on her birthday, and this is just going to reignite that.

I think they said 5 seasons.

Is this the "controversy" where a guest player was responsible for a regulars death? I don't remember the specifics but I do remember it being a THING.

The Mighty Nein includes Jester, who I think is probably considered the best Critical Role character. And there's also some pretty interesting character arcs for other characters in the campaign.

She could skip it. I've never seen the film The Road because the book was too intense for me. There's no shame in it.

They set up the final arc with Vecna at the end of the latest Season: next Season is likely the last.

To be fair, they didn’t kill him so much as the dice did: Mercer and the players were quite surprised.
