The Mighty Nein Animated Series to Debut on Prime Video on November 19th

The animated adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign is set to debut on Prime Video next month. Prime Video released some new information about The Mighty Nein animated series, including its release date of November 19th. Several new stills were revealed via Rolling Stone, as well as the reveal of several guest stars appearing in the animated show. Mark Strong will play Trent Ikithon, Ming-Na Wen will play Dairon, Anika Noni Rose will play Marion Lavorre, Alan Cumming will play Gustav Fletching, and Auliʻi Cravalho will play Toya.

The Mighty Nein is an adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign, which ran from 2018 through 2021. The campaign featured a group of misfit heroes who were drawn into a conflict between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty, with the group uncovering corruption and deceit in both countries.

One key difference to The Mighty Nein compared to the previous Critical Role animated series The Legend of Vox Machina is that episodes will run for over 40 minutes. The cast is describing the series as more of a drama than The Legend of Vox Machina.

Ah, yes, I did misremember then. Thanks!

Yeah. It was definitely sad (to me) that a divine intervention couldn't get Molly back. It seemed like a classic "the dice have spoken" moment. But I understand it would have been unfair to heap that on Jaffe in the heat of the moment. He even tried to dodge the answer by being traumatized at first.

I suppose the effect of the "divine intervention" might be changed when the series reaches its end. But that's just speculation, and anyway, it would still be the very end of the series.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how much he wanted that character back, at the time. He's spent far more time on the replacement character, who has become quite a fan favourite (my spouse's favourite character, BTW).

It's funny that they are pitching this as more "serious" when the first trailer was anything but. I really like what I am seeing so far.

Looking forward to this. Not a Critter, haven't watched any of the Critical Role campaigns. But I really enjoyed Vox Machina, so I'm interested in seeing this.
