The Legend of Vox Machina is an American adult animated fantasy action television series produced by Metapigeon,[5] Titmouse, Inc., and Amazon Studios, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on January 28, 2022. The series is based on the first campaign of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role. It stars Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham, reprising their roles from the campaign.
The first season consists of twelve episodes, the first ten of which were funded via a Kickstarter campaign. In November 2019, ahead of the series premiere, it was renewed by Amazon for a second season which premiered on January 20, 2023. In October 2022, ahead of season two's premiere, Amazon renewed the series for a third season,[6][7] which premiered on October 3, 2024. It was renewed for a fourth season the same month.[8]
The series received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences, with praise for its animation, voice acting, action sequences, story, writing, emotional weight, and faithfulness to the campaign.
Finding a comfortable place between an irreverent comedy and high fantasy, The Legend of Vox Machina shines when it hits it stride, blending music and action and sprinkling in moments of heart.
The show leaves room for the characters to continue to make jokes and have fun, keeping it primarily a comedy, while still offering the heavier topics portrayed the level of respect they deserve.
