Critical Role has signed on with Amazon for exclusiv🔜e TV rights and a first-look film deal, while the Mighty Nein is also getting its꧃ own animated series in the not-so-distant future.

Although this doesn't mean that a Critical Role movie is guaranteed (or planned, even), the agreement gives Amazon first refusal on any films produced by the company. However, a Mighty Nein show based on Critical Role's second D&D campaign is confirmed to be on its way. Revealed through a teaser trailer featuring the Critical Role studio, voice-over from the cast, and Mighty Nein miniatures, it's being worked on by those responsible for The Legend of Vox Machina along with other animated series like Star Trek: Lower Dec♒ks. 

, production on the Mighty Nein series will start soon. This doesn't mean the end of The Legend of Vox Machina, though. Instead, that show was renewed for a third season back in 2022.

Despite sharing a worl📖d with Vox Machina, the Mighty Nein's story is set on a different continent called Wildemount and occurs roughly 20 years later. The original cast also take on completely new roles, though certain non-playable characters from the first campaign do show up in this story.

The Mighty Nein and Vox Machina are just two of the D&D adventuring groups created by Critical Role. The actual-play series is currently on its third campaign (with all-new characters and taking place around seven years after the Mighty Nein's story), and has run multiple one-offs that explore different parts of the Critical Role world. The most recent of these was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Exandria Unlimited: Cataclysm, and as a prequel that✤ established the setting's apocalyptic backstory, could be a prime candidate for the movie treatment.
