The Mighty Nein Debuts on Prime Video With Three Episodes and Rave Early Reviews

Early reviews praise a darker, long-form adaptation with 45‑minute episodes emphasizing deeper world‑building.

Overview

  • Prime Video launched the adult animated series with a three‑episode premiere, with five additional episodes rolling out weekly for an eight‑episode season.
  • Rotten Tomatoes showed a 100% score from 14 critic reviews at launch, reflecting broadly positive reception.
  • Set roughly 20 years after The Legend of Vox Machina, the story shifts to Wildemount in Exandria and adopts a slower, more mature tone.
  • Episodes run around 45 minutes, a format change from Vox Machina’s half‑hour installments to support a deliberate, character‑driven pace.
  • The core cast from Critical Role returns alongside high‑profile guest voices, and the opening arc centers on a stolen Luxon Beacon that heightens tensions between the Kryn Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire.
