Overview
- Prime Video premieres the eight-episode season on November 19 with a three-episode drop, followed by weekly Wednesday releases through December 24.
- Episodes run about 45 minutes each, a longer format than The Legend of Vox Machina that supports deeper character focus and worldbuilding.
- Reviewers broadly commend Titmouse’s animation, the returning cast’s performances, and character depth, while noting dense lore and pacing that often feels like setup.
- The series adapts Critical Role’s Campaign 2 on Wildemount, bringing misfit adventurers together after the theft of the Beacon amid escalating tensions between the Kryn Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire.
- Showrunner Tasha Huo leads the Amazon MGM Studios–Critical Role–Titmouse production, with the original Critical Role cast reprising their roles and Matthew Mercer serving as an executive producer; Prime teased Episode 1 with a free YouTube preview from November 14–16.
